There's a lot of that Negadelphia going around I think. My Mom's new husband is to the point where he wants the Eagles to lose. She's giving him hell though!! What can you do.
That said I root for the Eagles, and this is one of the best organizations I've been alive for in Eagle history. Sure nothing is ever going to be perfect but I want the Green and Silver to win no matter what. Let TO where headphones after every offensive series and dance by himself in the endzone for all I care. Just get the job done and freaking win.

The media has a lot of skin in this game too. Antonio Gates has been holding out in Diego and just got an ultimatum from his team. You don't see freaking copters following him around town do you? Media spotlight is a big part of the problem  now a days. For some reason the Eagles and TO are getting the full brunt of it. Certainly that skews the way we feel about this stuff.

BOYCOTT ESPN!! (except for Monday night football I suppose)

It's simple.  Only die-hard football fans are remotely interested by Antonio Gates.  You don't have to be a football fan to get a chuckle out of T.O.'s mental retardation/antics/talents.

Why does he want them to lose?

Because he's a dumb Philly blue-collar schmuck.  The minority of fans that gives us all a bad name.

I hate those mother farging pricks.

He claims he stopped rooting for the Eagles fully back in the Franklin Field days or some such, so I think he's got deeper issues with the team. It didn't take much concerning the TO saga to push him over the edge I think.

Last year my Mom gave him crap every Eagles game because they kept winning. It's all in good fun of course.

He's not a fan, obviously. For the past 35 years he stopped rooting for them. Who the farg cares what he thinks.  ::)

Meh, we had 12 win seasons with Thrash and ToothPink.  3 of them.  One of them when half the starting D was on IR (we had farging Marco Coleman playing DE).  Lewis and Brown are upgrades over the former.  I say we can win 11-12 games without TO.  Probably win more with him, sure, but who farging cares?  Once we lock up the No1 seed, the total number of wins is irrelevant.  I'd love to see the Birds get to the SB without him.  But it's not my job to make sure they get there, it's Reid.  And he seems content to put up with some bullshtein to ensure it.  Fine.  But I firmly believe if TO starts to act up again, he'll get bitchslapped, and the team won't skip a beat.
Anyone but Reid.

Technically, we did last year.  TO was brought in primarily for the NFCC Game.  Everyone knew going into the season that with or without TO, the Eagles were still the class of the NFC.  TO just made the team more dominant during the regular season.

I'm just trying to understand the mentality of those who I think have an irrational or misdirected hatred towards the organization.

I've gotten a lot of insight from some on here already.
