Philly fans - RALest in North America

As you can probably tell we at ikeepsitral we appreciate sports in a major way, one could even say that we are sports fans to the furthest extent. And seeing how this is the best time of year to be a sports fan, March Madness, end of NHL and NBA seasons, MLB starting up, WBC, we thought we'd tribute those that makes sports what they are....the fans!



Your shit is weak...

Some fans cheer for casually one team, others drift year to year and some of us live and die by the performances of their teams. This couldn't be more true then fans from Philadelphia. Philly fans are incredibly involved in all of their teams, selling out stadiums (supporting 4 franchises with a population of 1.4 million), purchasing merchandise and being known as some of the most vocal fans of all time.

They cheered when Michael Irvin had to be carried off in a stretcher due to a broken neck, they booed Santa, threw snowballs at children performing at half time, throw batteries at the opposition and most importantly boo their own teams when they aren't performing up to their standards. During one lull in their teams performances the citizens of Philadelphia sarcastically voted 'Rocky' as the best athlete in the history of the city...when he wasn't on the ballot, he had to be written in. It was widely known that Allen Iverson was the only player they wouldn't boo, until he was traded and is now booed mercilessly whenever he touches the ball. So for knowing what they want every year out of their teams (a championship) and voicing their displeasure when they don't receive, they achieve the status as RALest fans in North America.


Cheering erupted throughout the stadium with hopes Irvin wouldn't walk again

Oh yeah and they throw bottles as well...



Crack a bottle, let your body waddle...
