What is fandom if not suffering?

imo the eagles losing is a lot worse than the phillies losing. i don’t know anything about soccer so i have no opinion about that. but the phillies were hardly expected to beat the cardinals in the wild card round, so making it to the world series was surprising in the first place. the eagles blew it though

Yeah the Phillies run was magical. It hurt that they loss in the end but I got over it pretty quickly since they weren't even supposed to be there. This Eagles loss is gonna take a bit for me.

I dunno. All I know is pain with two shining bright spots (2008 and 2017). Everything else has been pain. At least I no longer have to watch Villanova dominate the city and can just enjoy the crab bucket that is Philadelphia college basketball.
