Really? Let's keep it classy, please.
We Eagles fans turn on our players when they act like idiots. See: Jason Babin. We boo because we care about our team more than any other NFL fans in the league. I'd rather be critical of my team when they don't play up to par on and/or off the field, than pretend nothing is wrong. If you screw up, you're gonna hear it. If others view that as us being terrible fans, they just don't care about their own team/city as much as we do. They don't understand what it's like to be from a gritty blue collar city always behind DC, NYC, and Boston, where we are basically one big family/community, where our teams are seen as an extension of ourselves. If they fail, we fail. It's just how it is.
Frankly, I take the criticism from the hater parade as a compliment. It shows we are passionate and live and die by our Eagles. We love them like we love our families. And we argue with them when they screw up like we do with our families, too! Don't like it? Don't watch our games!
I'm a diehard Eagles fan, and I'm damn proud it!!! (I'm also a proud Bama fan but no one up here understands that lol. Can't wait for my next trip to Bama ..)
