The NHL's Winter Classic game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia was supposed to be a tame event just to watch some outdoor hockey. Unfortunately, fans of a Philadelphia sports team once again prove why they are some of the most hated and most feared fans in the country. Being feared is not a compliment by any means! If you ask anyone in this country, who is a sports fan, what city would you not want to see a sporting event in, I can bet that nine times out of ten, the answer will be Philadelphia. I've been to a few games in Philly already, but I am smart enough not to wear paraphernalia from the teams that I actually like because I'd rather not get hassled by a dumb and drunk Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers fan. I'd have to say that the Flyers-Eagles fans are most brutal!
Anyway, last week at the Winter Classic, a group of Flyers fans brutally beat a New Jersey cop and his son, who were dressed in Rangers garb, right outside the famous Geno's Steaks. Three bullies clad in Flyers jerseys sucker-punched the off-duty Woodbridge, NJ police officer. before pummeling him and his son after they fell on the ground outside the legendary cheesesteak shop. The Woodbridge officer was identified as Neal Auricchio, a former Marine. The assault happened shortly after the New York Rangers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in this year's NHL Winter Classic. Auricchio and his son were hospitalized and stitched up to close their wounds. Didn't we learn our lesson with San Francisco Giants fan Brian Stow, who was beaten up by a group of Dodgers fans? Seriously, these are just a sports that none of us play and are just fans of. Nobody should be beating someone else up over it. It's plain ridiculous!
The Flyers fans might've gotten away with the beatings until the cops caught a break this Wednesday when one of the knuckleheads, Edward Neary, posted on the Broad Street Hockey Blog's Facebook page, where he confessed and bragged: "It was me and my friends, doing something about it. How dumb do I like knocking someone out? I'm pretty they look dumb eatin' concrete!" What an idiot! It just goes to prove that in Philly, they're just not all there upstairs, and they find a way to prove it every time! I'm no Rangers fan by any means, but no one deserves to get jumped at a sporting event!
