Of course that is natural when you come to enemy turf, but when the Skins' fans started leaving with 2 minutes left and within one score of tying the game, it proved that Skins' fans have no heart while Eagles' fans stuck it out the entire game. Why do Skins' fans leave early like that? Do we really care more about getting home than cheering our team on and possibly seeing overtime? I'm ashamed.

AMEN to that, 2/3rds of the satdium emptied out when there was 2:16 left on the clock and we had the ball in a one possession game . . . i was down right embarrassed to be associated with people like that . .
eagles fans didnt seem to obnoxious, there was 3 eagles fans sitting a few rows behind me and one was jawwing it up with a skins fan, eagles fan started to do the "after the game im gonna ..." stuff, i made eye contact with the skins fan's girl and she seemed scared so i turned around and said to this 20 something year old long haired eagles fan "yo an 80's metal band called and they want their hairstyle back!" . . . i thought it was funny and helped deflate some of the animosity that was building up and to let the skins fan's girl know that it wasnt going to be a 3 on1 if it came down to blows . . .
go skins!
