I love Philadelphia. There couldn’t be a better city for me to have grown up in and attend college in. I plan on living here for most of my life. Out of everything there is to do in the City of Brotherly Love, the one thing I never thought I would pick up on would Philly sports. I never considered myself a sports fan. I don’t know any teams for any major league sport, I barely know any players and I definitely don’t know any rules for games.

There is one thing I do know, I am a Philly fan no matter what the record is. On Oct. 31, 2008, I skipped school to attend the Phillies world series championship parade. I watched the Eagles in the super bowl on my TV and I’ve been to about one or two Flyers games in my life. I am not a sports fan, but I am a fan of Philadelphia.

This may seem as if I am a bandwagon fan who only decided to like Philly teams when they are doing well, and while I only know if they are doing well because my Dunkin' Donuts app lets me know I get free coffee when the Eagles win, I truly am a fan of any Philadelphia sports team because I am loyal to my city.

There’s a stereotype that Philadelphia fans are relentless, rude, and a little bit crazy. While this is true, we are also the most devoted and the best at coming together, they don’t call us the City of Brotherly Love for nothing.

Sometimes I call myself a bandwagon fan, where I only declare myself a true Philly fan once a team of winning, but recently, no matter how any of our teams do (which is not too well), I know that I will always rep Philly.

I may not know everything there is know about each sport, and I rarely watch them on TV or even go to the games, but being a fan in Philly is its own culture in itself and I am proud to say I’m a Philadelphia fan.
