Ep 9 The Hooligans are Coming!

Published: March 17, 2021, 4 p.m.

Happy Saint Patrick\u2019s Day! In honor of the 3rd greenest day of the year, we will be taking a look at the history of hooliganism. Beginning in Surrey, England in the 18th century, the episode concludes with a peek at some of the most lovable Hooligans in sports: The Philadelphia Hooligans Men\u2019s Roller Derby team. Here in you will find answers to questions I\u2019m sure have been nagging you for years, such as \u201cWhere did the word \u2018derby\u2019 originate, and what is its actual definition in sports?\u201d, and \u201cWhy has alcohol been banned at all Scottish Football events for the past 35 years?\u201d. Ever wonder what the melody of \u201cWe\u2019re from Philly, no one likes us we don\u2019t care\u201d is from? Join me, Soulless, to learn that some questions (hint it\u2019s the last one) are better left unanswered... It\u2019s an entertaining ride full of twists and fun facts. But be warned: There\u2019s Hooligan\u2019s afoot!
