PHILADELPHIA, P.A. — A Philadelphia Eagles fan is under fire after verbally assaulting a female Green Bay Packers supporter during a recent game, sparking backlash over fan behavior at sporting events.
According to witnesses, the altercation occurred when the Eagles fan directed a vulgar slur at the woman, calling her an “ugly dumb c—” in response to her support for the Packers.
Philadelphia has a well-known reputation for being a tough environment for opposing teams’ fans, but many are calling this incident an unacceptable escalation.
No arrests have been reported, and it remains unclear if stadium security intervened.
The Eagles organization has not yet commented on the incident.
“Eagles fans are the freaking worst ever. They will cuss at visiting stadiums and have seen a group get beat down at a Bucs game because they wouldn’t shut up. Cussing at women and kids. Walk away, ignore and be the best man possible. It’s hard man. I hate walking away,” one commenter on X responded.
Many Philadelphia Eagles fans said the man who took the video, Alexander Basara should not have attended a playoff game in Philadelphia wearing the opposing team’s merch, saying they both deserved the treatment the received during the game.
Basara said that same fan harassed the woman the entire game, calling her derogatory names and shouting in her ears.
The Eagles went on to win the game 22-10 as the Packers were plagued by injuries and bad decisions that led to unnecessary penalties in multiple key situations.
