Why are Eagles fans so notorious? A look into Philadelphia's rabid fan base after latest foul-mouthed incident
Share:
Philadelphia sports fans have become well-known for being rowdy and passionate about their favorite teams. The Eagles fandom in particular has a vocal nature with many iterations of controversial behaviors. The antics of Eagles fans are under a heavy spotlight again after one of their own verbally abused a female Packers supporter, leading to an investigation by his employers, who branded his comments 'completely unacceptable'.
The foul-mouthed rant, which has gone viral in recent days and also led to the team issuing a stadium ban, took place at Lincoln Financial Field as the Eagles cruised to a 22-10 win over the Packers in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. At one point, Eagles fan Ryan Caldwell, who works for a DEI-focused management consulting firm in East Brunswick, New Jersey, refers to the woman as an 'ugly, dumb c***'. That sparks a confrontation with her fiance, who is filming the incident.
Philadelphia will host at least one more game at The Linc this season, with the Rams in town today for the Divisional round, and fans have once again flown across the country to support the road team. It will no doubt be a raucous atmosphere, and potentially a difficult one for those in the yellow and blue of LA. Here, we take a look at why...
