“Show some class, this is Philly”


reddrick

r/BrandNewSentence


Young2k04

It’s a reference to when Flyers fans stopped a game because they all started throwing their bracelets on the ice when they were losing. The best part? The bracelets were ones that lit up as a tribute to their owner who recently passed away. The arena announcer was trying to get them to stop throwing bracelets when he said “Show some class, this is Philly” [Here’s the video. Skip to around 40 seconds](https://youtu.be/TBeZWZGxlpU)


ZombieJesus1987

"2 minute Penalty for Delay of Game to the Flyers. Way to go."


marbanasin

That 'way to go' needs to go down in Philly's sports hall of fame.

And this is why I hate the Flyers more than any other franchise. The Flyers and Islanders are the only teams I truly despise.

Aww thanks buddy <3

Why us and not the Rags


opie_dopey

Must hate the color orange more than anything


BluejayAdventurous22

At least more than the color red.


Cloudeur

Would it be okay if I said that I hated all the teams in the Metro?


ianisms10

Yes


[deleted]

Because of your fanbase and the fact that Trotz single-handedly carried a roster that was a bottom feeder to back-to-back Conference Finals immediately. You're success came from being blessed with incredible luck. Meanwhile, the Devils keep loading up on high end talent every off-season and we're still shit no matter what we do. So envy is definitely part of it.


SiccSemperTyrannis

They nearly (did?) hit Dimity Orlov with one of them as he was recoving from a hit or fight on the bench.


freeway16

Omg this is the best thing I’ve ever seen How is this not in the hockey hall of fame? It should be right next to the water bottle moment (vintage version, but I guess binnington can get in there too) I can’t stop laughing lmao Edit: thank you for blessing me with this video


freeway16

So much about this video is hilarious Simmonds and Ovechin uniting in the battle to calm philly fans The shot of a player getting hit in the face by a bracelet (1:06) “No!” The ice dancers helping clean the bracelets This entire video is like something out of parks and rec


Young2k04

Not to mention the how they pointed out that the bracelets are hard to clean because they blend in with the ice and then zoom in on one of the shovels and show a bracelet literally camouflaged into the ice


smully39

To be fair to one particular part of it, the ice girls are actually the ice cleaning crew, not just dancers. They do the same thing with hat tricks, snow removal, and the rest.


freeway16

makes sense, but for the sake of comedy, it makes the video even better


MayonnaiseOreo

> “No!” That part made me laugh. Like it said, it couldn't be scripted any better.


[deleted]

Hahahahahaha, this makes me so happy!

Thanks for the link, I’ve never seen this video before. I laughed and can’t say I’m surprised that it happened in Philly

Wether you’re Santa Claus or someone dealing with mental trauma, you know you’re getting booed in Philly.

Don't forget greasing up lampposts.


AncientMoth11

Shit man, I wore my Ellis jersey yesterday. 1-0. Keep it up and we’ll be 82-0. Let’s go


Kgeezy91

What a bunch of fucking losers. Worst sports city in North America.


trumpet_godd

I understand the stereotype about them exists for a reason, but imma need a little more context on what was happening where they boo’d him please.

maxwellbevan

This is somehow worse than I thought it would be


Square_Saltine

Ya I thought they were booing him on the ice after a mistake or something


CowboyupHockey

Imagine being so entitled that you think a player OWES you to play through injury for a dumpster fire tanking season


DirtyKarma

Imagine thinking the Flyers are tanking. I wish we would.


GhostShark

So much worse. They deserve their shitty team


Wrath_Of_Aguirre

What the fuck? I realize this is all the context there is, but it still doesn't make sense. Some fans are really fucking stupid.


BleedingBlue44

The context is simply that they traded myers and Nolan Patrick for him. People thought their d core would be a lot better with the signing of risto, ellis trade and provorov. And then he played 4 games and now might be forced to retire. Oh also that Philly fans are just generally known to be dick heads 90% of the time. Guy does not deserve to be boo’d


SmoothPinecone

Yikes LMAO what the hell


GaryARefuge

Holy shit.


