Alright. I'm a Philly expat. We have some Philly spots, including a big sports bar that has a dedicated Philly 2nd floor area for when the birds play. They are reserving it for Philly fans for the Superbowl and no one is going to cause a scene about it. We jabber jaw, we go tit for tat. We have our little differences, but buying out another team's fan bar for their Superbowl, causing a scene at their bar, or being violent is just classless as hell.

Let them enjoy the game in their spot, don't be dicks. Go birds.

But they don’t even know that Eagles fans bought out the bar, they just said it wasn’t regulars. I’m sure some shithead Eagles fans were trying to get in there, but the bar had a lot of publicity recently, it could be a lot of new, younger patrons also.

Sounds like you clearly don't know any "real" Eagles fans then.

The word in the hospitality industry that NFL "fans" are a whole different sports crowd from, let's say, soccer (and not in the best way).

Rittenhouse Antichrist - (love your name) - from someone in the industry over 30 years, I can tell you that NFL fans can be pretty bad, but… hands down, hockey fans are the worst! There’s just not the large numbers of them, in any city, as there are football fans. But if say, the Flyers or the Rangers were in the Stanley Cup finals, you would see how ugly it can get! 😮😁

(I live to... satisfy, thank you).

Come to think of it - I don't think I ever hung out with proper hockey fans, but I also lost all interest in watching the sport (along with basketball) about 25 years ago.

I hear ya’. Hockey is a boring watch - on TV, and the NBA has gone to shit, though I still watch some. Oh, and I think “proper hockey fans” is the ultimate oxymoron. 😆 Give me the NFL, college football and basketball!

Idk, I think it's kinda cool we're the last city that does provincialism in sports. The diffuse and impossible to detect nature of community in the United States has created an equally diffused and wishy wash sports culture in every major American city except for here and sometimes that lends itself to dumb violent shit but you gotta take the good with the bad. It's fun to think that no matter our differences we all go hard for Philly sports.

This isn't violent, it's just annoying to the small Chiefs fanbase in Philly so to that end it's honestly kind of funny. Go birds.
