It was an absolute sight to behold as the liquid rained down from an overhang at FedEx Field:
Folks... that is straight-up gross.
Some highlights from this fan-filmed clip for me:
Sports
0:01: "That's sewage."
0:08: "That's how we celebrate!"
0:09: The poor guy in the yellow shirt trying to evade the splash zone
0:25-0:31: The wide sweep to show just how many people are watching toilet water rain down upon them
I don't know much about omens, but I can't imagine this is a good sign for a football team that was picked by some to be a bit of a dark horse in the NFC.
Yikes.
