Sarah Palin booed in Philadelphia before Flyers-Rangers game

[texas*princess]

She has pretty much helped to fuel all the "rage" behavior going on in the Rep's side at their rallies. Maybe this will serve as a wake-up call for her now that she's received a taste of her own medicine. (being boo'd and jeered at)

Definitely, especially since Philly fans hardly, if ever, boo anyone.

Please tell me that you're being sarcastic. That, or you've never been to an event in Philadelphia.

Complete and utter sarcasm. I happen to be a bit of a sports fan (again, sarcasm), so I know the reputation of Philly fans. I don't think the reality is nearly as bad as the reputation, but yeah, they've booed a few people in their day.

You know the reputation? Does that mean you have been to an event in Philly you haven't? I bet you haven't and all you really know is what you heard from the Monday Night Morons. I remember when we had Rich Kotite and the idiots sports writers around the country said Philly was being too tough on Kotite. That moron Dan Dierdorf said, "all Kotite ever does is win."
The same thing with Ray Rhodes. When Rhodes was fired the Green Bay GM Ron Wolf was quoted in SI it was the fans fault and Rhodes was a great coach. The next season the Packers hired Rhodes. Six games into the season the Packers were ready to fire Rhodes.



PS. The moral of the story, if Philly fans booed Santa then he deserved to be booed. He was probably a drunkin Billy Bob Thorton bad Santa.
The Santa incident happened in the 60's when the team was like 0-12. The Eagles then won the last two games to blow the O.J. Simpson pick.

Woah, you may want to re-read my statement, because I was saying that Philly's reputation isn't deserved. Again, I said that "I don't think the reality is nearly as bad as the reputation." Thus, I said I don't really believe the reputation (which is the perception outside of Philly); I just think their fans are no worse than fans in New York or Boston or other cities that are crazy about sports.

People say the same thing about Boston (Fenway in particular) and NY (Yankee Stadium in particular) without having ever been there or having been to a game. I've seen Yankees fans treated well in Fenway, and Sox fans treated well in Yankee Stadium.

Again, I think you misread my statement. The reputation is what it is - I was saying that it's not correct.

It's correct if you put a Penguins jersey on the statue of Rocky Balboa.

Flyers fans didn't really like that. Penguins fans kinda got their butts kicked.
