Why do so many people hate the Eagles? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Elizabeth Smith · 10-25-2003, 12:21 AM

I'm just wondering why people dislike the Eagles....I'm from Philly so I bleed green, but why do other NFL fans trash us and hope for us to lose?

Mr. Television · 10-25-2003, 12:56 AM

Well I'm a Cowboy fan. Do I need to say more?

Don't take it personally. A lot of people hate my team.

Eddie Haskell · 10-25-2003, 06:00 AM

Underachievers and whiny pompous a-holes.

Brian Damage · 10-25-2003, 12:16 PM

I'm a Giants fan, so it's only natural.

Janice · 10-25-2003, 01:15 PM

What, do you want fans from other cities to love the Eagles? What planet do you reside? It's a basic concept, people usually root for their home team.

I'm sure the Eagles have enough fans in the tri-state area that love them to compensate for the ones who don't.

You want the world to love your team? Not gonna happen anytime soon.

The Eagles are a FRAUD-LOL

Brian Damage · 10-25-2003, 03:36 PM

I think the Jets have got a legitimate shot at beating them this Sunday.

If they turn over the ball, they will win

I'm a Charger fan but they are not the best team in the NFL. They are my favorite team and I really like them. But does that mean that I should expect everybody to like them? If you expect everybody to like your favorite team, then be prepared for a hellavalot of disappointments.

I'm well aware of the "basic concept" of rooting for the home team, Ms. Janice. That means that you must be a Patriots fan. That's kinda ironic because you just got mad at me for criticizing YOUR home team on another post. Hey, the Eagles suck this year and might lose to the Jets and It's just funny that people are very happy about that. Oh well...

dlemond · 10-25-2003, 11:13 PM

Another thing nobody noted is that the Eagles are well known for having the worst fans at their home games.

For crying out loud they had to put a jail in the Vet.

Other teams have obnoxious, violent fans, but ask anyone who goes to games, the Eagle fans are the worst.

Elizabeth Smith · 10-25-2003, 11:15 PM

I agree

You make no sense whatsoever. Rooting for your home team and not liking it when someone creates a thread to call your team frauds and stole the Superbowl are two different things and not 'ironic' at all.

And who said anyone's happy that the Eagles may lose to the Jets? You sound paranoid to me.

DianeChambers87 · 10-25-2003, 11:24 PM

I thought this post was about the band...lol Sorry about that

Elizabeth Smith · 10-25-2003, 11:30 PM

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I said that they got lucky. And it is ironic that you're pissed because I want to know why people don't like my home team and you're heated because I criticize yours. It makes perfect sense
