I know one thing that ICE doesn't: never fuck with anyone from Philadelphia. I learned that lesson long ago. They do not fuck around.

All I know they're known for is being racist

I imagine you heard about the MOVE bombing once and assumed most Philadelphia residents supported and still support it.

Look up a racial demographic survey for Philadelphia sometime.

That is indeed only your imagination, I hear people mention how racist they still are.
And that's a feat in a generally racist shithole.

Look up a racial demographic survey for Philadelphia sometime.

The fact that there is more or less diversity in a place says nothing about how racist they are.
That is a ridiculous argument.

The former Philadelphia eagles stadium had a jail in it because fans would get so drunk and rowdy. They have to grease the light poles when the eagles win a super bowl to prevent people from climbing them. Eagles fans put batteries into snowballs and threw them at Santa during the Christmas parade. Don't ever fuck with anyone from Philly.

IDC about your silly gay rugby or their teams.
Bring them to any country that has real football ⚽ and let them fight hooligans.
They will get absolutely butchered.
americans have a big mouth but they suck at fighting
