Philadelphia Eagles fans really did boo Santa Claus. Of course, it wasn't the real Santa, but rather a 170 pound draftee who was plucked from the stands when the real Santa failed to show up. "Santa" claims he wasn't drunk, altho, folks who were there testify that he was stumbling.
Hilarious.
p.s. From an article in USA Today:
ReplyDelete"Olivo [the fake Santa that day]says he has no hard feelings. 'I'm a Philadelphia fan, I knew what was what. I thought it was funny,' he is quoted as saying.
But Olivo recalls that when he was asked if he might want to play Santa again the next season, he balked. 'No way. If it doesn't snow, they'll probably throw beer bottles.'"
