| Summary: | "We don't like most of the chants," said Marvin Blugh, a 25-year-old from Brooklyn who bought season tickets in the bleachers this year. "Feels like we're ripping off the other teams." While the guys aren't sure about all the songs the supporters' section are signing, the one chant the guys all agree on is one that came up organically, by a fan at the opening game, who loudly proclaimed "New York City ain't nothing to (expletive) with," a chant derived from the Wu-Tang Clan song. The other chants may feel more like soccer chants, but this expletive-ridden ode to Wu-Tang felt the most real and seemed to best capture the attitude of the standing masses in the cheap seats. "I hate Philly," said [Edwin Diaz], as he exited the bleachers. "I hate the Flyers. I hate the Eagles and now I hate the Union." He paused, then looked back at the field, shaking his head. "And Jay Z's Made in America Festival? The one he holds in Philly? Screw that, too." |