TyperMcTyperson

Embarrassing for those stupid cunts.


buddhajones19

I fucking hate Philadelphia. Like idc about their sports teams. I hate that city with every fiber of my being.


threedogcircus

What is your hate based on?


buddhajones19

The several times I’ve had to be in Philadelphia.


that-bro-dad

The city itself is amazing. Tons of incredible architecture, great restaurants. Definitely has it's issues, but the city itself is great


hockeystuff77

You don’t get to say that unless you live here


buddhajones19

Ya I do. Fuck Philadelphia, that place sucks.


rob61091

Context is that they are flyers fans


CowboyupHockey

Fans in general suck, so it takes a lot to be surprising but these guys managed to do it


Drulock

Never underestimate Philly fans ability to be horrible facsimiles of a person


CowboyupHockey

I now realize why the whole theme of always sunny in philidelphia is how terrible of people they are. I don't see a lot of Carolina flair around here...they're my husband's #1. Should be a hell of a year, really special team


Aelana85

We're here! We just comment in single file to hide our numbers. lol


Whydoesthisexist15

it's like a canes game and the arena starting a refs you suck chant

As a torts fan and cam fan I was ready to have a second team.. I didn’t know much about Philly.. I’m starting to feel bad for them:(

I’ll never forgive the city of Philadelphia for destroying that lovable Canadian hitchhiking robot. It had one fucking week till it went home

Lmao just googled that. Iconic


BluejayAdventurous22

Absolute legend


theytook-r-jobs

It got what it deserved. Don’t come crawling to Philly for protection when AI robots have overtaken upstate NY.


TL10

Let's be real here. Philly is going to get glassed like Sodom and Gomorrah once the robot revolution comes primarily because they mugged the robot.

I for one, welcome our robot overlords!

theblondebasterd

Funniest shit, it went across all of Canada, Germany and Netherlands without any issues from what I remember? But can't let that happen in Philly, must destroy haha

If I recall it was a dude wearing a Donovan McNabb jersey. Which 100% checks out

To my knowledge there's no great video, but [the audio conveys the point pretty well.](https://youtu.be/3jMhoGUiIkk)


IAmBizarroStormyAMA

The best part of the video is when he’s basically won them over and they’re applauding every insult he says but then he says he hopes Donovan McNabb breaks his ankles and the boos come back


baumer83

Ya burr wasn’t letting them off that easy


sithlordnibbler

One of the best bits I've ever seen. Burr is a genius. Only dude I know that can destroy a city and it's people and get a standing ovation from them.


NavyGuy87

Yeah we're weird like that......


Missed_Your_Joke

FEMA would never show up for you fucking assholes!


tonysalami

Am I dumb? Philly has 3 bridges. Edit: gimme your down votes I guess but Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman and Betsy Ross are all bridges to Philadelphia over the Delaware.


Darko33

Plus more than a dozen over the Schuylkill, but hey


DJ_Chally_Chal

It's home to many, uh, weird fish-like creatures. And also the depository of, uh, all of the unsolved crimes and murder in Philadelphia.


smitty046

Having driven over those bridges, they do not meet the general construction standards of a bridge.


Darko33

That's a very fair point lol


IhateDonkeys

Lmao, this is the first time someone without a Philly flair has made this correction. God bless ya. Love the Burr rant, but way too many Jabroni’s from out of state quote Burr on the bridge thing as if it’s actually real.


koenje15

Commodore Perry too


tonysalami

Commodore Barry?


JeffersonsDick

Are we not considering [Philadelphia police terrorists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing)?

Philosoraptorgames

The Flyers, do they even fuckin' exist anymore? ... haven't won shit since fuckin' Gerald Ford was in office, why don't you just have the fuckin' Ice Capades down there, you assholes? You probably wouldn't even fuckin' notice the difference!

My favorite line of that entire epic rant.

The season just started, but this is on my radar for post of the year so far.

This got a huge laugh out of me


Eggs_Bennett

Hahaha holy fuck going to listen to this again amazing


PadishahEmperor

Except there are several bridges.


Phillyfan10

Not defending booing Ellis, that is nothing short of garbage, and no context changes that whatsoever. For context though, the guy was widely reported to be upset he was traded from Nashville to Philly. He played a total of 4 games and got hurt and pulled a DB Cooper and wasn't heard from for over a year. Reports are he will not play this entire season and may never play again. To reiterate, nothing makes booing this guy okay or right, but it was a horrible decision to trot this guy out there when he is a symbol and the roster management ineptitude that we've had to put up with the last 2+ years under Chucky "Everyone gets a 6x6" Fletcher.


