The Skins got killed 31 - 7 and the Eagles fans booed Bruce Smith at half-time when he was receiving an award. Most classless fans in professional sports."
So, let me get this right.
1. Philly fans are classless and bad because they will travel 150 miles to see their team play an away game when the "great fans" of the home team can't be bothered to buy all the tix and then use them for themselves.
2. Philly fans are classless for booing Bruce Smith?
It's not hard to paint a picture of Philly fans in such a way to convince just about anyone that they are less than wonderful sportsmen. Just remember the guy who launched a bottle rocket inside the Vet about 20 years ago across the stadium and into the upper deck on the other side of the field. Luckily, everyone was out of the area for halftime or someone would have been killed.
But the two reasons you cite here tell me:
1. Redskins fans can be VERY fickle when their team isn't doing well.
2. Philly fans are very discerning in demonstrating their contempt for one of the biggest self-promoters and selfish players in the NFL.

so let me get this right.... not only are you sticking up for philthy trash, but you for some reason think that a bottle rocket is going to kill someone?
