If there is one thing I can rely on its humanities ability to suck.
It’s no surprise that the Eagles win unleashed a riot. I am not saying you can’t celebrate your team’s victory but when people are jumping off buildings, looting stores and burning things, that’s taking it too far, I myself am from Philly area.
You shouldn’t have to rip apart your hometown to celebrate, that’s not celebrating that’s just being obnoxious. It’s just a football game it’s not okay to tear apart your city if your team wins. I’ve seen videos and snaps of things being burnt, and all other craziness that went down. Is that the rep you want our town to have?
The events that have taken place have made people divided, some stating the riots were celebrations of creating unity and love. My question is how? How is rioting a symbol of unity? Is burning things, looting and flipping cars really a symbol of unity? No they didn’t have pitchforks and torches but what occurred was much worse. How are people okay with that behavior?
Can you really say that it is unity, when you have people eating horse crap, or jumping off banisters that then crash? What does it say about your hometown when they keep having to find ways to make sure people can’t climb up light posts? The more crazy the act getting done is the more of an ass you look like, and you can do these things, but don’t be surprised of the outcome.
You can still go out, party and get drunk to celebrate that your team just won a Super Bowl. I mean congratulations your team’s colors just beat the other team’s colors for a shiny trophy. Just know your limits when you’re in the middle of the street setting off fireworks, and cars on fire then it’s gone too far. You shouldn’t have to take it to these lengths to show your support for your team, it’s just not that worth it.
Riots are not a symbol of unity it is a symbol of a party going too wild, or anger over a situation. The city should not have to put everything back, and clean everything up from the people rioting. Also the people’s whose shops got looted from shouldn’t have to put their stores back together they didn’t ask for a bunch of assholes to barge in and take what they please.
Philadelphia is a great and fun city to be in with a lot to do and a lot going on for it and it is good for the city that they won, just not with riots from dumb people tearing apart the city. Just Keeping It Classy Philly.
