Poll question: City with most spiteful sports fans
Some of my friends are arguing about this. It's boiled down to Philadelphia vs. Cleveland. What say you?

5. Now I'm not sure if they used batteries...there are conflicting reports on that
some people claimed that fans packed batteries inside of snowballs, others say that never happened.

I don't know what the hell happened, but the sports fans in this city are positively rabid

6. I've also heard many reports of Boo-bird-ism.
Including a Jean Shepherd radio show episode on Philly Boobirds

8. Now that one is definitely true....and sometimes it is directed at the Eagles
and given how they have played, I suppose I don't blame them

11. Whoa. Hold up. We're not talking about rowdy/violent fans. We're talking about spiteful fans.

Those men were true believers, not spiteful killers.
