It’s playoff time, which means, you guessed, people tweeting things about Wayne Simmonds that they’ll probably regret.

Flyers Fans Give Carcillo the Finger, Rangers Fans Call Simmonds the N-word and a Monkey

Wow.
Sickening…only Russians deserve such treatment.
THE CHAIRMAN Ed Snider
Keep supporting the Flyers…..SUCKERS!!!
NYC is the most important and classy city in the world even though we never leave it and will spawn for gaylords that will also never leave it.
People just have no class anymore. Doesn’t matter what fan base it is or if they’re even fans.
Anymore?
Were people LESS racist previously?
People have always been like this (fuck the word “class” describing people anyway- it’s unquantifiable and stupid).
You’re right that it doesn’t matter what fanbase it is, or if they’re fans.
But it’s nothing new.
Has these poeple seen MY twitters page? I make Wanye Simunds look like Queen Elizibith.
Mike we out of funyons. #funyonrun
Guarantee most of these ignorant bums don’t even know that anyone can easily search twitter and see their tweets.
I just don’t understand how someone can attach their face and name to such hateful comments. Hopefully these are fake accounts people created so they can say whatever they want.
Either way, social media is ruining us all. Twitter is great for news and updates but there is absolutely no reason for some average schmo to give his/her opinion. Nobody cares!
This.
Agreed. Sadly, I would bet most of these are real people and their real accounts. The new rule for twitter should be, if you won’t say it to someone’s face then don’t tweet it. People are just so classless anymore. And that goes for everywhere, not just Philly or New York. It’s all over, all cities, all races, all fan bases, small towns, big towns, anywhere and everywhere.
Crackas please. As much covert and overt racist drivel that gets posted on this site daily? With grand Dragon Cyle Scott leading the way? LMAOY’all CAC’s got the nerve to feign righteous indignation? Get the kcuf outta here.
Didn’t know we still lived in the Civil War Era…New York Trash
Fucking sad
All fan bases have a lot of stupid fans that don’t represent the majority. Why post their dumb remarks and glorify their stupidity? Really ignorant blog to post…
Rangers in 6!
You must be new here.
Get off this site, you pussy.
Haha sorry tity lover, I’ll try to use smaller words next time
Wow! That is so offensive. It reads likes a Crossing Broad comment section!
winner!!!
Racism won’t bring back the towers NY fans. Karma
You’re an idiot
Here we go again with this site trolling New York fans. Hey pal, racism exists in every city & Philly has the biggest trash of them all.
BTW; The Flyers looked disorganized and have no plan of attack. The Rangers are clearly the better team and they will not take their foot off the pedal come Friday when they will take a 3-1 lead in the series. (1975)
Rangers in 5!
I’m not so sure the Rangers could even make the playoffs without Lundqvist.
Yeah, but he is…?
And Talbot was 12-6 this year, so…
You just blogged this photo yesterday. WTF?
And nice job feeding the racist tendencies on this blog.
This blog has gone downhill fast in the past 3 months.
Fran is the only guy who got a theater boner during 12 Years A Slave
If Simmonds played on the rangers, you know damn well that there would be flyers fans doing the same thing. The only difference is that it wouldn’t show up on this site. Instead some loser in NY that copy and pastes other people’s work all day would post it on their blog instead.
Kyle posts this because if it were Philly fans doing it, it would be a national media shitstorm, you stupid fucks.
Wow how classless can they be. To give a finger is one thing as it is a universal symbol but to call someone the “N” word knowing what that word means and especially in the world we live in today? Really, Did they call the Players on their beloved Yankee team that also? Carcillo deserves the finger. The guy has been on how many teams? He should not even be in the NHL. I say we send Rinaldo out on Carcillo and beat the crap out of him!
Carcillo shouldn’t be in the NHL? He had 2 goals in the series, same as your superstar, advanced to the next round and has a cup under his belt. Don’t you have some dishes to wash or something?
Can’t we all just get along…
Prepare to be emancipated from your own inferior genes!
These guys are low-lifes, but come on Kyle. You know there would be Philly fans chirping the n-word if Simmonds were a Ranger. It doesn’t matter which city the tweets are coming from. Every fanbase has racist pigs who spout off anything behind their keyboard. I’m a Philly fan and this just seems like a lame shot at the Rangers fanbase because we lost the other night.
i’m curious to know if there are there any racist tweets towards simmonds from flyers fans who were angry during the game(s)
What is wrong with these people, most of them use their real names. Its incredibly easy to look them up on fb and find where they work and report them if you wanted. I’m not saying I would do that but this is an easy way to get fired
Oh sure…Philly is the model for political correctness, racial harmony and well behaved sports fans. If it were the reverse, you mouth-breathers would have thrown bananas on the ice.