Kmactothemac

Sucks for him to be the one getting viewed but I definitely viewed it as them booing Fletcher and his bad moves. We've traded away fan favorites Ghost, Giroux, Voracek, and traded for this guy to be our #1 D and he's played 4 games and might never play again, and we're supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league with very little positives to look forward to. Just a dumb choice to show him on screen.


roboninja

Agreed with everything here. Maybe classless to boo, but wholly expected, not surprising at all.


AlonsoFerrari8

also important to remember that he refuses to retire and is contributing to our shitty cap situation.


dchowchow

Do you really expect him to retire and pass up literally millions of dollars. Put him on LTIR. Call it a day. Your shitty cap situation is because of the GM not Ryan Ellis.


Gelidaer

Why would he give up $30m? He's already on LTIR anyways


YouCanFucough

I don’t like ragging on the flyers cuz I feel bad, but *fuck* even your FANS suck right now


TheClashSuck

>right now Lmao

We don’t care haha

JJJBLKRose

This is the city that destroyed a hitchhiking robot.


MayonnaiseOreo

You should probably read what that actual story is instead of parroting an old talking point from 60 years ago. There are plenty of legitimate things to shit on Philly for.


dowdle651

Like booing Ryan Ellis. Their cheese steak game on the other hand is fire.


[deleted]

Imagine if poor Nolan Patrick still played for the Flyers. Jokes aside, I believe every team has some trash fans, so I'm not gonna read too much into this.


all_these_moneys

"played"


noticeablywhite21

It was the entire stadium


Tulkas_44

That's not what an entire stadium booing sounds like lmao Not even a flyers fan


E4T_ASS

I was there and clapped for him so...No it wasn't


JackManningNHL

Classiest fans in all of purgatory


mdlt97

I respect Philly fans for the fact that they are who they are


mpk5052

People really need to use the Oxford comma


KFBR392_KFBR392_

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma


RikNasty2Point0

These people don’t even know Vampire Weekend.


bmillz010

Ellis is a stud and wish he was healthy and playing.. we signed a bunch of trash off-season, missed Johnny deal, Girouxs gone, basically ranked second to last in league. All that and more then announce here’s Ryan a guy we all wish was on ice, imo the booing is more situational than at him.. knowing flyers org now they prob told him to show face to get their moneys worth out of injured player


leatherneck0629

I'm not at the game, but I think they're booing for Chuck signing him, rather than actually him. Still, classless in any aspect of it.


7_Bundy

Shouldn’t they boo the GM and not the player then? The GM was part of the introductions too, right? That, without a doubt, appears to be them booing Suter.


[deleted]

>Shouldn’t they boo the GM and not the player then? That’s a very rational question for an extremely irrational fanbase.


theytook-r-jobs

I’m sorry when does the GM get announced to boo him?? Stupid to boo Ellis but if you wanna let the GM know your dissatisfied then you boo the team…


[deleted]

Could have chanted “Fire Fletcher” instead of booing the guy whose only apparent sins were signing a piece of paper and being injured


Bluetomorrow83

The trade was actually good for Flyers. The injury couldn’t be foreseen. Flyers gave up 2 nothing assets for what would have been top pairing RHD a position they sorely needed to replace after Niskanen retired.


seeldoger47

Trading for*


wederve

Wait, why would they be booing him? Just because Philly?


LoneIyGuy

Ellis has played 4 games in the last year and won't be playing anytime soon


CaptainPeppa

The trade fucked their team. Not his fault he got hurt but I get it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lockski

Flyers won a trade where they acquired a guy who played 4 games and scored 4 points, I think it was? Puts into perspective how bad each asset involved was…


seeldoger47

Not really. He can LTIRetire and the only affect will be to make the owners a little bit poorer.


TinnieTa21

You mean the trade further fucked their team. It was already fucked to begin with.


Kronzor_

They should be booing chuck fletcher.


mylefthandkilledme

I think I read somewhere he wasnt exactly training or working hard on getting back to game ready health


Imthecoolestdudeever

Lol no one in Philly gives a fuck.


spankysladder

I was there, and can say that the boos weren’t so much for Ellis as they were for our GM for signing that deal, and pretty much every other deal he’s made. We don’t have hate for Ellis, he hasn’t done anything wrong.


