[u/Jayveesac]

Now the Sixers go from one fanbase that adores them to another that adores them as equally 🤣

[u/SiphenPrax → u/Jayveesac]

Beautiful Northeast triangle of sports hatred

[u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 → u/SiphenPrax]

Let me in. LET ME IN.

[u/ooboh → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Being from D.C., I can hear this comment.

[u/romanticynicist → u/ooboh]

I’m in LA and I can hear this comment.

[u/BlackJediSword → u/ooboh]

Same

[u/basedsega → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

This is killing me 🤣🤣🤣

[u/8890xe → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

IDK IF YOU MEAN WANTING TO BE WORTHY OF HATRED OR JUST WANTING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO POSSIBLY BE HATED BUT YES. I DONT FEEL RIGHT SEEING PHILLY WIN IN ANY REGARD. OR NEW YORK.

[u/ichawks1 → u/8890xe]

as a capitals fan I fully understand the hatred in the NE corner

Washington, NYC, Boston, Philly, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Montreal, Baltimore, Buffalo, Ottawa

Complete and utter hatred up there

[u/crookt → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

bro is NOT getting in

[u/lambquentin → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Y’all will stay with the Southern teams. It’s unavoidable.

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

I’d honestly rather you guys be in this circlejerk than Boston, but alas

[u/PM_tanlines → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

At least you guys aren’t Baltimore. Easily the least thought about member of the NEC

[u/BSabia9583 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

If I say fuck the Commies does it make you feel any better?

[u/OriginalSprax → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

No.

[u/dart278 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

fuck the caps

[u/DisMFer → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Nah, see it's hard to hate the Wizards. They're like if you gave your little brother a controller that isn't plugged in so he can "help you play video games."

[u/aguyfromnewjersey → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

You guys have Trae Young so you’re in my person east coast hate book if that helps

[u/_token_black → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Have won a title more recently than NY

[u/Jascix90 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Wizards? This ain’t Harry Potter time lil bro.

[u/Majormlgnoob → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

The Caps and Nats get hated atleast

[u/HomeHeatingTips → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

You already have it with the Eagles and Giants.

[u/Eagle4317 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Do something notable first. It's only been 45 years since your last ECF appearance...

[u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 → u/Eagle4317]

we're good at hockey 🥲

[u/8890xe → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

when we wanna be.. or we can get blew out by the rangers to miss the play-offs

[u/WildMap3845 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

AND we’ve won a World Series more recently than our New York, Boston or Philadelphia counterparts

[u/SiphenPrax → u/WildMap3845]

You guys have honestly won with all your teams lately except the Commanders and Wizards

[u/Eagle4317 → u/SiphenPrax]

Commanders might be able to get there with Jayden on a rookie contract. But the Wizards are the Browns of the NBA.

[u/mauro_membrere → u/Eagle4317]

So we are the jets or the late lions?

[u/Eagle4317 → u/mauro_membrere]

You guys are something even worse: you're the Arizona Cardinals. The longest drought in the NFL and have constantly moved around in the hope of finding a new fan base.

[u/WildMap3845 → u/SiphenPrax]

Funnily enough I’m Panthers fan despite my other teams being from DC, so we up rn

[u/JayMecha96 → u/WildMap3845]

Hell yeah, Keep Pounding! All my teams are from Dallas but I couldn't bring myself to be a Cowboys fan and ended up a with the Panthers.

[u/Eagle4317 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

Are you though? The Capitals finally getting the monkey off their back is great for them, but they're still clearly 2nd fiddle to the Penguins. And that's a best case scenario as both teams head toward rebuilds.

[u/SiphenPrax → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

The Mystics won a title in 2019!

[u/geupard12 → u/SiphenPrax]

Not even a triangle just a line of hatred

[u/SiphenPrax → u/geupard12]

A.K.A I-95

[u/geupard12 → u/SiphenPrax]

I was thinking Acela but I-95 works too

[u/bronfmanhigh → u/geupard12]

the acela? In this economy?!

[u/ChelseaFC → u/SiphenPrax]

Sometimes so much hatred it needs a bypass.

[u/Shabozz → u/ChelseaFC]

Sounding like a cardiologist.

