The Eagles fan who verbally abused a Packers fan is under investigation by his employers, who called his comments “completely unacceptable.”
The foul-mouthed speech, which has gone viral in recent days, took place in Lincoln Financial Field as the Eagles cruised to a 22-10 victory over the Packers in the wild card round of the NFL playoffs.
At one point, the Eagles fan, who works for an award-winning management consulting firm focused on “diversity,” refers to the woman as an “ugly, dumb ass.” This causes a confrontation with her fiancé, who is filming the incident.
'What it's like to go to Philly just trying to support your team,' Packers fan Alejandro Basara he captioned the video in X.
'Without provocation, without necessity. Packers Twitter, help me and find this guy…this is not right. “I hate that this happened to my (fiancee) just cheering for her team.”
NFL fans rallied around the couple, and on Monday, BCT Partners, a New Jersey-based management consulting firm, issued a statement regarding the incident.
The company, which aims to “harness the power of diversity, insights and innovation to transform lives, accelerate equity and create lasting change,” apologized for the rant and said it had launched a “full investigation” into its employee .
