Joe Rogan: Joe Rogan highlights dark side of Philadelphia Eagles fanbase in eye-opening take on NFL passion

On episode #2297 of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, comedian Francis Foster and author Konstantin Kisin joined Joe Rogan. During their conversation, they discussed the passion of Philadelphia Eagles fans for their team and the darker side of the fanbase's intense loyalty.

Rogan explained that Eagles fans take their devotion to another level, emphasizing that attending a game as a fan of a rival team is practically inviting trouble, which could lead to a physical confrontation. He said:

“You'll fight you in Philadelphia if you don't like the Eagles, they will fight you. Like if you go to a Philadelphia Eagles game and you're from another team, they will beat your f**king a** and it happens all the time. That's crazy.”

While sports rivalries are common and often fuel debates, the UFC commentator questioned the deeper implications of such extreme loyalty. He pointed out how fans view fellow citizens as enemies and called it "the dumbest thing." Rogan said:

“You're both Americans. Like, this is the dumbest thing of all time. Like, one's from a different city, so they're your enemy because they support a different football team? We do it with everything.”
