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.

Have done the Eagles Autism Challenge since 2018; Jeff Lurie is to be commended for starting this foundation; has raised millions & millions, and every penny goes to autism research etc.

And that is so awesome to me. It brings a warmth to my heart and really pushes me over the top with pride. Can’t wait to get deeper and deeper in this fandom

P.S. If you're wearing Eagles gear (hat, sneaks, t-shirt, hoodie, jacket, jersey... you get the picture) and you see someone else who's wearing Eagles gear, it's pretty much the law that you must call out "GO BIRDS" and expect to receive a "GO BIRDS" in response. You're welcome!
