Last night was a black eye for the city, no doubt. There’s no defending it. And today, the Flyers released a statement on the behavior of their fans last night, which was a night to honor Ed Snider, which probably made the behavior look even worse. Here’s the statement, courtesy of Howard Eskin:
If you can’t view the image, here’s what it says:
Flyers fans are the best in sports. However, last night, a number of individuals behaved in an unacceptable manner. Fans have the right to voice their displeasure vocally or by not watching or attending games, but when displeasure is expressed in a way that embarrasses or endangers others, it cannot be condoned or tolerated.
As an organization and on behalf of the overwhelming majority of Flyers’ fans who express their passion in a positive manner, we wish to express our sincere regret.
