Councilman Wants More Done At Ballpark
Kenney: Unruly Fans Should Be Ejected, Arrested
PHILADELPHIA - Some say the kind of craziness and devotion exhibited recently at the ballpark are what Philadelphia sports fans are known for.
But Philadelphia City Councilman Jim Kenney, who helped start Eagles court at the old Veterans Stadium, wants more done at the Phillies' new ballpark.
"If you have, you know, 1 percent knuckleheads, you're going to have people around those knuckleheads who have a bad time," Kenney said Tuesday.
Kenney says unruly fans should be ejected from the game and arrested on the spot.
"To have some drunken cretin two rows behind you wrecking it for your family or for your kids, I think that needs to be – they need to pay some kind of price for that," Kenney said.
How do fans feel about this long-standing reputation of being, well, bullies?
"I think its unfair, sort of, to put a blanket over everybody like that, but it's just the way it is," one fan told Fox 29's Sharon Crowley on Tuesday. "It doesn't really sound much like Brotherly Love, but I think those things would probably go on everywhere. You just don't hear about it as much."
