Done with the Birds? Prove it | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/18/2009
Let's be honest: Eagles fans are passionate and excitable. There's always something that angries up the blood. I'm not trying to trivialize the reaction to the Vick signing. Of all the flash points that have made people swear off the Eagles in the past, what Vick did was by far the most barbarous and wicked. But this isn't the first time people have renounced their allegiance to the Eagles, and it certainly won't be the last.

I liked the article about people saying they are done with the Eagles, I especially like this part.

But you’re still finished with the Eagles, right? You’re sticking to your decision?

OK. Let’s see if you’re really serious. Send your single-game and season tickets to your Page 2 pals here at the Inquirer: 400 N. Broad St., Philadelphia 19130. We’ll donate them to charity or, if you want the seats to remain empty in a powerful symbolic gesture, we’ll be happy to burn them on your behalf. We’ll even publish the names of the brave souls in this very space.

or sell their tickets … chances are if you are willing to no longer be a fan of the Eagles you were never much of a fan in the first place so I highly doubt you have season tickets or even single game tickets. Clowns.
