Ryan Caldwell finally broke his silence after his world started crumbling around him due to his actions.
He apologized for this behavior but claimed that the video didn’t show the entire situation.
Caldwell says he “deeply regrets” berating a Packers fan with “unacceptable” insults during the Wild Card game at Lincoln Financial Field.
“While attending an NFL game last Sunday to support my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, an incident occurred that I deeply regret,” Caldwell said. “What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable. In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller.
“I want to sincerely apologize to Ms. Keller for those words, and to my wife, family, and friends, my former employer and colleagues, Packer fans, Eagle fans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the City of Philadelphia, and all who were offended. That said, there are two sides to every story. The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation. I will live with this experience, and I am certainly paying a personal price. For those who don’t know me, this incident does not reflect my values or the respect I have for others and is not indicative of the person I am.”
Unfortunately for Ryan Caldwell, not a single soul cared to hear his side or the statement he sent out since his actions were so bold toward a woman who was much smaller than him.
“So really he half apologized because instead of only apologizing he gave an excuse. Dude still doesn’t get it,” one fan said.
“The provocation was that the guy and his wife were not wearing Eagles clothes,” another fan added.
“Could only imagine what his wife goes through,” one fan commented.
“Exactly what “provocation” justifies what he said and did?” a fan asked.
One final fan took aim at the entire city: “Exactly why Philadelphia is not safe and a very hostile environment.”
Ryan Caldwell’s apology comes after he was fired from his job with a DEI-focused company and banned from all future events at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Their goal is to help companies ensure that all employees are treated fairly and have equal opportunities.
Unfortunately, they hired a guy who had a nasty spirit.
Ryan Caldwell Might Need To Disappear For Some Time
A Philadelphia sports fan, who went on a misogynistic tirade against a female Green Bay Packers fan in a viral video, lost his job, and everyone seemed to love that outcome.
Ryan Caldwell released a statement apologizing for the incident but defended himself, saying his actions “were not without provocation.”
Since the interaction was posted online, Eagles director of security Dom DiSandro reportedly was able to identify Caldwell, and he has since been banned from coming back to the stadium.
The best thing for Caldwell to do right now is to lay low and disappear.
