Interesting....I'm a Steelers fan and 95% of other Steelers fans have been great. Apparently you've never met an Eagles fan or a Dallas fan.
It's actually sad to me, and I am a die hard, born and raised philly sports fan (minus the 76ers, because the NBA is a joke)...but I have to agree for the most part. I go to maybe on eagles game a year, and it can be ugly. I truly believe that the old school fans gained the reputation for being tough fans, and now the younger generation (the kids that just now are able to drink legally) takes it to a higher level because they feel like they have to or have the right to do so because they are eagles fans.
The Flyers and Phillies fan bases are nothing like this. Last season, I sat next to a Caps fan from DC who was up visiting a friend, and he was rockin his Ovechkin jersey. I was talking to him the whole time, asking him about his experience. He told me it's been great and he never heard any crap. The whole time, he never heard a single thing from the other Flyers fans around us...even when the Caps scored. But the same can't be said for anyone walking into Philly wearing a Crosby jersey!! Haha.
