Is anyone else surprised by the NY media's offensive comments about Philadelphia - the city and the fans?
-
I've been getting some emails forwarded to me with links (which I'll provide) openly blasting the city of Philadelphia as well as the fans. It's one thing for fans of the opposing team to make outrageous comments or be belligerent, but it's quite another for "respected" journalists and the sort to make these kinds of belittling comments. Did this shock anyone else? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/10/27/2009-10-27_cheesesteakstinkin_town_of_philadelphia_poses_just_a_phantom_menace_to_mighty_ya.html http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/the_frillies_are_coming_to_town_mnrbqD4sqsEKH10TfB3k6H And this is the Philly.com response... http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20091027_N_Y__Post_mocks_Phillies_as_Frillies.html

Answer:
I read that Daily News article this morning. It is a horribly written article. I would really use the term respected loosely when describing people who work for the Post or Daily News. Especially the Post. That "newspaper" is only a tiny step up from the National Enquirer. I am not surprised at all that those newspapers would respond to the Phillies like that. You would never see an article like that in the Times.

I don't take anything that the NY Post takes seriously or any NY Paper these days for that matter. I think all Papers from different cities in general pretty much do the same thing. I think it's wrong to bash fans & the city they are from.
Daily News and/or NY Post - Respected Journalists? Who? There are no respected journalists in these papers Its a rag, dude - Chill

Jim-- I am from NY--- and those papers are worthless. But even you have to admit that Philly fans do not have the best reputation.

Its the same paper that twisted Papelbons ASG interview around to sound like he wanted to take the save opportunity from Rivera. Its the only thing they can do to sell papers. They also had A Rods picture on the front with the headline "A Hole". They don't even respect their own team.

It's so immature how they wrote that. Yeah, that totally makes Yankees fans seem knowledgeable about baseball and respectful to other teams. It should have never been written. FIRE THOSE CLASSLESS LOSERS!

no typical classless new york they are as ignorant about sports as the NY Times is ignorant about politics. :edit: TA I have heard that about the Phillies fans but I hear all the Yankees fans on this site and think that is the pot calling the kettle black.

Who cares!! Its the Press. Who cares what the Press say. I read the one by Joanna Molloy.. who the F*$# is Joanna Molloy. She certainly doesnt speak for the City. I like Cheese steaks! LOL... Just Looking to stir up drama, the Phillie People shouldnt fall for it.
