Why Phillies Fans Are Barbarians<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDad, can I run on the field?\u201d the soon-to-be Tasered 17 year old son asked.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think you should, son,\u201d the dad replied.<\/p>\n \u201cThis would be a once in a lifetime experience.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The dad shook his head. But sometime in the eighth inning the son made his move anyway. He jumped the fence, bolted onto the outfield grass, and eluded two security officers before he was finally zapped with 50,000 volts in left-center field.<\/p>\n The Philadelphia security guard\u2019s use of the Taser on the fan sparked national outrage this May. The anger was righteous. He should have tasered 44,816 more fans that were in attendance that night.<\/p>\n Put simply, Philadelphia fans are barbarians. They are a trashy, motley breed that has booed Santa Claus. They have been known to pelt players that jilt the team with D-cell batteries. They have even cheered when opposing players get hurt.<\/p>\n
