Boston, while ironically deemed a very liberal city, is also a very racist one

The city itself... not so much anymore.

Don't get me wrong, it will still be found there. It's just more in the upper-middle class "they absolutely are entitled to respect, equality, and equity - but I'd prefer that they receive those things somewhere else" kind of way

The "fully aware that they're racist assholes and don't give a fuck about making it known" types have been priced out to the south shore

The last time I remember was when we were at the old vet a whole row of crazies behind us were screaming to take Doug Peterson ( they called him Peterman for some reason ) out for Mcnabb to play for the 1st time in Philly.

Finally they put him and the place erupts then he fumbles and they screamed get that Nono word out of here. The vet was a wild place .

When my father finally let me go to the vet for an eagles game, we sat in the 700 level. I saw a grown man piss in a cup and then huck it down on our own fans.

I've heard some wild shit up there.

So many people would just piss right off the side of the building up there and it would rain down on the people just walking below. I’ve had season tix since Mcnabbs first year and those first few at the Vet were definitely the wildest . People would just smoke crack out in the open and get into fights ,plus tickets were only about 30 bucks a game .

Yeah I'm pretty conceptually opposed to seat licenses but it absolutely did help cut down on some of the insanity.
