Sports in Philadelphia February 19th, 2010
One thing that is inarguable about the city of Philadelphia is the amount of passion that is contained, and sometimes not contained in its sports fans. Sports are a significant part of social orientation in this city as they are for major cities across the nation and it’s interesting to consider the culture of a city based on its orientation to sports. It becomes immediately obvious to guests in some of Philadelphia’s hotels how important sports are to the city. It’s equally interesting to consider city’s in relationship to their arts scene though to look at it in a combined fashion can sometimes be most interesting of all.
Philadelphia also has some amazing entertainment venues and cultural landmarks that contribute to its overall dynamic, atmosphere and cultural make up. It’s important to remember that this was once the second largest cultural, educational and commercial centers of the British Empire and it plays a prominent role in the development of the country. All of this early ambition, passion and cultural significance are expressed in the sports and arts communities of the city.
The Philadelphia Eagles are the city’s major football team and football is one of the more popular sports in the city. The Eagles have three NFL titles under their wings and have been in the Super Bowl twice though they have not yet won one. The 76ers are the NBA team for the city and this is also a popular sport. There are general sports fans and then there are sports specific fans and it’s interesting to find out which sport a particular person follows though they’re likely to be equally passionate about it regardless. Sports are an integral component of Philadelphian society as are the arts though the passion for them are expressed differently by the fans. It’s interesting that both aspects of society engage in important community make up and expressions for any city.
