June 8, 5 o’clock news- a reporter is in a local south philly establishment talking with flyer fans and a couple of Chicago fans. The Chicago fans were asked why they weren’t wearing their gear (jerseys, colors, etc.) they commented they didn’t want to be harassed verbally and physically all evening– they came to watch hockey and support their team. Classic example of how Philadelphia fans are perceived and how the rest of the country sees them.
Sad part about this is they treat each other the same way- city of brotherly love, right!!! Go Hawks!

My daughter and i flew out to Philly to experience game 4. We went for lunch at the Four Seasons and saw the Hawks players going to the bus. When we left, there were Flyers fans with a dummy dressed as a Hawk player that they were beating up and be-heading. All while the Philly police were ready to escort the Blackhawk bus to the stadium.
This was extremely unusual for us to see – as Chicago sports fans, we love our teams and realize other fans love their teams. We don’t attack people who wear other jerseys, but we may kid around and boo them. The Flyers fans were the most vulgar people who lashed out at people just because they donned Blackhawk clothes. We didn’t get spit on, beers thrown on us or urinated on as other fans did. But, we did have people yell at us and try to intimidate us just for coming to the game.
The Hawks lost, and we were dissapointed. But they will turn it around in Chicago and i hope we win the cup at game 6 in Philly and that the Flyer fans cry like a bunch of babies that they are.
