VIDEO: PAVEMENT TEACHES PHILLIES FAN A LESSON

phillies_fan_falling_off_cab

From the fans that brought you “guy getting hit by Grey Goose bottle and falling off of a traffic light”… comes “guy jumps on cab until it starts driving away and smacks the pavement.”

At this point, there’s no denying that Philadelphia sports fans are a consistent source of idiocy. But we can’t be as harsh this time around.  As long as they stick to making fools of themselves on YouTube rather than beatings and stabbings, we’re cool with that.  These dudes tried to show just how much they loved the Phillies by treating a red taxi cab like a trampoline. At first, it was triumphant but then it ended in shame.

It’s also most sad that only one out of three guys jumping on the cab went down. That’s what happens when you mug for the camera. Sorry, White Pants Red Shirt.

STABBING SEASON UNDERWAY IN PHILLY

NHL/

Philadelphia fans are well-known for their… fanaticism. Occasionally, that enthusiasm turns bad. That was the case this weekend when a bus ride back from a Flyers game in New Jersey became a magnet for violence.

First, a random guy in a Brodeur jersey decided to arbitrarily attack Philly fans in line for the bus. After a short scuffle, the fight was broken up by police. It seemed like that would be the end of the violence — but they hadn’t made it back to Philadelphia yet.

Upon returning to the City of Brotherly Love, the bus was greeted by brawling Flyers fans. At some point, one Flyers fan ended up stabbing another one in the stomach. An off-duty police officer was also beaten in the altercation.

The Flyers fan slash stabber was described as a white man about 6′1″ weighing 300 pounds with tattoos on his arms and across his knuckles. Sounds just about right.  You stay classy, Philadelphia!

TOUR DE FREAKS 2009

In America, fans wear hats or jerseys to support their teams. Some individuals even paint themselves to show their support. Yeah, that’s a little strange. But it’s not quite as random as the Tour de France followers. I guess most of them just want to get on TV because they don’t seem to care about disrupting the race. Obviously, there are the extremely drunk Americans who have the USA flag and want to run next to Lance. Beyond that, it seems like a bunch of nutty, wine-guzzling Euros. I can’t really set this one up any better. The pictures speak for themselves. My favorite is this “doping dude” with the strainer on his head. He looks like he could be Jack Black’s cousin and I’m surprised he doesn’t have white crap in the corners of his mouth. nc5r3vt9ha

Evidently, it isn’t enough for many Tour followers to find a place along the course and cheer on their favorite riders. No, some feel obligated to actually enter the race, especially in the mountain stages when they crowd the course and wave banners and flags in front of riders like a matador. Some even jump right in and run alongside the cycling stars.

On Sunday, Alberto Contador had to shrug one groping fan aside as he attacked a climb en route to the yellow jersey. Occasionally there are mishaps, like the time in 2003 when Lance Armstrong was charging up a mountain climb and a young fan waving a yellow souvenir bag caught Armstrong’s bars, sending him crashing to the asphalt.

PHOOLIGANS: PHILLY FANS PROVE THEY ARE THE WORST

Where to start? I guess we could mention that Philadelphia fans tried to run Donovan McNabb, Pro Bowl caliber quarterback, out of town. Before that, they threw D cell batteries at JD Drew and one fat Philly fan even tried to fight NHL enforcer Tie Domi while he sat in the penalty box. The list of disgraceful actions by the Philadelphia fanbase was extremely long even before this weekend.

These fools have managed to add two more pathetic incidents to their resume. Yesterday, a man was beaten to death outside of Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia. The same day, a jackass Phillies fan decided to shine a laser pointer onto the faces of batters Julio Lugo and Albert Pujols of the Cardinals. The frequency, severity, and lack of maturity and self-control displayed by these individuals is frightening. These are the same fans that took to the streets and started fighting each other after a World Series win. This extreme level of stupidity has earned them a new name in my book: Phooligans. You can see more details about the two incidents and videos of the “laser pointing” after the jump.
