Philly fans had probably over-exciting ways of celebrating this year’s Valentines. 7 years! Yes, it took 7 years for Howie Roseman’s Philadelphia Eagles to bring back the Lombardi trophy to their city. However, it took just a few hours to ruin the Super Bowl parade. Philly saw a couple of ruining moments which turned out bloody on Friday, February 14.

Philadelphia turned into a sea of green and chaos. Thousands of green-clad Philly fans jammed the Broad Street from South Philly to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The moment was to honor their Super Bowl heroes, but it soon turned out immoral. How?

Well, Eagles’ general manager Howie Roseman continued to enjoy the parade with a half-circle-shaped wound on his forehead. This happened when an over-excited fan apparently hit him on his forehead with a beer can during the parade. This incident resulted in an injury to Roseman as well as a buzz on social media. Nevertheless, Roseman doesn’t let the injury bother him, responding with: “I bleed for this city!” remarks.

Howie Roseman took the opportunity to make a positive reference to this injury episode. Despite being left bloody, he yelled at the Art Museum that he has deep loyalty, passion, and dedication for Philadelphia. Wow! That’s indeed a great way to hide the marks, putting up a brave face. After all, winning the Super Bowl does give the strength, pride, and confidence to make such remarks.

In the same way, with such confidence, Roseman promised that the team would deliver another exciting season in 2025. He expressed, “We’re two-time world champs and we’re coming back strong! Go Birds!”

The pride was full-on in the streets of Philadelphia. Gov. Josh Shapiro also believed that. However, despite parsing the fans for a “hell of a parade,” Shapiro didn’t miss a chance to give a sarcastic tone on the beer can mistake – “Except for some of y’all who didn’t know how to toss a beer nicely. You fired it too hard! Just ask Howie Roseman.” Besides the GM, even rookie Cooper DeJean was also injured due to fan-thrown beer cans. But guess what? The Super Bowl parade featured not only festivities, pride, and fan moments but also incidents involving beer cans. It also witnessed a shooting occurrence at the parade.

Besides Howie Roseman, two fans had a bad experience

Howie Roseman was fine with the over-excited fans as he understood their love for him. But in the same parade, at Ben Franklin Parkway, an unknown man gun fired at two women, causing chaos in the group. According to the police reports, the double shooting incident occurred around 2:35 p.m. at the 2300 block of Parkway.

Unfortunately, a night that should have been just another outing turned into chaos. A 27-year-old woman and her boyfriend were just trying to get through the crowd to the porta-potties. But out of nowhere, he was punched in the face. A fight broke out, which led to a couple of gunfires. Unfortunately, one bullet hit that woman in the leg. Additionally, another woman, just 20 years old, suffered a gunshot to the thigh.

After this, a medical emergency immediately rushed them to Presbyterian Hospital. As per the police reports, the injured women were in stable condition. But the shooter is still out there. Police informed that no weapon was recovered.
