As I was doing my daily Google search of “hate+pittsburgh penguins” to see if someone had doctored photos of the face of Sidney Crosby on a crying infant’s body so I didn’t have to, I stumbled upon this laughable list of “justifiable” reasons Pittsburgh has to hate Philadelphia.
They’re still unable to get over, and I wasn’t aware they even cared about hockey before Crosby entered the league, a goal they scored on themselves in 1979 to help the Flyers continue their epic 35-game winning streak. Honestly this list is pretty weak. As Philadelphia fans, we’re experts on displeasure. So allow me to try and help you out Pittsburgh with a list of my own.
5 Actual Reasons for Pittsburgh to hate Pittsburgh
Your own quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, nearly killed himself in the off-season while riding his motorcycle without a helmet.- You paid Big Ben to stick around for 8 more years drunk pictures and motorcycle accidents for a cool price of $102 million.
- The Pittsburgh Pirates haven’t even been a .500 team since…wait for it…1992.
Your hockey team, and city were featured in a ridiculous rip off of Die Hard.- The Penguins are 0-3 against the Flyers in playoff series. By the way the last time the Penguins went up 2-0 on the Flyers, this happened…

Haha…you forgot to say why Pittsburgh loves Philadelphia. For having a soft hockey team that’s about to be swept. Good luck keeping your free agents with no cap room next year morons, I’ll see you on Thursday with the brooms.
Oh yeah, you can make fun of the Steelers when you actually win one Super Bowl like Steelers have done….wait for it….five times. Good luck with the Phillies chumps!
