A Temple University student died from his injuries after falling from a light pole as Philadelphia Eagles fans celebrated the team’s Super Bowl berth over the weekend, a source confirmed with NBC10.
The school announced that first-year student Tyler Sabapathy had died on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, after suffering “critical injuries” over the weekend.
Sabapathy was a native of Toronto, Canada, and a student at Temple’s College of Public Health, where he was majoring in exercise and sports science, the school said. Sabapathy was also a gymnast who won more than 120 medals in various regional and international competitions.

“Fly, Eagles, flyyyyaaaasggggghhhh!”
What about the Russian judge?
In honor of his memory, the Mayor of Philadelphia will award a scholarship to the first Philadelphian who can correctly spell “Eagles”.
MAYBE SHE CAN PAY ANY LAWSUIT OUT OF HER FUNDS.
University students do stupid stunts. Our university near here lad a male student fall to his death when he was climbing from one floor to another outside the windows.
He was not even a Philly boy. Canadian invader (although was probably paying full freight at Temple.
The fingernail marks on the pole had an ever-increasing distance between then. Much more exciting than that dumb paper tape buzzer.

Falling from a light pole
The second you gave up what will be your last voluntary act.
“he was majoring in exercise and sports science”
Well, here’s the problem. Anyone stupid enough to major in exercise and sports science, ain’t too frigging smart.
Do they teach E = mgh = 1/2 m v^2 in sports science?
Most Philadelphia fans are not morons and degenerates. The typical celebrations brings out the drunk and stupid like every other city. Pole climbing is nothing new and is strictly prohibited. When the ghetto mayor of Philadelphia can’t pronounce nor spell EAGLES, that is the problem to start.
He was from Canada.
We beat your a- s good I’m 2008. Stay salty
🤣
That means he was extra retarded.
You are supposed to land on your feet, not your head.
Seriously?? That was 40-some years ago — and “Santa” was some drunk they pulled out of the stands when the hired Santa didn’t show up.
I haven’t read or heard of any looting or fire-setting during the celebration — just a bunch of people having a grand old time, it’s a tradition to meet at certain corners and sing, chant (hopefully spelling Eagles correctly) & perhaps consume some adult beverages. It’s very sad that this young man made a bad decision, likely under the influence, very sad.
I have a friend who majored in Kinesiology and is making a LOT of money as a trainer.
