Sixers’ Mike Scott wears Washington jersey to Eagles’ tailgate, appears to get into scuffle with Philly fans

Turns out the Mike Scott hive didn’t make it to Eagles tailgates.

The Sixers’ reserve forward has assimilated with Sixers fans surprisingly quickly after being a part of the Sixers-Clippers trade that sent Tobias Harris to Philadelphia last February. But not quickly enough to know what would happen if he went to an Eagles tailgate wearing a Washington jersey.

Maybe he thought donning the late Sean Taylor’s jersey would cut him some slack? Perhaps it should have, but it didn’t. A brief video surfaced on social media that appeared to show Scott getting into a scuffle with fans wearing midnight green in a parking lot before the game.

The confrontation wasn’t enough for Scott to go home, though. The Virginia native posted a picture of himself, happily seated at Lincoln Financial Field.
