Philadelphia fans "Are we joke?"

Fans of the Eagles and Phillies, in particular, consistently ranked as the worst sports fans in the country. In addition to booing their own players, Philadelphia fans have committed infractions such as intentionally vomiting on an 11-year-old girl, cheering for Michael Irvin’s gruesome career-ending injury, and general rabblerousery. “I would hate us too,” said Philadelphia native Sean McHugh ’25. “[We have] multiple fights, multiple obscene gestures, but it just shows how passionate everyone here is for their teams.”

Booed Santa Claus.

Things got so bad at the Vet that a jail and courtroom were installed in the bowels of the stadium to handle unruly fans. Last year a Phillies fan tossed the cell phone of a Mets supporter out of the left-field seats. GQ once rated the Phillies and Eagles as having the first and second worst fan bases in America, respectively.

The Flyers fan might have been thinking that the Leafs’ supporters were taunting the home team, but that does not excuse what he did next. He hopped over several rows of seats to confront the visiting fans and ended up punching the two male fans before their female friend eventually tried to break things up.

Booing "Santa Clause", who was actually a drunk they found at the last minute happened in the 1960s.

The only reason Philly fans are the "worst" is the rest of the country needs a scapegoat to ignore their own shitty fans.

In fact yes, they are a complete joke.
