Both sides stink to high heaven in the viral fight between Eagles and Packers fans
It was the c-bomb heard around the country.During Sunday’s wild-card game between Philadelphia and Green Bay, a male Eagles fan called a female Packers fan something really nasty: a “dumb c–t.”In other words, it was the Lord’s Day in Philadelphia during football season.If you’ve spent any time attending a pro sports game in the City of Brotherly “Love,” you know some name-calling and maybe even a little violence is traditional fare.Philly fans have long been dogged by a terrible reputation — much of it earned and well-documented.In 2025, a lot of the terrible behavior is no longer acceptable, though it still happens.This time, the episode was caught on video and disseminated by content creator Alexander Basara, whose fiancée, Ally Keller, was on the receiving end of the vile rant.“Packers twitter, help me out and find this guy … this is not okay,” Basara captioned the offensive video on X.People were outraged and many dug in to find this monster in an Iggles jacket, all while praising Basara.Very quickly, the abusive fan was identified as Ryan Caldwell.
