Braves Announcers Roast Phillies Fans For Jeers: 'They Might Have Booed Christ After The Resurrection!'

The Atlanta Braves broadcast team came up with a hysterical roast of Philadelphia Phillies fans on Easter Sunday.

As soon as Orlando Arcia stepped into the batter’s box, Phillies fans showered boos upon the Braves’ shortstop. That drew a laugh from analyst C.J. Nitkowski, who said that Phillies fans boo far more than any other fan base in the MLB.

"This place, more than any other," Nitkowski said. "It’s either against your team, for your team, for the opponent. Just boo everybody! You can’t get through an inning without somebody getting booed in either uniform… even on Easter."

Braves Announcers Claimed They Would Even boo Jesus At The Resurrection

To be fair to Phillies fans, they had a more substantial reason to boo Arcia than most players. In last year’s NLDS, Arcia reportedly mocked Bryce Harper for a costly baserunning error at the end of Game 2.

But that doesn’t mean that Philly fans always have a justified reason for booing people. They just boo anyone for the sake of booing; it comes as naturally as breathing to them. Heck, Eagles fans booed Santa at a football game once. These people are ruthless!

That’s what led play-by-play announcer Brandon Gaudin to make his hysterical comment about how much Phillies fans love to boo.

"No let up, doesn’t matter," Gaudin added. "They might have booed Christ after the resurrection! I don’t know, I wasn’t there that day."

In all honesty, there might be a shred of truth in that. If any Phillies fans went back in time to see what happened that day, they probably would have found some way to complain during Jesus’ most triumphant act:

"Why did you do this so early?"

"Why didn’t you turn water into wine, so we can celebrate?"

"Why did you allow the Yankees to beat us in the 2009 World Series?"

Okay, maybe that’s a stretch. But one thing is for sure: Philadelphia sports fans will never stop booing as long as sports in the "City of Brotherly Love" exist. And there's nothing we can do to stop it.
