It's Always Great When You Get To See A Kid Learn That He Hates Philly Fans For The First Time
Everything about this video is perfect. Absolutely everything.
It's not like the Philly fan says anything too inflammatory off the bat. Just a quick "where the choppas at" while flexing the watch. So the fact that this little kid has such a visceral reaction leads me to believe this poor little fella was in hell all game long. That's an anger and hatred that was growing and growing for multiple hours. And finally it boiled to a crescendo when Reed Blankenship locked up the win for the Eagles with that interception.
All across the country, Philly fans are loathed. You'll never hear someone not from Philly lead off with saying something complimentary about Philly fans. I don't think anyone is ever taught to hate Philly fans, however. I think it's just something that naturally develops overtime if you're not from Philly. And we got a chance to see this kid's hatred towards this city develop in real time. I doubt he had any strong feelings one way or another about Philly fans before that Saints vs Eagles game kicked off. But thanks to this fan who had him in hell for 4 straight quarters, he'll hate the Eagles for the rest of his life. And as an Eagles fan, I just think there's something beautiful about that.
Even more beautiful is the fact that this dude has a 10-year-old crying in his face and still decides to hit him with a "he mad". Philly fans are always going to give everyone an equal opportunity to get shit talked. Doesn't matter if you can tie your own shoes yet or not.
