........The Alaska governor and self-described “hockey mom” heard a few boos when she walked onto the ice, but that soon turned to polite applause as she headed to center ice.......

As opposed to politico, This AP article suggests not a bad reaction at all

Sorry chet99, a different but similar take i guess. Didnt mean to be redundant there

no problem. this forum is just plain nuts at times... one story that is negative quickly gets over one hundred responses, many angry and highly critical comments of the McCain campaign.. this article gets barely any response.

it is like the poll threads here. hundreds of hysterical responses to a bad poll, but when a good poll is released, you can hear the crickets chirping.

weird.

There was already an earlier thread about this

I’m shocked that she only hear a “few boos”. I was expecting much more since Philly sport fans are notorious for being a**holes.

I know this. I live in Pittsburgh and have been to Philly on numerous occasions.

(note to Philly FReepers: Love the city but hate a lot of the sports fans there)

I swear some people do not even read the articles. It is pathetic.

With the election, and the stock market. Everyone is so on edge.

I'm usually pretty even handed when it comes to Pennsylvania's two main towns. One day on a trip in winter I almost got robbed by street thugs in an entrance to the underground train system. On the same day I went to Pittsburgh. As I stepped into my hotel room I detected a guy running down the hall toward me, so I slipped in fast and locked the door ~ just in time as he smacked into it.

Called the cops and reported it as an attempted assault. Found out it was a standard ploy for robbing hotel guests ~

So, both towns, one day, two robbery attempts. Both in the daytime. From then on I visited at night.

Philly "sports fans". Whoa, my bad .... Here I'd been thinking that Philadelphia just had a very progressive furlough program.

I HATE Philadelphia. It is a toilet in need of a flush. I live in Bucks County PA a Philly suburb.

How many cities needed jail cells and a judge at the stadium just to speed up the process?

It was worth it just for the picture of Piper in a Flyers jersey:

THAT image will look good in the PRINT media -- regardless of how many boos there were, versus cheers and applause. :o)

I told my husband the other night that I hope our future children are just like Piper. That child is a doll and she has spunk too!!Thanks for the great picture.
