Jared Verse, a rookie linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams, faced strong criticism after declaring he 'hates Eagles fans' ahead of a divisional playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Verse, who has previously experienced Philadelphia's fan culture, made these remarks just days after a viral incident involving an Eagles fan verbally assaulting a woman. Eagles players, including Saquon Barkley, have warned that Verse's comments will increase the hostility he will face during the game. The Eagles hold significant momentum following a previous victory against the Rams, intensifying the rivalry heading into their playoff encounter.
