Fans

The Resume

    (1933- )
    Root for their NFC team
    Often dress or paint themselves in the team colors of Royal Blue, Green and White
    Distracted by cheerleaders
    They love their eagle mascot Swoop

Why they might be annoying:

    They booed Santa Claus at a game.
    They cheered while Dallas WR Michael Irvin was lying motionless on the field with what turned out to be a career ending injury.
    Since many fans are rowdy at games, Veterans Stadium built a holding cell and courtroom beneath the stadium to deal with arrested fans immediately.
    Fans often shout insults at the opposing team's bus as it arrives at the stadium.
    They booed the draft selection of QB Donovan McNabb. They now think he is one of the best QB's in the league.
    They have a fight song called 'Fly Eagles Fly.'
    When Washington Redskin unofficial mascot Chief Zee attended an Eagle home game at the Vet, the fans did not appreciate his taunting. They beat him badly enough that he suffered broken legs and they stripped him to his underwear (1983).
    In an effort to apologize, the Eagles invited him back the following year when he was accosted by an elderly female fan who threw a drink in his face and said 'You've got a lot of nerve coming up here! We mugged the guy who dressed like that last year! (1984).'

Why they might not be annoying:

    They sleep out in the freezing cold for days to get playoff tickets.
    They successfully protested the policy against bringing food into the new stadium, Lincoln Financial Field.
    Their cheerleaders pose for an annual lingerie calender and the fans vote for the cover girl.
    Their team was first to host three straight NFC Championships (2003-05).
