Philly Police Disguised as Saints Fans

[tailg8or]

Got this off yahoo sports ...

 

This isn't the first time the force has resorted to undercover measures to deter would-be aggressors from going after opposing fans, but with the Eagles hosting a playoff tilt for the first time since 2010 it is certainly high-profile detail for Philly's finest. Officers impersonating Saints devotees will be spread out amongst the 69,000 fans in the stadium in hopes that 'Bird Brains' will think twice before picking on someone wearing black and gold.

 

For all the complaining about BOA, be thankful it doesn't resort to this.  I was at the NFC Championship game in Philly against the Panthers several years ago.  BOA is just as loud ... actually probably louder ... for playoff games but just not full of the nonsense that occurs there.

Having grown up in PA, I can tell you first hand that Philly and all of their fans are pieces of crap.  Every single one of them. 

 

Remember the news story 2 years ago about the guy who stuck his finger down his throat and threw up on a little girl because she was wearing a Braves jersey?  Their fans are absolutely sickening.

Still very tame compared to the lunatic racists that are euro soccer fans.

Just this once the Philly police should let Eagles fans do what they want...

[MadHatter]

yep...there was a story from the 2005 NFC Championship game where a guy from Charlotte took his young son to the game.  Philly fans threw empty and full beer cans at the kid....who was about 9 years old.

 

As a group....Philly has the most classless fans in the league.

This would help thin the herd a bit.  In reality I see this as entrapment.  Philly fans are so dumb they will automatically be drawn in and succumb to their Neanderthalic (not really a word but you get my drift) tendencies.

It is only entrapment if the undercover cops try and act like assholes to entice a Philly fan to react.  Otherwise....not even close to entrapment.

Why is every game between two quality opponents being called a "tilt" now?

[Darth Biscuit]

Quick, somebody buy Alice a one way bus pass and a ticket to the game...

[Panthro]

Read this as disgusted at saints fans

[X-Clown]

Please tell me the cops will be dressed like this

Philly and NJ teams both have some of worst fans of any sport.

I can vouch for NO being "neaderthalic" as well.  I have been to that shithole twice and was threatened with physical violence both times, one in which I had to leave my seats at halftime because security wouldn't do anything.  I say let PHI and NO fans just trash each other.  Less of them, the better.

Lots of teams do this. Some just don't realease that kind of information to the public. It typically only occurs when rival teams or divisional opponents come to town or in this case it's because of the playoffs.
