You'd have guessed with 250,000 football fans passing through the Ben Franklin Parkway over the three days of the 2017 NFL draft that you would have seen mischievous behavior. Especially with all of that beer flowing like raw eggs in front of the Rocky steps.
But(t)... aside from that one fan who stuck their derriere on the Dallas Cowboys mannequin, there was very little in the form of fans behaving badly.
In fact, the Philadelphia police department said there were ZERO arrests at the draft proving once and for all that Philly sports fans are the most polite and well-behaved in the entire world.
Case closed.

Or maybe the local police department was too busy having fun and jamming with the Eagles' drum line as you can see below.

@PhillyPolice vs kids. I gave my ball to Officer Jesse Woodhouse. He threw with the kids for 2 hours. Much love to these men! #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/PF9ElTstf2— Mike Sotolongo (@MikeSotolongo) April 29, 2017
A Philly police spokesman told Philly.com that there wasn't even a single citation issued. Thank goodness for so many of those port-a-potties on the Parkway!
And maybe there should have been at least one arrest. Case in point:
First thing I hear after arriving at the draft, some guy tells a cop someone needs to be arrested. For being a Cowboys fan. #Philly— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) April 27, 2017
