Eagles Fans Should Be Ashamed

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.

Danny Boy has himself one of the least accessible stadiums in pro-sports. Way out in the sticks, no metro access, shitty parking, and MISERABLE pre and post game traffic. After yet another pathetic second half collapse, I don't know that I would have stayed unitl the clock hit 0:00 yesterday had I been there. And that's saying a lot b/c I'm not one to ever leave games early. That's the second time we've let a division rival embarass us like that in our house in the second half.

As far as the respectful Eagles fans in front of you, I'm glad to hear there are a few out there. Clearly an aberration though. The vast majority of their fans are championship-starved, mouthy, agressive a-holes.
