Dear Philadelphia Athletes,
A fresh start is in order, and we would like to not only re-welcome you to Philadelphia, but thank you all for being brave. Philadelphia is one of the toughtest places to play professional sports in the country. I assure you, we’re a knowledgeable bunch. We do our homework on players, coaches, assistant coaches, you name it. It’s very likely we know what colleges you went to and your stats in college. If you were a free agent, we know what you did with previous teams. Suddenly, all of that becomes irrelevant. You get a new opportunity in Philadelphia to make your mark and become a fan favorite. We expect you to contribute no matter how big or small your role is. When you told people you were coming here, you heard this is a tough fanbase, huh? Unfortunately our reputation precedes us at times. Yes, we threw snowballs at Santa Claus. Fights? Unfortunately we’ve been involved in those more times than we should have.