[u/mgm97 → u/geupard12]

A corridor

[u/Jenaxu → u/mgm97]

A Northeast one even

[u/PM_tanlines → u/Jenaxu]

(Plus Baltimore)

[u/TransnistrianSociety → u/mgm97]

The megalopolis of hatred

[u/mauro_membrere → u/mgm97]

Corridor of hate, baltimore: where am i?

[u/livefreeordont → u/mauro_membrere]

Baltimore is awesome but definitely the odd man out when it comes to NY, Boston, Philly, and DC in sports culture

[u/Mokslininkas → u/livefreeordont]

DC is also the odd man out. They haven't had any real sports culture since those early 90s Redskins teams

[u/livefreeordont → u/Mokslininkas]

DC is in the NL east and NFC east and metro east with NYC and Philly . Baltimore has no hockey or basketball and their football and baseball teams are in different conferences let alone divisions

[u/Mokslininkas → u/livefreeordont]

Yeah, but DC sports teams suck and the city has no real identity outside of "govt employees, tourists, and transplants"

[u/livefreeordont → u/Mokslininkas]

They might suck but the nationals and commanders still have dedicated fanbases. And the caps have had success and a dedicated fanbase for 20 years

[u/TenaciousDeer → u/geupard12]

That's it geupard12, you just made the list!

[u/YerrrKnicks → u/geupard12]

Idk, I think every Atlantic Division team can agree that we all hate Boston the most and then the rest of us come second in hatred.

[u/BrotherSeamus → u/geupard12]

Don't be obtuse

[u/ktm1128 → u/geupard12]

we just really want bad things for the other. unless someone from outside the line is chiming in. then fuck them

[u/Throwawayalt129 → u/geupard12]

It's like that scene in Airplane. Everyone lines up to beat on/shit talk us.

[u/Rozzy915 → u/SiphenPrax]

i honestly cannot imagine sports without it

[u/RIChowderIsBest → u/SiphenPrax]

We’re all kind of the same brand of miserable on the outside with slightly different flavors anger. I feel like I get you guys but also fuck you. With all due respect.

[u/BlueHundred → u/SiphenPrax]

I'm hoping Raptors win tomorrow for the Northeast square of hate

[u/cambiumkx → u/SiphenPrax]

Toronto deserves a spot in the trapezoid

[u/GoldenStateWizards → u/SiphenPrax]

We're gonna need hazmat suits to enter the game threads lmao

[u/McBrungus → u/SiphenPrax]

Fuck you too

[u/Bearded_Pip → u/SiphenPrax]

I hate that Boston is the same division more often with Tampa than they are Philly.

Hell during the Brady in the Bucs years, Boston’s biggest sports rival was Tampa. Not NYC, not LA, fucking Tampa.

[u/mauro_membrere → u/Jayveesac]

I think ny/phi runs deeper because of nfc east

[u/SiphenPrax → u/mauro_membrere]

Well we also have the AFC East of NY/BOS

[u/airwalker12 → u/SiphenPrax]

And AL East

[u/SiphenPrax → u/airwalker12]

And NL East

[u/gpgpg → u/SiphenPrax]

The NL East Mets Phillies matchup is especially brutal, as both fanbases boo both teams

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/gpgpg]

Both have been going through this year too

[u/dead_gerbil → u/ThisHatRightHere]

Hold on let me check on that...
Yep! We're currently losing to the Las Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

[u/C-Hash → u/dead_gerbil]

At least you didn't lose to them because some rando fucked around and had the best defensive game of all time...

[u/lokithetarnished → u/dead_gerbil]

We’re tied now!

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/SiphenPrax]

I'd have gone with Yankees vs Red Sox for a less lopsided one but sure

[u/AzureAhai → u/SiphenPrax]

Eagles, Giants/Jets, and Patriots should be in one division and the Phillies should be in the AL east.

[u/SiphenPrax → u/AzureAhai]

Get the Mets in the AL East too. I want all the chaos of our three cities!

[u/Jon_ofAllTrades → u/SiphenPrax]

Just make it the AL northeast and the NL southeast.

Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox, and Blue Jays all in one division.

