Rams Linebacker Says He Hates Eagles Fans and is Triggered by Green and White
Sorry for the slow start this morning, had to handle some important middle manager stuff for the company. Anyway, get a load of this guy (via Gary Klein at the LA Times) –
Jared Verse spent three years of high school in Pennsylvania.
So the Rams rookie edge rusher knows all about the Philadelphia Eagles, his team’s opponent Sunday in an NFC divisional-round playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field.
Was Verse an Eagles fan?
“I hate Eagles fans,” Verse told The Times on Thursday. “They’re so annoying. I hate Eagles fans.”
…
Verse noted that when the Rams played the Eagles in November at SoFi Stadium, Eagles fans gave him an earful of obscenities that he could make out despite wearing headphones.
“I didn’t even do nothing to ‘em,” he said. “It was my first time playing. Oh, I hate Eagles fans.”
Apparently the Eagles’ colors also are triggering.
“When I see that green and white I hate it,” he said. “I actually get upset. Like I actually genuinely get hot.”
People are going to say that this is “bulletin board material,” but I disagree. Sure, Verse may get himself booed into oblivion on Sunday afternoon, but Eagles fans have been generally unstable over the last few weeks and don’t need any extra motivation for the NFC Divisional Round. It wasn’t even seven days ago that Dunph was throwing down with some guy in the parking lot while Mr. DEI in the nosebleeds was calling that female Packers fan a dumb and ugly cunt. So this fan base doesn’t need to be riled up any more than it already is. The fuse on the powder keg had already been lit.
