I know there are bad apples everywhere, but man do I hate Winnipeg Jets fans. Nice ending to the story because of Tavares though.
It takes a special kind of despicable human to get in the face of an 11 year old for wearing the other team's jersey.
And I thought Flyers fans were adept at this sort of thing.
A few years back, my relatives along with their 12 yr. old son took in a Leafs-Flyers game in Philly, while there on business The boy was wearing his Leafs jersey, and, albeit nothing major happened, still, he/they had to endure some heckling from some very rude people. One even gave them the 'finger'.
The whole experience certainly didn't make for a memorable one. Asked if they'd take in a game again should they have returned there, the answer was an emphatic "No!".
