Philadelphia Flyers Fans Feed “Classless” City Reputation, Throw Bracelets Honoring Dead Owner Onto Ice
It’s getting increasingly hard to be a Philadelphia sports fan. Not only have we had to deal with teams ranging from mediocre to complete flaming bags of shit for the better part of the last decade, but we’ve had to be this laughing stock of a city all while the national media has spun a rhetoric that we’re vile, malicious beasts who revel in both masochism and the suffering of others. They act like we’re the only town that takes passion for sports a bit too far. For fuck’s sake, people get stabbed every Giants/Dodgers series and no one blinks an eye. But Philly? If we do something, it’s held against us for the rest of our miserable lives. We get it. We threw snowballs at a shoddy Santa fifty years ago. Get some new material, you hacks.
What’s that? Something happened at the Flyers game tonight?
Pregame should be crazy. There are bracelets on every seat that will light up based on location. pic.twitter.com/Tb8Dwr1cw5

Wristbands, huh? That seems like a good idea. A bunch of boozed up fans already on edge down 2-0 in the series. Really hope this game doesn’t get out of hand and people start slinging these things with no regard for mankind. Oh, these are to honor the late Ed Snider? We can be assholes from time to time, but we’re not monsters. R.I.P. Eddy. Let’s hold a moment of silence for you, my man.
So this was the moment of silence @NHLFlyers that was ruined tonight. It was a bad night all around pic.twitter.com/XLO0Vq4ofV

Sweet baby Jesus. Have some damn respect you jabronis. That…that was not a good look. But it can’t get worse than that, right?
Now Lou Nolan is downright pissed. STOP THROWING BRACELETS!!!! pic.twitter.com/zkxrnNgdPM

We’ve done it now, guys. Not only did we just piss all over Ed Snider’s grave and give the national media another 100 years of material to fuel the “terrible fans” rhetoric, but we broke P.A. announcer, Lou Nolan. He’s so defeated. So heartbroken. You assholes might have just put poor, sweet, old Louie into the ground as well. This is officially rock bottom..
This is your city, Dan Regester. I hope you’re happy.

9 years ago at 11:10 amAs a lifelong Philly fan, I’ve heard people piss and moan about how crappy the fans are. All I’ve ever heard is Santa this and Irvin that and after all these years without (colossal) incident, now we have these jabronis throwing Ed Snider’s tribute bracelets onto the ice when the Flyers are playing like they’re on muscle relaxers and NyQuil. Football season cannot get here fast enough.
