true, although perpetuates the stereotype of Philly fans behaving badly. Yes, there are some fans that behave badly and in an unacceptable way. But there are bad fans in every city. The idea that Philly fans are particularly bad is overblown.

As for throwing snowballs at Santa:

  1. it was in 1968, 50 years ago

  2. the Eagles were having a bad season

  3. just when it looked like the Eagles would get a high draft pick and maybe improve, they started winning and and their draft prospects dropped. So they have a bad team and no high draft pick. A frustrating situation.

  4. The guy that was supposed to play Santa that day was a no-show. They pulled some guy out of the stands that was dressed as Santa. Only his costume was terrible.

put a lousy season without good draft prospects together with a lousy looking Santa and a lot of angry fans and you get people throwing snowballs at Santa.

I thought the thread might actually be a discussion, but it’s mostly people getting mad and repeating meme talking points. And its also quite one-sided–it’s the side I agree with so that’s nice for me but not much of a discussion lol.

You’ve obviously not read the entire thread yet.

I’d like to know what expectations you have.

I desparately hoped there would be:
-no namecalling
-no projecting
-no generalizations

You say that and then you post this:

Scrolling through this and…Lol, I have never seen such a shallow, circle jerk thread.

this could be considered naming calling and making generalizations.

But I expected to find all of this, and I did. So I won’t be participating in this thread.

Considering what we’ve seen of you so far, that just might be a good thing.

Ok, let them eat cake.

That is not what I said, and I don’t appreciate it. Besides, we are talking about those convicted of crimes(some of them real bad ones), the woman that coined that phrase was talking about citizens in poverty.

It was just a joke, lighten up.

Sometimes it hard to tell when you are just joking and when you are making a serious point via humor/sarcasm.
