A Philadelphia Eagles fan was caught on video berating a female Green Bay Packers fan during the Wild Card game that was played at Lincoln Financial Field.
The incident took place during the Eagles’ 22-10 playoff victory over the Packers on Sunday and caused widespread anger among fans.
Alexander Basara and his fiancée were watching the game from the upper deck when the refs changed a ruling on the field.
As his wife began to celebrate, the unidentified Eagles fans leaned into the woman’s ear and yelled, “Short of the goal line, you dip s–t,” and “It’s not a touchdown.”
It only got worse from there as Basara tried to interfere and speak with the Eagles fan about disrespecting his wife.
“She’s an ugly, dumb cunt,” the man is heard saying. “You gonna do anything? Then shut the f–k up, turn around, watch the game.”
Basara wrote in a post shared to his X account, “What it’s like going to Philly just trying to root for your team… Unprovoked, uncalled for. Packers twitter, help me out and find this guy…. this is not okay I hate that my fiancé had this happen simply cheering for her team.”
The team hadn’t publicly addressed the disturbance, but an Eagles representative told TMZ that they were looking into the incident.
Fast forward to ths week and we now have great news.
The Eagles organization as well as Big Dom have identitified all parties involved and now the Philly fan has been banned for life from attending games while the team plans on sending Packers gear to the female fan.
UPDATE: The #Eagles organization and Big Dom have identified the vile Eagles fan who berated a visiting Packers fan on Sunday. He has officially been banned for life from attending games, and the team is also sending the woman Packers gear as an apology.

The Eagles Made The Right Decision
A troubling interaction between a Green Bay Packers couple and an unruly Philadelphia Eagles fan has turned one guy’s entire life upside down, and he has nobody to blame but himself.
Alexander Basara, a Packers fan who attended the game with his fiancée, shared that they faced derogatory comments from a Philadelphia fan.
That fan has been found. Now, his job is in jeopardy, and he has been banned from Lincoln Financial Field for life.
Well done, Philly.
