Philadelphia Eagles ban fan who hurled vile insults at woman cheering for Packers during playoff game

The Philadelphia Eagles and Lincoln Financial Field have issued a lifetime ban to a male fan whose crude outburst during their playoff game against the Green Bay Packers was caught on camera, PEOPLE can confirm.

Footage of the incident first surfaced on the Internet after the Eagles defeated the Packers 22-10 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday, January 12.

Alexander Basara, a Green Bay Packers content creator, posted footage of the male Eagles fan heckling Basara’s fiancée, who was cheering for the Packers and wearing road team merchandise.

“How does it feel to go to Philadelphia just to try to support your team,” Basara wrote in his message accompanying the video on this guy…this is not ok I hate that this is happening to my fiance just to cheer for his team.

Basara’s video clearly shows the man leaning down in the row in front of him taunting Basara’s fiancée about a Packers game and calling her derogatory names as the game progressed.

Basara tries to intervene, telling the man to stop insulting his fiancée, while the Eagles fan continues to insult him, saying, “She’s an ugly, stupid motherfucker.”

A day later, NFL reporter Derrick Gunn shared on X that the Eagles would ban the man from Lincoln Financial Field. “Guy will be banned from future Eagles games,” Gunn posted on Monday, Jan. 13, adding that the Eagles planned to send Basara’s fiancée some Packers gear “as an apology.”

“Changing seats with her might also have been a smart move, but hats off to you for keeping your cool in these circumstances.”

Others wondered why Basara “allowed” the man to behave this way. In response to a comment, Basara explained that the man was attending the match with two other men and that he was concerned that they were becoming too aggressive. “Plus, all Eagles fans would see is me getting physical with an old man and jumping on me,” Basara said.
