The altercation occurred when the Eagles fan directed a vulgar slur at the woman, calling her an “ugly dumb c—” in response to her support for the Packers. The woman was simply cheering on her team after the referee made a call on the field. Clearly, this fan had already been a problem since the husband of the woman began to record the interaction. Philadelphia has a well-known reputation for being a tough environment for opposing teams’ fans, but this encounter took things way too far, so social media got to work.
