Trouble for Giants fans in Philly
Giants fans get punched and abused in Philly. No wonder they actually like Brian Dawkins, that less than human crapbag.
Posted by James Trotta at October 4, 2006 3:45 AMA friend has Eagles season tickets, and I have been fortunate enough to attend as many as six games with him each year for the past seven seasons, going back to the Vet.
When the Redskins play, I only wear my hat, no jersey, no jacket, in fear. I've been pushed around, been doused with beer, and in tight games, when the opposing team is driving, certain fans down in that section stand up and start bird-dogging fans of the other team. I've never seen an actual beatdown (the only fights I've ever seen are between drunken Eagles fans), but it is as though they are spying the ones they wanted to target, just in case.
Even when the Redskins aren't playing, it's still a risk to wear my gear in.
