Not really. Its just an easy target and always will be because of the media narrative. Pittsburgh is much more in line with anti gay marriage ideas and they were not mentioned.

As a born and bred Southerner

I think he will get it worse in other stadiums. I also think the talk on the field could be worse than what's in the stands. I'm quite certain if he had been out of the closet in college, he would have gotten it bad here in SEC country. On a side note, Ive always felt like Philadelphia was a Southern city stuck in a Northern state. Maybe that's why I gravitated towards the Eagles.
