I would love to see one of these new age amateur soccer games where there's "no score and everyone is special" attended by a bunch of Philly fans. They'd probably be chucking batteries at the kids when they were being awarded their participant ribbons.

I became an Eagles fan when I was 14 and visiting Philly. Back then I wasn't the massive NFL fan that am now, so I didn't really have any awareness of the reputation that Philly fans had. Anyways, I was sitting with some fans at the Vet and Eagles botched a play pretty badly and almost on extinct, I just started booing....and I pretty much fit right in. The whole stadium was just booing the #### out of the team when they left the field at halftime. Like the loudest booing I've ever heard at any public event.
It was a preseason game.
