Generally speaking, Sunday was a good day for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. They saw their beloved team reach the Super Bowl via a 38-7 beatdown of the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, a small percentage of their fans were less than great. An ugly fight broke out in the parking lot prior to the game and some Philadelphia fans greeted Vikings fans heading into the stadium with hostile language.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that in light of this, Eagles’ fans have reached out to donate money to the Mike Zimmer Foundation.
A flood of donations coming in from @Eagles fans today to the MZF, most of them apologizing for how their fans treated @Vikings when they were in their city.

Per Lindsey Young of Vikings.com, Cori Zimmer (Mike’s daughter), shared some messages some that been relayed to her from donating Philadelphia fans.
“Thanks for being great opponents, from an Eagles fan with love.
Happy to support a wonderful cause. Best of luck next season from a diehard Eagles fan.
From Philadelphia with love – truly sorry for the way Vikings fans were treated in our city. We look forward to meeting you guys in the playoffs for years to come!”
Young noted that as of Tuesday morning, over $1,400 in donations have been reached.
