A.J. Daulerio of Deadspin, on Philadelphia fans' continued booing of J.D. Drew:
Regardless of the truth, the booing of J.D. Drew will continue because he has become the embodiment of Philadelphia's frustration, shame, and title-lessness. It's more symbolic than anything else, but it's also become tiresome. All it does is give more ammunition for all of the out-of-town writers to bring up snowballing Santa Claus, batery throwing, and other isolated incidents of wretchedness that have made Philadelphia trogolydytic fan capital of the United States. It'd be nice if they actually proved them wrong.It's funny that the same people who still boo Drew 11 years later are the ones who get mad at Donovan McNabb for still "holding a grudge" about being booed at the draft.
