Because they keep making a big deal of McNabb. Everyone thinks he is so grat and he is not. If he were white he would be no big deal to anyone. And I am not a racist. Just tired of the double standard now days.

I'm okay with the Eagles, it's (most of) their fans that I have a problem with. Sure, ESPN loves to bring up the fact that they threw snowballs at Santa Claus, but that's a lovely gesture compared to some of the stuff they've done. If you've ever seen a Redskins home game, or when they play in Dallas, you might notice an older Black man on the sidelines dressed up like a Native American with the big feather headdress, all authentic gear. Years ago, back before Dan Snyder when Jack Kent Cook owned the 'Skins, the Eagles fans beat the hell out of this man, and he was kind of old back then. That is absolutely classless. Jack Kent Cook took care of him though, paid his medical bills, replaced his authentic Native American stuff, allowed him to fly with the team to away games, and flew him to the last Super Bowl Washington played in. Eagles fans also booed Donovan McNabb when they drafted him, they booed Jeff Garcia when he got injured this past season and remained in the game, (most) Eagles fans are just unhappy in general. I always put most in parentheses because you really can't generalize and I've met some Eagles fans that were quite nice, it seems that the worst ones are the ones with season tickets.
Cheers!

The team is really not that bad of a team, its the fans that taint their image. Any team that has fans that throw batteries at their own players as well as beating up a Redskins icon (the Chief) is good enough reason to hate them. I'm a die-hard Redskins fan and the Philly games are some of the worst. The fans are rude and a bunch of drunken mooks from the armpit of America, Jersey. Some, and that is very few, are respectable, but the majority are rude. I mean come on, their old stadium had a court and jail in the stadium, that shows the type of fans they have. Also that stupid song, Fly Eagle Fly, that is awful and tacky.

I don't even hate the Eagles as much as I hate Philadelphia and it's fans!

Take the number of people in the U.S., subtract 1/2 of the people in the Philadelphia area and you have your answer. Because they're the Eagles.

I hate the Eagles more than any other team in any other sport. Probably because I am a huge Cowboy fan.

Don't the Eagles fan hate them? Oh wait they just like to boo them. I wouldn't say I "hate" them but I really don't like them.

What's to like about them? They've never won anything. Their fans are jerks, idoits, etc. They booed Santa Claus!! Cheered when Michael Irvin's career was ended on their concrete turf. Plus, their coach is a poor father.
What's to like? Donovan's mom?!?!

Decent team over the years but the word is their fans are the most unruly in the league
