Phillies Fans vs. Eagles Fans

Johnny Goodtimes of iSportacus has an interesting take on the Citizen's Bank Park beating death this weekend- that Phillies games are being invaded by... drunken, scary Eagles fans:

I did notice something change when the Phils went on their run last year in the playoffs. I remember being in McFadden’s after a game last September thinking, “Who in the hell are these people?” They did not look like the kind of people that normally attended Phils games. They looked more like Mets fans, with lots of jean shorts and wife beaters, and they seemed way more drunk than baseball fans tend to get, with that angry, blank, drunken stare that, even though I work in bars, never fails to make me a bit nervous. Were the drunken zombies who for so many years bled Eagle green now on the Phillies bandwagon, and determined to turn Citizen’s Bank Park into Thunderdome? Impossible to say, quantifiably. But it sure seemed that way. And the Phillies didn’t seem to mind, continuing to hold Dollar Dog Nights long after it became apparent that they were little more than an excuse for young people to get trashed beyond belief and hold the rest of the fans hostage with their obnoxious antics.  
Between the murder and a bunch of idiots imitating high school students from 1997 by shooting laser pointers at Cardinals players, not the best weekend for the reputation of Philadelphia sports fans. Even Mike Missanelli, who usually treats any anti-Philly fan sentiment like it's a hate crime, said on the air today that he was embarrassed and couldn't defend Philly today.

Still, a bachelor party at the ballpark ending in murder is pretty damn scary- I mean, I had my bachelor party at Citizen's Bank Park too.

Yeah, but the guy we killed was at the cigar bar.
