Rumble In the Jungle Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 [img]http://l.yimg.com/a/p/sp/editorial_image/58/58e67c7e3ffb0806224a232c1342167a/philadelphia_fans_made_fiancee_of_eagles_rookie_cry.jpg[/img] A [url="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/phi/"]Philadelphia Eagles[/url] rookie said the team's fans were so vicious to his family members at a recent game that they [url="http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/casey_matthews_says_fans_harassed_family_made_fianc_cry/8608507"]made his fiancee cry[/url]. Fourth-round pick [url="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/24903/"]Casey Matthews[/url] has struggled in his first season in Philadelphia, not living up to the lofty expectations his surname carries. While his brother Clay stars in Green Bay and his uncle Bruce has a bust in Canton, Casey has played mainly on special teams throughout the Eagles disappointing 2011 campaign. Recently, that led to his hometown fans taunting his fiancee. He [url="http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/casey_matthews_says_fans_harassed_family_made_fianc_cry/8608507"]told [/url]Philly.com's Les Bowen that she was with her aunt and young cousin: "They harassed [them] and made my fiancee cry. It's tough. It's frustrating. That's just how they are here. If you win they love you, so I guess we've just got to turn things around and just start winning again." Matthews should be upset. Heckling a family wearing the jersey of a player is low, even for Philadelphia. But part of me thinks some of this is on Matthews. If you know the way some fans at the game can get, why do you let your family go to the game wearing your jersey? You might as well draw a big target on their back under the words "heckle me." Don't wander into the lion's den and then complain when you get bit. This news came out the same day Philadelphia fans were [url="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/1112/nfl.players.poll.toughest.fans/content.1.html"]voted the toughest in football[/url]. A Sports Illustrated poll asked 321 current NFL players that question and Philly received 20 percent of the vote. The Eagles cross-state rivals, the [url="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/pit/"]Pittsburgh Steelers[/url], were second. This yr them being shitty couldn't have happened to a better team.

Apparently the only way to excuse Philly fan behavior is with old school rape logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The PatternMaster Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 why is this news, everbody knows Philly fans are classless POS. No surprise here, you have to know what expect when dealing with certain people. It's like wandering around liberty ave at 3 am and being surprised that you got robbed....what did they expect?
