Around SBN: Indy 500: Coverage of the 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing'

Not all Flyers fans are bad.



I came across this while not being able to sleep, and some of the guys over at Broad Street Hockey are putting something together to present to the two victims of the beatings after the Winter Classic. The plan is still up in the air, but they are trying to get autographed jerseys for both, or tickets to another game. Either one speaks wonders and shows not all people are assholes, including Flyer fans. In the link below there is a Paypal address where you can add donations as well. You would be helping out fellow Ranger fans, one of which is a vet, who had some serious bad luck and misfortune.

If you go to the FanPost titled “Classy Philadelphia Fans” we discuss the unfortunate assault and incident as well as Broad Street Hockey’s classy response to it.

You can go to that FanPost if you’d like to share your thoughts and opinions.

Take it easy.

they caught the guy who threw the punch (more accurately: he turned himself in after realizing he was going to get caught)

I love the responses by respective teams fans when something like this hits the media… the entire city of Vancouver was ravaged by Canuck fans, and all of the fans say it’s not all fans… well obviously it’s not all fans because not every single person who likes the Canucks took part in the riot, but it is the reputation that speaks for itself, Canucks fans riot… Just like flyers fans are notorious for being grade A assholes, no it’s not everybody but when you establish that kind of reputation, and then take pride in it only to blame the media and others who reiterate the reputation, you are being hypocritical…