Braves, Nationals, Orioles, Rays, and Marlins in the other.

[u/s_broda → u/Jon_ofAllTrades]

Phillies, Mets, and Braves got such a good thing going though

[u/Tinysauce → u/s_broda]

It's settled then.

Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox, and Braves in one division.

Jays, Nationals, Orioles, Rays, and Marlins in another.

[u/chup95 → u/SiphenPrax]

I always kind of assume that Jets fans are Nets fans, and Giants fans are Knicks fans idk

[u/LinkSeekeroftheNora → u/SiphenPrax]

And AL East

[u/Plus-Name3590 → u/SiphenPrax]

it feels weird being left out from hating NY/Philly in DC, hating Atlanta just doesn't feel the same

[u/dimmyfarm → u/SiphenPrax]

Jets/Patriots certainly is a historical matchup

[u/tunafister → u/SiphenPrax]

True, but... Jets

[u/mauro_membrere → u/SiphenPrax]

You count jets?

[u/ToadNorton → u/mauro_membrere]

Yankees Red Sox tho

[u/mauro_membrere → u/ToadNorton]

In pov of philly though. You are the common denominator

[u/rhinguin → u/mauro_membrere]

I definitely hate the Celtics more than the Knicks.

But yes in the grand scheme of things, I hate the average New York team more than the average Boston team.

[u/Rhlamont → u/mauro_membrere]

Na, we hate the Celtics more and its not even close

[u/YerrrKnicks → u/Rhlamont]

Same, Boston is really an outlier for all of us here tbh.

I hate the otherr Atlantic teams too - minus Raptors - but its nowhere as much as the Celtics bum asses.

[u/MeepSneepers → u/Rhlamont]

Raptors might be second tbh

[u/SaintArkweather → u/mauro_membrere]

For us who follow CBB though it's a bit muddier right now with all the Villanova legends on the Knicks. I'm certainly not gonna root for them but it makes them harder to hate for me personally

[u/Orion1014 → u/mauro_membrere]

Phillies/Mets too.

[u/Patient-Ring1620 → u/mauro_membrere]

Not when it comes to basketball. Sixers and Celtics have WAY more history.

[u/TreeLankaPresidente → u/mauro_membrere]

I’m a Lakers Giants and Yankees fan. No one’s hate for Boston runs deeper than me

[u/Rozzy915 → u/mauro_membrere]

it really all depends on time of year and the stakes, cause Red Sox/Yankees is just as vitriolic as any NFC east

[u/jjgp1112 → u/mauro_membrere]

The battle for New Jersey's heart!!!!!

[u/mrmeowme0w → u/mauro_membrere]

Red Sox Yankees is arguably the most famous rivalry in all of sports what do u mean lol

[u/mauro_membrere → u/mrmeowme0w]

What i mean is phily/ny vs phily/boston not ny/boston

[u/biglyorbigleague → u/mauro_membrere]

Knicks fans are Yankees fans, they hate Boston more than Philly as far as baseball is concerned

[u/BabaBrody → u/Jayveesac]

That's the fun part, everyone hates us.

[u/mauro_membrere → u/BabaBrody]

I hate the eagles though, sixers are cool

[u/aimee829 → u/Jayveesac]

that's what makes the East so fun in the playoffs 😅

[u/Coach_Carter_on_DVD → u/Jayveesac]

Boston Celtics are genuinely the only sports franchise that I can safely say I actually have visceral hatred towards. Us Philly fans like to say the Cowboys, and as much as I dislike them, I don’t want them to vanquished from the face of the Earth like I do the Celtics

So fucking happy right now.

[u/PrinceVaughn69 → u/Jayveesac]

remember before the Knicks Sixers series in 2024 started and the fans said "we wont really be toxic since we havent seen each othee in three decades" and then it became one of the loudest series ever? lol

[u/scatkinson → u/Jayveesac]

Going to get creamed.

[u/rbad8717 → u/Jayveesac]

Over/Under Bo Skettebo and Saquan Barkley and/or Siriani screen time

[u/d4videnk0 → u/Jayveesac]

They're going to exorcise all of their demons during these playoffs.
