We embody Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: the gritty city of brotherly love that declared our country’s Independence; comprised of blue-collar working-class families; and the most die-hard, passionate sports fans in the world! We are PHILLTHY FOR LIFE™! We were raised to embrace the Broad Street Bullies and Buddy’s Bounty Hunters, where class was taught by Dr. J and Moses. Our memories were constructed by individuals named The Hammer and Nails, and were held together by Jaws and strips of black electrical tape. We know the true Wild Thing didn’t star in Major League, but at a place called The Vet. Others might call our city “Philthadelphia,” but not to be outdone, we ranked our beloved city filthier than any other in the country in a recent poll. Yes, we here at Phillthies™, like you other denizens of Phillthy Nation™, take pride in our city’s rugged backbone. For we are not like our neighbors – corporate, soulless, and sold-out like A-Rod’s New York; or gifted in gamesmanship and graft like Belichek’s Boston. Unlike the Cowboys, Yankees or Lakers, the only bandwagon that will carry our teams is named Mummers and comes loud, proud, and struttin’ down Broad Street every year! We are the hard-hitting and industrious city of Rocky and Dawkins whose fault, if any, is that we care too much for our teams and our players. While we may have personally endured the Kotite era, 14 years under Braves dominance, way too many seasons with Lindross, and a cumulative 100 seasons without a title in our four professional teams from 1983 to 2008 – we also feel the collective pain of having the first franchise to reach 10,000 losses in a near century. Yet, we persist: we keep Fightin’ like Frazier, Scrambling like Randall, and Enduring like Iverson because we know our Flying Hawaiian sun will rise again. We are Phillthy for Life™; we are The Phillthies™!
