Getting in trouble for hating on the Eagles

[RiggoRules]

Because of the way their fans behave at games (including at FedEx), my visceral hatred and reaction to the Eagles has grown well beyond that for the Cowboys (still hate them, but just not as much as the Eagles).

So my 5 year old daughter was asking me about this at dinner last night. She says, "Daddy, do you just not like the Eagles players or the people too?"

I told her that I really didn't like their fans and she wanted to know why. I thought for a minute and came up with an answer I knew she could understand, "Well sweety, one year, at a game right before Christmas, a bunch of Eagles fans at a game beat up Santa."

My wife has come unglued at this answer. Explained it wasn't the real Santa, just someone dressed like him.

She wanted to know what happened to the guys who beat up Santa. I explained that not only did they get coal in their stockings that year, but that they had a special jail at the football stadium because Eagles fans had such bad manners they put them in.

Anyway, my wife is pretty ticked off I have explained the facts of life so effectively to my daughter.
