Girl handled it better than I did in 93 and I was 16 at the time.
“I wanted to go to the parade.”
Hard same. My folks didn’t let me attend the ’08 parade, and my buddy got married the weekend of the ’17 parade. Two parades in my lifetime and I’ve missed both… and being a Philly sports fan, I’m not guaranteed another!
Yep
I’ve been hearing about strategies to help people be more resilient in society, just grow up a Philadelphia sports fan, youll be able to handle anything.
Theyre… they’re not good?
Never have been.
Flyers catchin well deserved strays
I don’t like how closely I relate
I was 10 when the flyers got into the nhl finals. I remember 93, but really I just remember Joe Carter’s walk off and my dad screaming fuck really loud. But 97 I remember just being so into the flyers. They were down 3-0 against the redwings and I remember my dad saying after the 3rd loss, “it’s over” and I said to my dad “no they can still win 4 in a row dad don’t give up”. And he said “no, Johnnycoxxx, they can’t. It’s over”. That man properly crushed my spirits at the ripe age of 10. He did me a service
“This is what a philadelphia sports fan feels like”
… Yes, yes it is. I’m starting to think that I was incredibly lucky to get that eagles superbowl parade because I don’t think I’m getting another one for any sport.
Aww poor kid lol. But same girl. At least we can all cry together lmao
