For the first time, quite possibly ever (at least in my lifetime) these three Philly teams have made the playoffs in the same season. And since it's been, I don't know, forever since one of the hometown teams have won it all it seems to me reason to celebrate a little bit.
In a recent post on Puck It, I do agree with him and understand the rest of America's opinion on Philly fans, as many can truly be assholes-there's no doubt about it. To respond to this, I can't excuse it, but perhaps give explanation as to why their/our (By no means a die-hard fan of any team really) attitude is so poor when coming to sports: just the fact that none of our teams have been the best in so long has pent up frustration, which leaks out in bad-mouthing refs, players, and opposition in general.
Again, as human beings we should be better than this, especially when it's just a game, that we're not even playing in... But go Flyers anyway- there our closest shot at a champ for now.
