I do take umbrage with the media, though. If Eagles fans had desecrated Warner's home, the whole sport's world would be outraged.
With good reason...
But they shouldn't be MORE outraged because it was Eagles fans.
I guess what I am saying is that because it was ARI fans, it gets broadcast, but that is it. If it were Eagles fans, we'd see it for a week, there would be editorials about how bad Eagles fans behave, the Sports Reporters would do a segment on it, the NFL would send a letter of concern to Mayor Nutter, etc. In reality, there are tons of fan incidents outside of Philly, but because we threw snowballs at Santa in 1952, our infractions are magnified.

You know, you're probably right. I wonder why that is? Image? Skin color? Is it the player or the team they play for? I hadn't thought about it, but you got a point.
