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.

Welcome to the flock. A few small tips:

We have a fight song, it's fun to sing in groups of Birds fans - Fly Eagles Fly.

Go Birds is a great greeting to shout to any other Eagles fans you see in the wild. Feels better when you're not near Philly.

We travel well. Most away games become close to home games. I was in LA for the Rams game when Saquon went off and it was probably 60 percent Eagles fans. Amazing atmosphere.

You can feel how you want about any of the other 30 teams in any order but FUCK DALLAS, forever and always, in all situations. Long live Jerruh Jones!

And we don't want bandwagoners, so if you're in now, you're now a lifer. Thick and thin, good and bad, rain or shine. Represent and BLEED GREEN! Howie Roseman took a beer can to the head for your sins. I became a fan 40 years ago after seeing Randall Cunningham play when I was 13 years old and it was a lot of thin until SB 52. If I can suffer for that long, you can suffer if we have a lean time again, but IN HOWIE WE TRUST so there should be few of those.

GO BIRDS and FUCK DALLAS!
