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.
Cellphone footage of the nasty scenario was taken during Sunday night’s NFC wildcard victory for the birds at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia.
According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the “individual will not be permitted to attend any future events at Lincoln Financial Field,” NBC News reported.
A man in an Eagles jacket was seen stooping over, covering his mouth with his hands, and verbally insulting the female fan in the row in front of him in the widely circulated video. He did not seem to get a response from that admirer.
The Eagles advanced to play the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon after winning the game 22–10.
Internet detectives linked the offending fan to a management consulting firm in New Jersey that condemned the actions of its employee.
“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 stated in a statement. “We have already begun a full investigation as an internal personnel matter to determine what actions will be taken.”
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 home at Veteran Stadium at one point in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
