During the Philadelphia Eagles' 22-10 Wild Card playoff win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, there was a verbal altercation in the crowd that was caught on video. That is, an Eagles fan appeared to be berating a female Packers fan, by calling her an "ugly dumb c***," for simply rooting for her favorite team.

The fan who posted the footage is a Packers' content creator by the name of Alexander Basara, and his fiancée is the one who was the victim of the verbal abuse.
And now the identity of the angry fan in the green jacket has also been revealed as Ryan Caldwell. And after investigating the situation, the Eagles have banned him from attending any future events at Lincoln Financial Field (per NFL reporter Derrick Gunn).
And in an act of remorse for the vile remarks made by their fan, the organization is even sending Green Bay gear to the woman as well.

The viral clip also made Caldwell's employer (BCT Partners) aware of the situation, as the management consulting firm in New Jersey released a statement regarding the matter.
