Wow, that was lame...

I have no dog in this fight but Pittsburgh is 100 times the sports city that Philly is and it is probably best to just drop the overcompensation act.

They are not even in the same universe with us, gotta have all 4 major sports to even be considered a sports town, thats the 1st requirement.

Gotta be relevant in USA's biggest sport to be in the discussion. Philly has never won a super bowl and probably won't in our lifetime.

wow so there are only 12 cities that can even be CONSIDERED sports towns?

milwaukee mike · 04-23-12, 03:09 PM

and even funnier yet, under that logic minneapolis would be a bigger sports town than los angeles

Philly fans are so bitter that their football team is a failure. 2 super bowl appearances and 2 losses while the Steelers rack up the SB titles... must suck to be the 2nd most relevant sports town in your own state... must really suck.

milwaukee mike · 04-23-12, 03:14 PM

still not convinced that philly is the 2nd most relevant sports town in that state

pittsburgh has no nba team, and their baseball team is complete crap

at least philly has had competitive teams in all 4 sports

So the Eagles are failures? I know we have never won a superbowl but going to 5 NFC Championship games in the last 13 years isn't to bad. I'll give you that Steelers > Eagles, but Flyers > Pens, Phillies > Pirates, Sixers > Pitt NCAA basketball team?

PhillyFlyers · 04-23-12, 03:23 PM

First of all, the Pens were almost forced to move out of Shitsburgh because their fans didn't support them financially.

Sorry, but you don't get to call yourself a great sports city when you almost lose a franchise.

On top of that, they have no NBA representative.

In addition, the city itself has no significant history, culture, or relevance.

Never compare Shitsburgh again with the awesomeness known as Philadelphia.

1990-1991 1991-1992 2008-2009

Both entered league same year. Pitt has 3, Philly has 2. What am I missing, Ace?

PickWinnerAllDay · 04-23-12, 03:28 PM

Yeah... Flyers > Penguins?

Philly fans are either too homerish to acknowledge the truth or just completely ignorant to sports.

The history/culture/relevance could be offset by the fact Philly is full of jersey shore wannabe douchebags.

jjgold · 04-23-12, 03:32 PM

Phila kicked the crap out of Pitt

I never saw a team so scared

PickWinnerAllDay · 04-23-12, 03:32 PM

Philly fans booed Michael Irving's career ending neck injury for crying out loud. It is a town of douchebags. Period.

LOL somebody's a butt hurt penguin fan.

PickWinnerAllDay · 04-23-12, 03:34 PM

And we can't forget the fat douchebag Philly fan who spits on little girls and then throws up on them on purpose when they are ejected.'

You stay classy, Philadelphia.

That guy was from jersey. At least know something about it before you say something. Also don't forget we booed Santa in the 60's

PickWinnerAllDay · 04-23-12, 03:38 PM

I'll end this somewhat nonsensical debate with this. Philly fans just do too much dumb shit. There are instances in every city that makes you scratch your head... but Philly seems to have the market on these stupid acts. They claim it is because they have more passion. No... every large fan base has significant passion... you just seem to have more douchebags. Might as well embrace it. Philly... home of the most douchebags.

Lots of Bears/Cubs/Bulls fans are shuttled in from Iowa and Indiana... that doesn't make them any less Chicago's...

Unfortunately, Philly's fan base market goes into Jersey and those douchebags are yours. Might as well embrace them.
