“I hate Eagles fans. They're so annoying,” he said. Earlier in the week. “When I see green and white, I hate it. I get really upset. I get really excited.”
Barkley questioned the timing of Fair's comments.
“Maybe it's not a wise thing to say when you come to Philadelphia,” he said. Via ESPN. “I've been on the other side (as a member of the New York Giants) and even if I felt a way, I probably wouldn't give them any more fuel. I'm sure the Philadelphia fans saw that. The commentary was already loud and shaky, so it'll just add to it.”
