Well I don't think you get the total dickheadness that is Philly and Boston, in say Arizona or Seattle amongst cities that have at least three of the the major sports.
I think because these are "major" markets, and large fan bases, they feel entitled to winning teams, actually the psychology of why they're so pissy is far too complicated for this short missive. Y
Granted Yankee fans are douches as well, but I'm talking more about across the board fans for cities that have most major sports teams.
My problem with the Yankee fans is mostly jealousy, I wish the A's were as "successful" and not the major choke artists they've become, but really the rest of the NY teams blow, and the Yanks haven't won lately so I can take solice in that.
And even though it was at the A's expense, to see the Sox comeback and beat the Yankees, or the Diamondbacks win in 7 a couple of years earlier was fantastic as a fan of the sport.
Philly fans at the games (football, basketball, hockey, and baseball) I've seen in person are rude to their fellow fans, their team, and their facility almost as much as they are to opposing fans and teams, so I think they are just generally assholes and it's way beyond what the average fan in most cities act like (granted I haven't seen games in every city, but I have in every AL & AFC city so it's based on more than just a handful of impressions). Boston isn't as bad, but I think I'm also just bitter about losses to those cheatin ass sox and pats.

Yeah, like Yankee fans are the model of politeness.
What cities actually have well behaved sports fans?

Man you really ARE thinking like a canadian if you think ANYTHING associated with the city of Philadelphia can/would ever be gracious, hands down worst sports town/fans in the country with only Boston fans breathing down their necks at a semi-close second, the difference being in Philly they never* win shit...