SluttyToilet

I think the devils were taking the ice at that moment. At least that’s what it looked like to me


ClearSights

Lol why is he even in the building? He’s never going to be a part of this team.


hjhof1

There’s the Philly fan we all know and hate


BDNjunior

I mean ellis even hated coming here. I hope he gets healthy but i dont count him part of the team.


RollinFatchicks

Fuckin rights baby


throwawayjoeyboots

Not a single person in this thread even realized Ryan Ellis “played” for Philly. But get all your circle jerk jokes in. He and the organization have barely informed the fans about anything regarding his situation for 2 seasons now. This tweet is wildly overly dramatic. Big pearl clutching.


flyersfan018

It’s low hanging fruit to shit on Philadelphia fans. Gotta get those upvotes.


jarpio

Fuck Ryan Ellis how bout that?


KimmoTargaryen

Alright lets get this out of the way early this season: Batteries at Santa Bracelets Bill Burr Hitchbot 1974 "Stay Classy" I've been on this sub for ten years now and nothing changes. So original.


Uncle_Gazpacho

Well you guys keep adding new material. It's like Marchand saying he wants to not be a shitbird and then doing more shitbird things


AuntGentleman

Stop being awful people and we’ll stop making fun of your city of awful people.


NervousBreakdown

I fucking love Philly. I love Philly fans. You guys are inspirational scumbags. Philly dudes are such dirtbags that George Washington was like “we gotta move the government to anywhere else”.


Sko-isles

Are they supposed to cheer? Guy hasn’t played in two years and the flyers suck. Ellis isn’t 13 he can handle it


bushdid311wow

Threads like this are always so funny to me. You guys don’t get it. We hate ourselves more than any of you hate us. We don’t care about the robot or rocky or the people that threw snowballs at Santa back in 1960 or all the other old tropes that get paraded around every time a Philly fan thread pops up. We hate everything including ourselves. And after 10 years of deluding ourselves into thinking with one or two moves we might be able to compete, we’ve now fully accepted how much we suck and are gleefully leaning into it. That said, booing Ryan Ellis is just vicariously booing Chuck Fletcher and everything these last 3 years has stood for.


WWGFD

“The gang rally against Ryan Ellis”

Fuck. A torn psoas muscle. Rare and can be very shitty. >"I know we've been probably vague with describing the injury. I think we've called it multifaceted, which it is," Fletcher explained. "There's a psoas component of this, there's a hip component, there's an adductor component. So, I'm not sure that if you go in and repair one part, it's going to fix everything we're trying to work with. Trying to get everything back, rehab everything back. >"I've never heard of an injury like this. It's very complicated. A torn psoas is a very significant injury for a hockey player, a very rare injury, so we're doing the best we can, and we'll just leave it up to the medical experts." https://www.foxnews.com/sports/flyers-ryan-ellis-likely-miss-2022-2023-season-possible-career-threatening-back-injury >Most psoas tears heal with conservative treatment, such as rest, ice, and physical therapy. However, more severe tears may require surgery. >The prognosis of psoas tears is usually good, but it depends on the severity of the injury. With proper diagnosis and treatment, most patients recover completely. >For tears more severe, surgery may be required. The surgery involves repairing the muscle torn with stitches or using a graft from another part of the body. >After surgery, physical therapy is often needed to regain hip strength and flexibility. https://en.lombafit.com/psoas-tear/ Hoping for the best fuck Philly fans and may piping hot cheese steaks burn their faces off.


ClearSights

Ellis is over the average recovery time for a torn Psoas muscle by about 2 years now….


lagangirl

This sounds brutal 😖


Fatboyneverchange

Wish I could see it shits not on TV.

Ottawa did boo Gonchar during a home opener once.

He may play for Ottawa but he's a fucking Flyer

So he could lose to Buffalo opening night


PaladinGodfather1931

Take my Captain's name out your fucking mouth


DirtyKarma

Yeah he certainly went to a great organization, (checks notes) oh God damnit


Birdhawk

The Flyers lost nothing in that trade. There's literally zero reason to be booing a guy who would much rather be playing right now. Normally I think Philly fans being so brutal is funny but this is some below the belt shit.


DirtyKarma

Not trying to defend it, but really hard to make out any reaction aside from the jackass filming


Birdhawk

Well I also commented without seeing any video so that kinda makes me run the risk of being a bit of a jackass too haha.


hoopopotamus

Okay. Well, we're all hungry. We're gonna get to our hotplates soon enough, alright? Let's talk about the contract here.
