One thing you can say about U.S. Senator John Fetterman.

He settles his debts quickly.

After making a side bet with Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker on the outcome of last weekend’s Eagles-Steelers game, Fetterman fulfilled his end of the bargain after his beloved Steel City gridiron squad was bested by Philly’s best, 27-13.

I bet @PhillyMayor — when the Steelers win, she wears a Steelers hat all day and proclaims at City Hall:

Sheetz > Wawa (obv)

If Philly wins (unlikely 🙄), I vote in an Eagles hat and proclaim in the U.S. Senate:

Wawa > Sheetz (a filthy lie) pic.twitter.com/5dUyuW1m3R

Parker accepted the wager from Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senator from Braddock. Fetterman proposed that a Pittsburgh victory and Parker would wear a Steelers’ hat all day while also proclaiming at City Hall that the western PA convenience store chain, Sheetz, is better than her eastern PA chain, Wawa.

With the Eagles’ victory, Fetterman was made to cast a vote in the Senate chamber wearing an Eagles’ hat and also announcing that, in fact, Wawa is better than Sheetz.

Although there was a decided lack of enthusiasm, the former lineman at Central York High School and Albright College paid off his debt.

You won this round, @PhillyMayor. 🙄 https://t.co/kRmLhZzP4w pic.twitter.com/NXzYjQ7drg

For her part, Parker did acknowledge Fetterman’s fulfillment of their bet, thanked him for being a good sport, and said she was thinking of the day when Pennsylvania’s football teams would meet in the Super Bowl.

Then a final dagger. Wait until the end.

It is all in good fun. Thank you @SenFettermanPA for being such a good sport!
