Eagles fans are bitchmade across the board he could disrespect that dumbass statue in broad daylight and the most he'd get is some honking.

God drat philly sucks. Makes a stupid rear end statue for a movie that they based their entire personality around instead of an actual homegrown guy like Joe Frazier.

What the national media and general public think of as the stereotypical "Philly fan" persona is absolutely Delco people. Second closest would probably be northeast Philly

Funniest thing to me about Philly embracing ROcky as a mascot (aside from being fictional) is that everyone forgets he LOST in the first movie.

SF being favored on the road here is giving me concerns. Usually, Vegas gets stuff like this right when a spread makes little instinctual sense. And I just feel like sooner or later, some of the luck we've had is gonna run out and the mistakes we make will catch up to us.

I tried watching the first one a few years ago, but stopped off after the scene at the end of Rocky and Adrian's first "date". that was some hosed up poo poo

I want to be clear all the Rocky movies and Creed are great but you have to be the biggest morons in the world to embrace it as your city's identity especially when you're the third or fourth most important city in America.

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

yeah i think it's pretty silly that philly is all-in on rocky, but for as large and important as the city is there's kind of a shocking lack of television/movies set here

we should be brave enough to just fully embrace charlie, mac, and dee, but alas

Please bench the Commie starters. Zero reason to risk them during this massacre. Play starters for the Cowboys game but that's about it.

I figured the first one was more so because how much of an underdog Rocky was going against the champ (an exhibition match if i recall too so there was no title on the line). He lost sure, but he put up a hell of a fight. First one was amazing even if it had some.. unforunate things in it. *looks at Adrian*

Also we 49ers fans do not acknowledge that idiot.

is that a thing btw? Other fans apparently putting jerseys on that statue?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand philadelphia culture. The horse poo poo is chunky but subtle, and without a solid grasp of homelessness and despair most of the jokes will go over the head of a true american. There's also sirianni's eyes that look like buttholes, which are deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from greek stories about butt literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this hellhole, to realize it's not just smelly- it also says something about america as a failed state. As a consequence people who dislike philadelphia culture truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in whatever i'm done efforting this poo poo meme
