Report: Eagles ban fan for verbally abusing Packers fan during Wild Card game

A viral video taken from the stands during Sunday’s Eagles win over the Packers has the Eagles taking action.

The video shows a male Eagles fan verbal assault a female Packers fan who is engaged to marry the person who filmed it. The poster asked for help identifying the aggressor, whose language crossed the line into something resembling good-natured banter between fans at a match.

Longtime NFL reporter Derrick Gunn reports that the Eagles have identified both fans and they have taken action. The Eagles fan will be banned from Lincoln Financial Field in the future, and the Packers fan will receive gear from her favorite team with apologies from the Eagles for what she might find herself in their home.

The fallout for the diatribe could extend beyond the stadium. After the offending party and his employer were identified online, a firm called BCT Partners also announced that they are investigating his behavior during the game.
