    As an Eagles fan. Lawson didn’t seem like he did anything. He shouldn’t have been over there…But a warning to the player should be enough. I don’t care what happens to the fan either way.

    It would be more surprising if a Philly fan didn’t say something that deserves a punch to the face. That’s kinda their whole thing, right? Be as vile as possible, but know they’re protected and have strength in numbers.

    Pure anecdotal life lesson from someone who lived with Eagles fans for over 8 years (in college, then through military) and was around a lot in the Air Force:

    There’s two types of Eagles fan. There’s the rational, yet mega-fans; then there’s the toxic pieces of trash that Lawson is describing. You can’t tell the difference at first. My only discernible litmus test I’ve seen is ask them this question: what do you think of McNabb? The toxic pieces of trash can’t stand him. It’s the quickest way I’ve been able to determine their “type.”

    I’m not going to defend the fan here, but an apology the contains “but” is not an apology.

      As the great Phil Dunphy once said “love the I love you, getting awfully tired of the “but””

    Ah yes. Changing the narrative to play the victim. You can’t push fans.

    Drunk fans are annoying even when they’re supporting your team. Guy should have been moved

      We don’t even know he said anything. The few videos weve seen don’t show it.

        The guy was clapping on the side of a beer can.

        He’s annoying no matter what he said

    The old, “Look what you made me do!”, defense strategy. AKA: “Yeah, I used sticks and stones. But words hurt”.

    Most people learn how to deal with being a part of a greater society in kindergarten. Most pro-athletes realize that fans want to get into your head, and distract you from paying attention to what you’re being paid to pay attention to. You let them distract you, they win. If you don’t want to them win, act like they don’t even exist.
