Philly has a reputation for being a tough town. Philadelphia sports fans represent that toughness. We all know the stories; snowballs, Santa, batteries. But during the 2017 NFL Draft in April, 250,000 people represented Philadelphia for who we really are... passionate about our city and football.
Even though the Mayor of Philadelphia has said that they will gladly host the Draft again in 2018, there is talk that we may lose the Draft to Dallas. DALLAS!?!
We can't let this happen, we need to show the NFL that we want the Draft back in 2018... if for nothing else, it's another reason for a great party.
