With All Due Respect To Dianna Russini, Part Of Being A Philly Sports Fan Is Being An Irrational Maniac Whenever Our Teams Lose

Let me preface this by saying that Dianna Russini is great.

So this is coming from a place of respect and admiration for Dianna Russini.

This is what you signed up for, unfortunately.

It’s just a way of life here.

I wish he had the ability to be a little more rational about our sports fandom.

But it’s just been bred into us for generations at this point.

But that’s what bonds us all together.

Losing to Tampa in the 2002 NFC Championship Game to close out the Vet.

Patrick Kane scoring the OT game winner in game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final.

Ryan Howard tearing his ACL in game 5 of the 2011 NLDS.

These are all god awful loses that have shaped and molded us as people.

On second thought, maybe we really shouldn’t care as much as we do.
