CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Cameron Rupp is a fan favorite in Philadelphia until football season starts.
Rupp had a breakout year for the Phillies in 2016, smacking 43 extra-base hits as he replaced Carlos Ruiz as the starting catcher.
But Rupp grew up in Dallas and loves the Cowboys . That doesn’t sit well in Philly where Eagles fans are obsessed with hating America’s Team. Rupp enjoys posting about the Cowboys on Twitter, especially after they win, so he had plenty of opportunities because Dallas was 13-3.
You can imagine the comments he received in Philadelphia.
