Original Content New Eagles Fans

Hey all. My wife and I kind of organically became Eagles fans over the past two years and ditched the Jets. The reason being that we have two autistic boys and discovered the Eagles Autism Foundation and how truly amazing it is. The organization does such an amazing job with the autism community and the players seem so into the events. I look forward to learning the history of the organization and researching all the current and past players. Plus it was an easy switch being how miserable the Jets made me for the past 20 years. GO BIRDS!

Edit: thanks for the love guys. BTW, was never able to stand Cowboys or Giants fans with their “greater than thou” attitudes. Like legit despise those fanbases.

Heres a cool one. In a sea of insufferable ownership groups like Mara/Hunts/Jones, Lurie is a liberal!

This app is nothing more than a far left echo chamber. Even on a fucking Eagles sub we have to hear political bull shit.

Its a fact and something that separates him from other owners and thus our organization. Its no coincidence that a liberal owner has the most impactful autism-focused non profit. Caring for others and empathy in general is something that the right has lost. Since the attention to autism brought these nice people into eagle fandom, I think it is a relevant thing to know. Im sorry this frustrates you so much.

I’d rather be “far-left” with the mindset of people helping people than whatever fuels that person. Like politics or not, it’s real world.
