Justification I have been an Eagles fan all my life.
Growing up as a kid my family would take frequent trips to my aunt’s house which is located in the Philadelphia area so Philadelphia essentially became a home away from home for me. The Philadelphia Eagles are the only NFL team I have ever gone to see too.
