No. I was at a brewery earlier tonight and a total stranger told how a friend of hers went to a concert (so not a sports related event) but he had a Pens license plate cover and found he had 4 slashed tires after the show.

It wasn't surprising bc I've heard variations of this story multiple times.

I'm a born and bred Pgh'er who hates Philly sports (moreso the Flyers, so I've never rooted against the Phillies/Eagles, I've never rooted for them.) and I've never felt the urge to slash a person's tires. Or the other similar crappy stuff I've heard.

It's easy to root against Philly sports teams when I hear stories like I did tonight. I will be rooting for either the Bengals or the Chiefs.

So sorry that your friend had that experience.

Tonight, it was a stranger. I wasn't surprised bc this is common for Philly fans to do criminal acts such as this.

I’m sorry experience was so nasty. I have many friends that live in Philadelphia and I’ve got to many tailgate and games, Phillies, Eagles and even the Flyers. I’m from Pittsburgh and obviously love the Steelers did the penguins and but one has ever gave me a hard time. We must chops a lot, but it’s all in good fun, people are people doesn’t matter where you go. I respect how absolutely devoted the fans are, I mean they live and breathe Phillies and Eagles right now, easy to do when they’re winning but even when they are not, they are pretty loyal. I even went to the Penguins Flyers playoff game a few years ago in Philly for game six when the Penguins won and no one bothered me with my penguins jersey, just some random stuff in good fun. On the flipside, I’ve seen some Steeler fans be pretty nasty to people from Baltimore and it’s embarrassing. I think whenever stuff like that happens, it really reflects poorly on the hosting city and I don’t blame you feeling the way you do. My experience has been positive there
