Ha! You’re talking about the city (Philly) that once booed Santa Claus at the Phillies game. They are notoriously known for their negative sports fans against their own teams.

That was the Vikings-Eagles game in ‘68.

Santa Claus was actually an Eagles fan from the stadium, because Santa was a no show.

The Vikings would have never made it to the stadium in time for the game if it wasn’t for my frat brother who told the stupid bus driver where Franklin Field was.

Bud Grant (Vikings loser coach) had a habit of showing up late.

Anyone else remember Tie Domi beating the sh*t out of an inebriated Flyers fan in the penalty box? That, and Felix Potvin busting open Ron Hextall’s forehead while feeding him haymakers, are the proudest moments in Leafs Nation history since May 2, 1967.

You think that's bad: I was driving through a very bad, and very black section of Philly about a month ago, and noticed a big Obama sign--with a van dyke and mustache plastered on the Messiah's face. No one seemed to care.

It's also a city and team that was most hateful towards Jackie Robinson in his rookie year.

turn in your brain at once, 'cause you're not using it. that meme is about 20 times as old as "just a guy who lives in my neighborhood"...

They booed Santa at an Eagles game almost over 40 years ago. Have you ever read about the idiots that come down to watch Mets or Red Sox play in Philly. They are tough if they feel that the players are not giving their best. It is a rep. that the media likes to keep alive year after year. As a resident of the area I can tell you that the myth is far from the reality.

Any Northeastern city sporting event that she would attended would have brought the same results. McCain is surrounded by idiots. His advisors are the dumbest and most inept I have ever seen. Only God can intervene to save us from Obama.
