5 Reasons You Wish You Were A Philly Sports Fan

We may be crazy, but we are the best kind of crazy.

In the city of Brotherly Love, we share an entirely new level of passion for our teams, and there's nothing else quite like it.

We root for them whether they are having the absolute worst season ever, or killing it and slaying every other team in the league. We may be crazy, but we are the best kind of crazy.

It is truly something special to see an entire city coming together all because of one team. Here are 5 reasons why you wish you were a Philly fan!

1. We're CHAMPS, baby!!!

Our athletes have an unbelievable amount of heart and drive to want to succeed and win. This year we were able to bring home the SuperBowl and be on top!

Win or lose, Philly is ALWAYS number one in our hearts, and this year we're lucky enough to be able to show the rest of the world just how strong our pride is and just how strong-willed our athletes are.

2. Our celebrations are bigger than any party you will ever go to.

When we win a big game, we go wild. Wild, like we make the front page of the newspaper and the six o'clock news for DAYS, wild.

Millions of people flooding the streets, climbing light posts, setting off fireworks, and riding on the tops of police cars. Experiencing a win in Philadelphia is something unlike anything else you will ever encounter.

3. We thrive on being the "underdog".

Say what you want and put us down, but we will keep our heads high and prove you wrong.

Forever being known as the team who "probably won't win" only drives us more to want it. We love the competition and we never back down from a challenge.

4. We have the most passionate fan base.

We travel in packs; wherever our team goes, we go with them. They are never left high and dry.

We are always giving them that sense of home when they look up into the stands and see the endless sea of green, orange, or red, depending on the sport. We want to be there every step of the way cheering on our team and supporting them, no matter if the game is home or away.

5. We are loyal.

When Philly is having a tough season or a rough few years, we never drop them or pick a new team. We. Are. Loyal.

We believe in them and ONLY in them. This is something so unique, and it is the reason why the fans are the way we are. We win together, we lose together, and we single-handedly know how to unite an entire city.


Regardless of where you live, each and every person has their team and who they grew up rooting for. But, if you're lucky enough, you'll be raised to embrace that brotherly love and have the great opportunity of being a Philly fan (a.k.a. the best type of fan there is!)

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
