WELP, Vikings fans in Philadelphia this morning went and did quite possibly the most disrespectful thing you can do in that city. Outside of calling a cheesesteak a “Philly cheesesteak”, I don’t think it can get much worse than messing with the Rocky statue.
Now we definitely have a war on our hands. It was all fun and games when people in Minneapolis were comparing Eagles fans to gang members, but once the statue of a fictional movie character that represents everything the city is about gets vandalized, all bets are off in Philly.
“This may not be received well by the locals” may be the understatement of the century. Now it’s time to watch your back, Vikings fans, you are officially cooking with gas.

Of course, it didn’t end there with Vikings faithful. They took to the Rocky steps as well and did their Skol chant. It’s definitely not as chills-inducing as the Mall of America video was, but this one cuts deep. The utter disrespect that they have displayed this morning is nothing short of remarkable.

I look forward to the inevitable fight videos later tonight.
The city of Philadelphia came prepared today
Good morning from Philly where crews from the city are greasing the light poles with Crisco to prevent #Eagles fans from climbing after the #NFCChampionshipGame tonight. #Vikings pregame coverage starts at 3 on FOX9. They call themselves the #CriscoCops pic.twitter.com/w1ZkYWZhYG
