Name a city that has had a team in the 4 big leagues for the past 25 years that has not one a chmpionship for 25 years.

Name one.

All 4 sports for each of the last 25 years. Name one! We have a right to be bitter.

And Mets fans should all die slowly.

Only one team can win the title, remember that

Not only does it take a talented team to win a championship but also a lot of luck

example: 2007 NY Giants,
2004 Boston Red Sox

I could also add that the last two championship games/series we lost (Eagles 2005 and Sixers 2000: dates probably wrong) were the championship games/series when a dynasty was crowned.

This sucks.

This is also why I hate the Patriots and Lakers beyond almost any other opponent (except the Cowboys).

Montreal fans turned over a car. So what? Three Eagles fans shot a cop. Last year Eagles fans murdered 400 people. Who has the worst fans?

Reaching a little there? Yes, those people are the same ones at the game...

Your sister does not like you the way you like her. You must let go of your anger.

No I am not reaching.

I think you are reaching if you think none of the people that cause problems in the city attend the games. The reality is that the fans who attend the games are a fair representation of the city as a whole. The Phillies alone draw 3 million fans. The Eagles .5 mill. Flyers .8 mill. The 76ers .5 mil.

It is just simple math + demographics + crime states = Philadelphia has bad fans.

Who do you think committed the 400 murders in Philadelphia last year? It sure wasn't Montreal Canadians fans.

This is pure genius Professor Zete.

If you can document the correlation between sports fans and the murder rate, you're a shoe-in for a Nobel Prize.
