Palin drops puck at Flyers' Home Opener. Gets Boo'ed, A LOT.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TgDanmWkg

According to the vid info, the arena had to increase the music volume to drown out some of the booing lol.

Edit: I forgot to add that only she was originally scheduled to drop the puck, but she brought her daughter along and put her in a Flyers sweater hoping that it would decrease the booing lol. That idea clearly failed lol.

Awesome!!! :D-ZeRoHouR-

how is that awesome?

In Philadelphia? If I were Abraham Lincoln I'd worry about getting booed.duxup

Exactly. Philly fans boo anything and everything. I'd bet her politics had very little to do with it.

[QUOTE="-ZeRoHouR-"]Awesome!!! :DSteelers_86

how is that awesome?

Because she's that shortsighted to know that politics and sports shouldn't be mix.

Yeah, it was pretty painful thing to watch...especially her interview aftwerwards.

Some people are taking it out of proportion. They must not watch sports. CommanderShiro

Indeed, it is booing. If they threw stuff yeah that's not cool, but booing... no big deal.

I'm sure that one guy on OT frustrated you somewhat. lolCommanderShiro

Naw, he just quit reading after a while. Dude took it all politically for some reason. It is booing, just booing.

who didnt see this coming, besides Palin :lol: ?Tjeremiah1988

You've got to think someone at the arena or the team told her what to expect. Heck they had the cheering noise queued up in the PA system there.

Well DUH!

Flyers fans HATE politicians.

She spent all last week in Philly and nobody in this Democratic City can stand her.

If Obama shows up to introduce the 76ers, he'd get a standing oveation - guaranteed.

Philly = Hardcore Democratic City.

booing is still booing no matter what. I am sure all satdiums have some kindof chering noise ready just in case.

where the intevriew link anyone know?

What's really sad is that earlier in an interview Palin said she would stop some of the booing by bringing her daughter out with her. That woman is despicable. dainjah1010

Oh I know...why would anyone in Alaska be a Flyers fan anyway? They can sense the b.s. that the 7 year old doesn't own that jersey. She should have dropped the puck in Dallas.

Are people actually surprised by this? Philly fans booed Santa Claus, they cheered when Michael Irvin was motionless on the ground, and hell they even boo their own teams and players. This was expected to happen, especially because Philly tends to be a more liberal city. Oh and since when do you have to be Vice President to drop a hockey puck at an NHL game?Bobbles

Who cares? The Philly fans boo everyone. They're the worst fans in sports BY FAR. murlow12

Coming from a San Diego fan, that means less than nothing. What an insignificant sports town. The Pats will probably end your season again, with Cassell this time. :lol:

The fact that SD is an insignificant sports town still doesn't change the fact that Philly fans are not true fans. Never have been, never will be.

How so?

Well, she refused to wear a Flyers jeresy so what do you expect?Mr_Satch

:lol: it look like she gave it to the litte evil girl! Maybe they though she look too much like chukkie?

I agree. They're very loyal, but man oh man, Philthy fans are absolutely brutal.

The taunted Joe Jurevicius about his son, shortly after he died. How wrong is that?!?!?!?!

Because a small minority of morons= the entire fanbase?

C'mon now, I know that a great majority of Philadelphia fans would never taunt Jurevicious over the death of his son. But because a few drunk idiots stepped out of line then people think every Philadelphia sports fan is like that, and it's not true. Same thing goes for the Michael Irvin incident(And I HATE Michael Irvin, as does all of Philadelphia, but I know that 80% of eagles fans in that stadium weren't cheering when Irivn got hurt that day, just a few drunk idiots that ruin our reputation)

I'm tired of hearing about the booing of Santa. Philly fans talk about it all the time. "Hell yeah, we booed Santa, we're awesome". Shut the hell up, no one cares that you booed someone dressed in a red suit. They make themselves look so ********. They were treating Pat Burrell like crap this year too....boing him even when he was playing excellent. The guy was on a tear for like 2 weeks, but whenever he struck out, the booing would ensue. They couldn't wait to boo him...they wanted him to fail at every at bat. Philly fans are scum, but I have to say that the 76er fans aren't as bad as the Phillies and Eagles.

But what makes it worse it that the Phillies are going to the WS this year most likely. I feel bad for Phillies fans. There is nothing to boo at right now. Maybe Pat will strike out in Game 1 and you Philly "fans" can do what you do best and boooooo boooooooooo booooooooooooooooooo all game long.

Maybe its because Philly fans drink Golden Monkey beer...its really high in ABV.

CrimzonTide- I totally agree with you. all teams are like this all fans are. though this why i dont boo people.

Is beause i know how hard to play. the people who left the red sox game i look at them as a bandwangor fans. though even though they left there was still plenty of people in fenway.
