The Unwritten Rule of Philly Fandom
When it comes to being a true Philadelphian, there’s an unspoken expectation that goes beyond mere residency. It’s about embracing the city’s culture, its quirks, and its passions. And for many, that passion is the Philadelphia Eagles.
A Chant Above the Rest
The “EAGLES” chant is more than just a simple phrase – it’s a badge of honor, a sign of allegiance, and a test of devotion. It’s a reflexive response that should come as naturally as breathing. When someone starts with that iconic “Eeeeeee”, you instinctively know to follow up with “A-G-L-E-S EAGLES”. It’s a rite of passage, a shared experience that transcends age, background, and even literacy.
A Mayor’s Misstep
Recently, Philly Mayor Cherelle Parker sparked concern when she botched the sacred chant, replacing the correct “A-G-L-E-S” with “E-L-G-S-E-S”. While we all have our moments of mental lapses, this particular mistake raised eyebrows. Is it a deal-breaker? Not necessarily. But it does raise questions about one’s connection to the city and its people.
A Possible Explanation
Perhaps, just perhaps, Mayor Parker was paying homage to a memorable moment from last season. If that’s the case, then she’s more in tune with the city’s pulse than we thought. After all, being a true fan is about embracing the ups and downs, the triumphs and tribulations.
The Bottom Line
In the end, it’s not about how you spell “Eagles”. It’s about the passion, the pride, and the unwavering dedication to the team. So, go ahead, Mayor Parker – show us your true colors. Go mother frickin’ Birds, baby!
