What is it with Philadelphia? I was watching this game, which was delayed for 10 minutes after some idiot was trying to shine a laser into the St. Louis batters eyes.

Between the Eagles, Flyers and Phillies fans, they make the city look bad.

We must have a new law everytime our leaders see some new twist on criminal behavior.

Crap. I was hoping the brawl involved Sgt. Crowley and "Professor" Gates.

Note to DHS lurker: Please notice I did not include that other guy. The non-American.

anarchy rears it's ugly head.. during the past 6 months, I have felt and seen more rage and hopelessness in people than I have seen in my life.

obamanation is working for him...Freedom in America is fleeing... now we have to pass a new law everytime someone does something that years ago, would not have happened nor been allowed.

Wasn’t there already a law against beating people to death? I guess since that didn’t work we have to pass another law, eh?

I'm on your side. My complaint is the attitude of Philly sports fans (and I grew up in Boston, not the most stable sports environment.)

The commissioner is a moron.

People have been getting into bar fights since bars were invented. Millions of people have got involved in bar fights and few have been killed. It goes with the territory where alcohol is served to the public.

Making it automatically a crime is absurd, just because a single individual was unfortunately killed.

Self-control, brothers (and sisters). Not new laws.

I once had beer poured onto my head by a fan of a certain football team that shall remain nameless in order to avoid flame wars. Part of me wanted to deck the guy, but I refrained from doing so, even though I probably could have kicked his ass.

Well, holy cow! I agree. We must have a law requiring bars to report fights that result in deaths caused by a spilled beer. The killer should be required to buy the bar a round and swab the spilled guts off the floor. And don’t eat the grapes rolling around the floor, them’s gouged out eyeballs.

I’m sorry for saying this, but the thought of Gates getting beaten up is bringing a smile to my face.

From my experience, three guesses:

Eagles

Raiders

Browns

Speaking only on my own personal experiences, Philly fans are horrible. The worst I've ever encountered. Remember, this is the city that booed Mike Schmidt and Santa Claus, and voted 400 times for 0bama in one precinct before the polls ever opened.

The ‘City of Brotherly Love’ is anything but. They are an angry lot, who acts like idiots whether they win on lose.

Agreed. I wore a Bruins jersey to a game at the Spectrum in 1981. I survived, with spit all over me.

there was a stabbing death at Angel stadium at their home opener it seems to me there was another death after another game but it was i believe at San Diego's. and at the dodger stadium there was shooting when a off duty police officer found two guys vandalizing his car after the game one or both of those perps assumed room temperature. to much drinking and the mentality of some fans are going to ruin it for everyone
