The only reason is to draw attention to yourself???
How about supporting your team and bonding with other phils fans.

OK, replace my first sentance with “The reason to wear your jersey
to the game is to support your team”
then continue reading.

Not sure where this stat came from, but itâ€™s incredibly inaccurate.

OK, 90% of the people in the world are good….

Mr. Met,

“99.9% of the people in the world are nice, good folks…” Not sure where this stat came from, but it’s incredibly inaccurate.

I had no problem wearing my jersies to shea last year.

2 years ago however, I went with a date (who wasn’t wearing gear, and honestly didn’t care about the game) and we were both getting pelted with food/debris. It was a disgusting showing by Met fans. I can almost understand it, if I was with other male philly fans, but this was a chick. It was unreal.

And yes, I realize there are PLENTY of similar type stories where the Phils fans (more likely Eagles fans) were the a-holes.

The problem is when one person starts doing something ridiculous, he is usually egged on. The people that egg the person on would never do something like that on their own, but being in a group like that leads to ridiculous behavior. And obviously no one is gonna stop them.

How about supporting your team and bonding with other phils fans. If you don’t wear a jersey out of fear, you are giving the other team’s fans way too much “credit” (credit is not the right word, but you know what i mean.)

The only reason to wear that jersey is to draw attention to yourself
as a Phillies fan. 99.9% of the people in the world are nice, good
folks, it’s the .1% of the psycho’s you have to watch out for. Cities
like NY and Phil. have more of those losers just because the population
is higher than small towns. Is it normal to be worried because you want
to root for the visiting team at a ballpark? It shouldn’t be, but some
fan’s that post on blogs and even sportswriters build up this rivalry so
much that it brings these nuts out of the woodwork.
I’ll be seeing the Mets play Philly on April 19th, in Philly. I would like to
wear my jersey but I won’t.

I think I’m more nervous about an altercation happening on the subway ride home than in the stadium itself. I certainly won’t be looking to egg anyone on.

Only if you act like a jerk should you be worried by drunk angry met fans. You guys can think all you want that you anger met fans the most, but I will never forget watching a met fan go up to a guy in a Arod jersey for no reason but to kick his face multiple times. No joke it was disturbing, his face was all blood.

I love friendly fan altercations. There is no reason to fight over a baseball game I’m sorry. I saw a phillies fan throwing beers at a guy just cause he had a piazza jersey on. The guy had 2 little kids with him that almost got hit, it’s ridiculous.

You’ll get heckled for wearing your team but no need to get nervous as long as you egg up a frustrated/angry drunk fan.
