This is the saddest shit ever:

Unbelievable turnout in Philly‼️ (used to live here and they are NOT used to this)

Thanks to @TailgateTed for amazing experience

The reason Commie fans were able to take over the Hard Rock Cafe is because no one goes there. Do you even know where it is? It’s on Market Street, a couple of blocks down from City Hall. It’s a tourist place. Nobody from Philadelphia, not even the suburbs, goes to the Hard Rock. It’s a dinner or lunch place for out of towners who go to the Convention Center. It would be like us standing in front of the Washington Monument and claiming that we took over D.C. And what’s worse is that the guy in the video, “Tailgate Ted,” is a pickleball enthusiast and has a profile picture showing him at some pickleball courts. There is no worse combination than a Washington Commanders fan who also loves pickleball. Fuck Tailgate Ted. Go Birds!

EDIT – of course they had a pre-booked private room. What a takeover! –

I mean to plan it in advance and call it a takeover out of all the places in the city to pick – is a choice. pic.twitter.com/4UHGwotKxU
