Only In Philly

Not sure how this dad controlled himself but this is sick.

Boorish fan intentionally vomits on cop's kid | Philadelphia Daily News | 04/16/2010

I read that earlier (hence my new sig) and I was pretty F'ing grossed out, which is saying something. I would have killed that fat piece of garbage!

Par for the course in Philly. I'm honestly not shocked by it (happening there).

LOL

Whenever a Philly Fans Are Pieces of Shit thread pops up around here I like to try to find a way to defend this place, because it is my home after all.

But this is indefensible. This dude's just a piece of dirt, and gives the rest of us a really bad name.

I tell you what, I'm with firstdown. If he threw up on my daughter there's a very good chance I'd be the one in jail.

Seriously though, Philly fans have a bad rep. Some probably deserved...some not. This piece of trash can hardly be considered representative of the whole.
There is nothing wrong with this guy that an ASS session out in the parking lot won't cure?

Yeah. The thing is, 98% of people going to the ballpark here in Philly just want to have a good time. The good stories get overshadowed by things like this. Remember last year when the Dad caught a foul ball, gave it to his two year old girl, and she threw it over the balcony? He hugged her and it was an aw that's sweet moment. But that kind of positive rep doesn't stick in the minds of the rest of the country.

It's the small percentage of morons, who are uneducated, come to get loaded, and do stupid things. They ruin it for the rest of us. I love the Phillies and love going to games, but if someone sitting near me is wasted and yelling obscenities, it really puts a damper on the experience.

I think there's something to Philly's bad rap, personally. It's true that Philadelphia has more morons than most cities. The stadium is located in South Philadelphia where there's a big macho, fighting mentality amongst the indigenous population. I don't mean to offend anyone by this, but Philly is also a blue collar town. That means you've got a higher % of uneducated people, and while not every blue collar person is an uneducated asshole, the % of assholes amongst the blue collar population is much higher than it is amongst the white collar population.

So Philly is indeed more likely to have morons at the games than cities like Washington DC. Philly's also not alone; Boston and New York get their share of idiots as well.

So I do understand where Philly gets the bad rap, it's accurate in some ways. But what sucks is when I get lumped in with these moron fans. I'm smart, educated, civil, well-behaved at games, and I just want to go and see my team play. No way do I want some idiot sitting near me who's going to yell obscenities and get blasted. I just want to enjoy the game.

And most people in the stadium are like me. That's why the idiot who barfed on the girl got punched in the face by a bystander. Most Philly fans are just like anyone else, just out to have a good time at the ballpark. It's the morons that ruin it for the rest of us, and unfortunately Philly has plenty of them.

Damn, lot of control showed by that cop. I would've swung back on him.

According to the article, the guy started wrestling with the police who were arresting him and other fans intervened on behalf of the father. It may have been one of them that gave the guy a shiner.

The Dad's comment was that he was concerned that he would be arrested and then his 15 and 11 year old daughters would be alone at the game. <Whew> the man deserves an award for his forthought and restraint.

Either that or he knows that the Philly Cops are just as bad and they would actually leave the kids behind.
