I've worn my Pirates' gear in the home stadiums of many hated rivals including St. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago and never felt the least bit unsafe. In NYC, on the Lex up to Pelham to the South Bronx and on many trips over to Flushing I have never felt anything but goodwill from Yanks and [much more often] Mets' fans. Not so -- EVER -- in Filthydelphia, and I've been going to games there since Connie Mac Stadium.
Philadelphia's legendary lack of sportsmanship is no myth. They're the worst fans in the country. Period. No other team that I know of has ever installed a District Magistrate and a jail in their facility. Do you know of one?
Western PA hates Eastern PA for a reason. Philly should be called West Camden, and annexed to "The Garden State." They'd be much more at home there.
That depends on whom you talk to. Many around here say Camden should be part of Philly, PA.
I've always lived either around or in Philly. Outside Camden, South Jersey is very rural, and the people are laid-back and friendly. There are some crime-ridden areas, but they make up a very small part of it.
