Name This City

10
Vote

by user MetsJetsDevils

In honor of today's most annoying and prematurely boastful fans. Name the following city.

This cities fans once:

--booed Santa Claus and pelted him with snow

--Cheered for 20 minutes when Michael Irvin lay motionless on the field after suffering a career ending neck injury.

--Made Destiny's Child run of the court crying after booing them mercilessly for wearing the oppossing teams Jersey in a league sponsored pre-game show.

-- Almost had to forfeit a game when fans pelted JD Drew with batteries

-- attacked the Washington Redskins mascot and the Redskins famed "hogettes" cheering section

This City:

-- has so many drunken derilect fans that they had to build a jail in the stadium to deal with drunken hooligans during football games.

-- was called by the "founder" of free agency, Curt Flood, the most racist city in America.

--has gone 24 years (and counting) without winning a championship in any major sport.

-- In fact, this city is the only city with a team in all 4 major sports that hasn't won a championship in any of the sports in the last 24 years.

-- was once rated the fattest city in America compelling the Mayor to insist that the entire city go on a diet.

We all know that it is Philly. That said, get read for the Irvine and santa excuses.

You also forgot the best sports point.

The greatest sports hero in Philadelphia history? He's FICTITIOUS! (Yes I mean Rocky)

don't forget hope of the cheesesteak, tastykakes and scrapple.

A lawyer once led a gang of fans at Vet's stadium to start a snowball pelting on the NY Giants. That lawyer later becasme mayor of Philly and GOVERNOR of PA

The stadium has a judge

The sports complex parking lot has probably had more assaults than anywhere else in town.

HOW DARE YOU DENY THE PHILADELPHIA STARS THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

It counted, dammit! It counted!@!!

Why is this an article...sorry the mets lost 9 out of the last 11...should i have made an article about why New York sucks at the beginning of the season?

I hate when people bring this crap up...

I'm just going to enjoy the phils recent success for what its worth and get ready for eagles season soon enough...you can go sulk in whatever annoyance it is and i'll be sure to berate New York when the mets start winning again...

Oh, I'm not saying New York isn't a great city...don't get me wrong...but ignorant articles like the one above just scream "I'm a sore loser who can't take it" I've been a philly fan all my life, I've taken it all...so when your team starts losing just deal with it... Yeah, I'm trying to think of an angle that would make it more appearling that the typical why NY is great...something that makes it worth more reading that saying crap like yeah, the yankees are good, etc...

OK, and best of all

--booed Santa Clause and pelted him with snow He was a terrible Santa and deserved it, seriously read about it sometime and you'll understand

--Cheered for 20 minutes when Michael Irvin lay motionless on the field after suffering a career ending neck injury. deserved it...and watch him on ESPN...wait...well the proof is in the pudding

--Made Destiny's Child run of the court crying after booing them mercilessly for wearing the oppossing teams Jersey in a league sponsored pre-game show. Deserved it, don't wear the other teams jersey...duh!

-- Almost had to forfeit a game when fans pelted JD Drew with batteries Screwed us over...deserved it

-- attacked the Washington Redskins mascot and the Redskins famed "hogettes" cheering section ok, you're cheering section consists of dudes who dress up like female pigs...

And with that last one, I rest my case...

My Responses:

Santa was throwing out candy to folks in the stands. Sadly, his thorws didn't reach the stand. That Santa is related to Eli Manning.


I was at that Irvin game. No, I did not cheer. I did think to myself - "He deserved it."

Destiny Child sucks. Her singing deserves to be booed. The fact that she had on an opponent's jersey just added icing to the cake.

D Batteries were sold out for a week prior to that game.

I was at this Redskin game as well. :)

I have visited the jail at the old Vet.  :)

there are cities far more racist than Philly. Though, most of them are in the NE part of the country.

If you are going to troll. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. IT has been 24 years, not 23.

Actually, before you accuse people of trolling, maybe you should learn how to count. Unless of course you have already counted the Phailures out for the 2007 season. Because until the 2007 season ends without a Philadelphia championship, it will only be 23 years. Once the Phailures fail to win the World Series, then it will be 24 years. I know its not your fault, they donb't teach basic math in Philadelphia.

Oh come on, only two stadiums in MLB are named after beer companies: Miller Park and Busch Stadium. If that doesn't conjure some drunken images I don't know what does.

"Almost had to forfeit a game when fans pelted JD Drew with batteries" I love baseball fans, they'd throw the bobbleheads if that was the only heavy object nearby in a time of crisis.
