Sometimes I wonder what the hell people are thinking. Especially people who don’t really grasp anything else around them except their own needs and wants. That was fully evident yesterday when Carson Wentz landed in Philly. He had his press conference close to 6 P.M. and the furthest thing from his mind was probably signing autographs for fans. In fact, Eagles employees who surrounded him didn’t let him stop to sign anything and kept him moving. That’s not exactly Wentz’s fault.
“Come on, you won’t sign for a season ticket holder?! Not lookin’ good on the news!”—Eagles fan to Carson Wentz https://t.co/ofL9PungrV

Here’s a video from CBS 3’s Don Bell, who captures a fan even booing at Wentz as he gets into a vehicle and has the balls to troll one of the Eagles employees by saying, “What you gonna do?”

Are you serious, guys? Come the hell on. Far be it from me to tell a season ticket holder they should be above getting autographs. But to get so mad about it when it clearly isn’t his decision and he isn’t exactly going to do anything to annoy his newest employer, and take it out on him, is completely unfair. That’s the issue with Philly fans sometimes. They may come on too strong and be the most passionate fans in the country, but sometimes they just act ridiculous. I’m being nice. And this is one of those times.
At least he got that high five in to someone during his walk. Hopefully he won’t be demanding a trade any time soon.
