Poor Wittle Mets Fan Had Such A Bad Experience At Citizens Bank Park That He Couldn't Come Up With A Single Example

Any time anyone wants to garner any sympathy or engagement online, they automatically resort to shitting on Philly fans. Nevermind the fact that you have Dodgers fans launching balls at players, bloody brawls at pretty much every Rams game, and drunk assholes in stadiums all across the country. It's always Philly that gets it the most. To the point where sometimes I wish we actually lived up to our reputation.
But according to this jabroni on some radio station in New York, Philly fans lived up to everything and more as he brought himself and his family to CBP for game 2 of the Phillies vs Mets series on Sunday. It was such a horrific experience that he must have forgotten the details of what happened.
WFAN -- Evan was in attendance for the Mets’ heartbreaking loss in game two of the NLDS in Philadelphia, and he says the Philly fans were every bit as advertised.
...“They were so disgusting, and such awful human beings,” Evan said. “Imagining them celebrating a championship actually pains me.
...“I’m thinking to myself, ‘How are we gonna get out of here alive if the Mets win?’” Evan said. “I actually thought that the Phillies winning was beneficial to us getting out of there in one piece.”
...“They were everything you’d expect,” Evan said. “I’ll give Philly that. Everything that you believe they are, they are.
Disgusting, awful human beings. He wasn't sure how he was going to get out of there alive. Philly fans are everything you'd thought we'd be. And yet....not a single example of anything that actually happened. If there's one thing I know about radio guys, it's that they literally never shut the fuck up if you don't make them. These guys will talk for hours upon hours upon hours. ESPECIALLY if they have an actual story to tell. You don't think this guy would have spent an entire afternoon show talking about everything that happened to him and his family when they were in Philly if something actually happened?
Awww did the big bad Philly fans say mean things to you? Did they not hold the bathroom door open for you? Fucking grow up, Peter Pan.
It's just weird that every time someone plays against a Philly team, the story is always about the fans. Like they don't even show up to watch the game, but just to see what type of reaction they're going to get from the crowd. It's really weird behavior. Which I guess I shouldn't be surprised about coming from a bunch of freaks like Mets fans. But again, sometimes it's almost like they want us to actually live up to the expectations that way they actually have something to write home about.
Sidenote: I was at game 2 on Sunday. Maybe it was the fact that the Phillies didn't give the ballpark any reason to be alive until the 6th inning, but I was actually shocked at how dead CBP was before that Bryce home run. Top of the 2nd inning and 90% of my entire section was sitting down. I think the issue might be with how expensive the tickets are getting, they're pricing out the legitimate psycho Philly fans from the postseason and it's just a bunch of older people with family. I'd love to know what a Phillies postseason game would be like if tickets were all $50. Maybe then Mets fans would have legitimate concerns for their well-being. But the crowd for game 2 was borderline embarrassing for 2/3rds of that game.
