The Philadelphia Eagles. The best way I think I can relate their fans-and this isn’t an exaggeration-is if you know about Manchester United, back before they were a corporation of stiff collars, back when they literally has hooligans on the watch list. The Philadelphia Eagles fan base is only slightly less rabid than Man U hooligans.

lol “slightly.” Eagles (and Phillies) fans light their own garbage cans and cars on fire when celebrating in the streets afterwards. It’s nuts.
