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!)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
