{{FAQ
|q1=Are Philadelphia sports fans really that bad?
|a1=Philadelphia fans are intense, demanding, and unforgiving—but they're not random in their hostility. They demand effort and authenticity. Players who embrace the city (Brian Dawkins, Allen Iverson, Jason Kelce) become beloved legends. Those who don't are run out of town.

|q2=Did Philadelphia fans really boo Santa Claus?
|a2=Yes, on December 15, 1968, Eagles fans threw snowballs at a replacement Santa during a halftime show at a losing season's finale. It's become Philadelphia's defining sports moment. Most Philadelphians find it funny and embrace the notoriety.

|q3=Why do Philadelphia fans boo their own team?
|a3=Philadelphia fans boo when effort is lacking—not when teams lose while trying hard. It's a demand for accountability. The same fans who boo will give standing ovations to struggling players who give maximum effort. It's about standards, not cruelty.

|q4=What does "No one likes us, we don't care" mean?
|a4=It's from Jason Kelce's legendary 2018 Super Bowl parade speech (itself borrowed from an English football chant). It encapsulates Philadelphia's attitude: awareness of their negative reputation, combined with defiant pride in their identity. Philadelphia doesn't need outside validation.
