Mike Scott On What Happened During Fight With Eagles Fan

Remember when on NFL opening week, Virginia born Philadelphia 76ers forward, Mike Scott fought Philadelphia Eagles fans?! Scott has been a Washington Redskins fan ever since he was a kid. So for the Philadelphia Eagles home opener against said Redskins, Scott decided to make a bold move and wear a Redskins jersey to the game. It turned out to not be the smartest idea ever, as Scott, almost expectedly, ended up getting into a fight with Philly fans over it.

Now during the Sixers Media Day, Scott explained what happened:

“Definitely should have walked away before it got to that point. I’ve got to be the bigger person and walk away. He was poppin’ hella (expletive), he was going off… He was talking crazy. He took it to the next level so I had to see if he matched that energy. Gotta be the bigger person. I definitely say that. But as for sympathy for him? I definitely don’t feel any for those individuals. But yeah, what a day.

It’s Philly, we had a brawl before noon and then went and enjoyed the football game,”
