It Sounds Like Nationals Fans Were Pretty Awful to Bryce Harper This Season
Boy, this is worse than we thought.
Obviously, Bryce Harper leaving DC to go play in Philly of all places was going to rub some Nationals fans the wrong way.
But a little perspective would be nice.
The Phillies visited half-empty Nationals Park this week and were promptly eliminated from post-season contention.
Meanwhile, the Nats clinched a playoff berth:

Interesting, especially since Washington took the season series, 14-5.
While all this was happening, Harper was being treated like complete dogshit by the Nats fans that were there.
Oh, and these Neanderthals thought it would be fun to rag on his kid, as well:
When you bring his son or family into it, yes you’re crossing a line. Stick to your overused overrated and Harper sucks chants if you’re really that loser that goes to a game to heckle someone. Phillies fans might boo him but they don’t bring his 4 week old son into it. Classless https://t.co/NVj3ixyrPY

That would be Kayla Harper describing the treatment they've received.
And it wasn't confined to this series or just the ballpark, either:

Well, that's just super.
And if you think that's bad, look at what this pizza place did:
$3 pizzas? Yes indeed...
