Being a midwest kid, Carson Wentz has to look at that type of behavior and be as disgusted as we are. I would like to see him as their "star" player be a vocal leader for fan accountability in Philly. If they wont listen to their on field leader, then the league really has to start looking at the issue of fan safety for those attending their events. the very fact that this type of behavior is rampant and ongoing, with no action from the league, says to me that the league has liability if this type of shit is taking place on event grounds.
Little pollyanna today Jimmy? 
Somehow I think Wentz is going to become more NE over time than take a stance as you've articulated it. Perhaps my jaded view of human nature, but he's just a young, impressionable 20 some year old.
he either is or isnt the person he claims to be, if he is truly a vocal Christian leader that he says he is, this is the type of stance a Christian leader would take. this type of behavior makes God sad.

Sigh...the Bring It Home SB hanky would've been a definite purchase...
Thanks Tom! You and Pete and those doing the camera work (I don't know your names but you know who you are) did a wonderful job this year covering our team!! Looking forward to your great work in 2018 and beyond !!
And we own one of only 10 that will ever be made. They were higher quality, but I liked art on the ones in white better. The white was more intimidating when waved by 66,000+ fans.
Not sure how intimidating 66,000 people waving white surrender flags would be
Appropriate...yes

Who's to say those same Eagles fans aren't a bunch of good Christians too? I'll bet plenty of them were at church earlier that day; had communion, got their sins forgiven, then released out into the world to act like a bunch of drunken animals at the tailgate. Then next week they ask for forgivness again (rinse and repeat). B)

I agree, its not his job to step up and speak out against this shit... its not anybodies job, but it doesnt mean that it doesnt have to be done. sometimes doing the right thing isnt easy, but it still needs to be done.
I love all the excuses for why something doesnt get done.... like most things that are uncomfortable but necessary... people spend more time making excuses for why they wont do them than it would take to just do them. ( I know this isnt Carson talking) but to say he cant speak out because the fans would turn on him... newflash, they will turn on him anyway... remember what those worthless pieces of shit have done to warrant the discussion.
thanks for sharing Happy.

If Wentz makes criticizing Philadelphia residents his personal cause, do you think he's going to get the kind of endorsement deals a starting NFL QB can enjoy?? "I'm ashamed of the fans of this team and people of this city"... How would that play there, or anywhere? Compare it to Peterson telling reporters that his wife didn't like Minnesota, and I would assume Wentz would get at least 10x the hate Peterson did. He might generate anger near the Kaepernick level, within that city. And Wentz might have a Super Bowl winner as his backup next year, hardly a recipe for popularity.
Don't put this on Wentz, he didn't throw any punches.
