A Philadelphia sports fan will never be permitted to attend another Eagles home game after launching into a sexist tirade against a female Green Bay Packers fan in a widely shared video.
During Sunday night’s Eagles triumph at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia in the NFC wild-card round, the unpleasant scene was caught on mobile phone footage.
According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the “individual will not be permitted to attend any future events at Lincoln Financial Field,”
In the widely circulated video, a man wearing an Eagles jacket was seen stooping, covering his mouth with his hands, and verbally assaulting the female fan in the row ahead of him. He did not seem to get a response from that admirer.
According to NBC Philadelphia, she is Ally Keller, who went to the game with her fiancé, Alex Basara.
When an Eagles fan behind them began to make remarks, the pair informed the station they were enjoying the game and even joking around with opposing fans.
Basara told NBC Philadelphia that he initially began by making lighthearted jokes or simply saying stuff to us as soon as we sat down. I talked to him for a while. However, he continued to say some of the same things. carried on for the duration of the game. As the game continued, it grew worse and worse. There were Eagles supporters all around us. All the attention was on us.
The pair claimed that as the Eagles’ advantage increased, the man’s remarks became more offensive. When Basara stated, “Not too great,” in response to the man asking if he was enjoying himself, Keller claimed she lost her temper. The Eagles fan then retorted that the couple had poor attitudes.
She told NBC Philadelphia that after Keller told the man that he was the one with the bad attitude, he started making personal attacks on her.
He just answered, “Actually, you’re not even attractive enough to be speaking to me,” Keller remarked. Then I asked, “You know what that means?” “You know what that means,” he added. “Have you looked in the mirror yourself?” I said. “Yeah, but I’m a man,” he responded. It’s okay for me to be ugly. You’re a female.
According to Basara, the de-escalation of the situation was achieved through documenting it.
Keller claimed that due of the hostile environment, she was afraid to say too much to the home team’s fan.
“If it did turn into an altercation or something physical, all they see is me messing with an Eagles fan, and then I become the target,” she stated. “What transpires with my fiancé in that situation at that point? It is a risky circumstance.
The Eagles advanced to play the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon after winning the game 22–10.
Internet detectives linked the offended fan to a management consulting firm in New Jersey that condemned the actions of one of its employees.
“As an organization that has always stood for inclusivity, the conduct displayed was completely unacceptable and stands in direct opposition to our company values,” BCT Partners said in a statementMonday. “We have already begun a full investigation as an internal personnel matter to determine what actions will be taken.”
The corporation announced the employee’s termination late Tuesday.
In a statement, it added, “We strongly condemn the conduct of our former employee.” “This individual’s conduct and language were vile, disgusting, unacceptable, and horrific and have no place in our workplace and society.”
For a long time, Philadelphia fans—and Eagles supporters in particular—had a negative reputation that they feel is exaggerated.
In order to handle fans arrested for intoxication, fighting, and other offenses on Sundays in the fall, an arraignment court was set up in the basement of the team’s previous residence at Veterans Stadium at one point in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
