If it was contest between the two, New York would be nicer

It has nice areas, tourist areas, safe, clean (for a city). I lived in Astoria Queens for a short period of time, middle class neighborhood, safe, clean, not a bad place. DeBlasio is a giant @$$. But I repeat myself.

Philly is a giant sh!thole, it is disgusting, even the tourist areas are giant sh!tholes and the bad areas are war zones. Nothing good about Philly. Bums and homeless are everywhere. Trash everywhere. I hate that city.

And anyone wearing the other team’s gear was taking their lives in their hands.

I’ve been there so I know.

>>seriously did you read my post? Your support of NFL football is insulting to me since I have war dead and injured in my family. But enjoy your game.<<

FACTS:

In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take it off.

In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.

In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said “Know Jesus Know Peace” but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing “Find the Cure” eye black for breast cancer awareness.

In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem...).

In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.

In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression, all of a sudden...

It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any issue: For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily for being cops, for the Memory of 9/11...

But, they will allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America, and for the American People, if it will help mollify a particular Group and its supporters (such as BLM, and other leftists)

That is who and what the NFL has shown itself to be.

I grew up in a clean California suburb and had never seen a filthy big city until I saw Philly on a high school tour. What a shock that was! LOL.

Please relax. Take it in context. Don’t be insulted so easily. I have no dog in this race. We are in this together.

“They are feral animals in their sports fanaticism”

It has nothing to do with their sports fanaticism, they are just feral animals.

ROFL...

Was talking to a guy once, found out he was from Philly and a football fan. I said, "Oh yeah, you're the guys who boo Santa Claus."

His response? "He deserved it!"
