MAN ON THE STREET: ‘What is your favorite sports team?’

“Everton Football Club. I started following them because of Tim Howard. The team appealed to me because they’re kind of an underdog and I feel like they represent their community very well. The community grew up as a very blue collar working class area. The team always reflects that hard work ethic and always has to rely on that. All of the fans are passionate, but the fans reflect the players and the players reflect the fans.”

“I would say the Philadelphia Eagles. I started watching the Eagles 50 years ago because my dad liked them. I was in the marching band and we learned about the game of football. ”

Ellen Clendenning

“The Detroit Lions. I was born in Detroit. I played football for Abington Heights in the 1960s.”

Gerald Fallas

“I think the N.Y. Yankees because of my grandma. She was more or less a Yankees’ fan.”

Michael Bohenek

Clarks Summit

“I don’t really watch professional sports.”
