A Philadelphia Eagles fan has been fired from his job after viral video showed him launching vile sexist insults at a female Green Bay Packers fan during a playoff game in Philadelphia on Sunday.
In the clip shared by the woman’s fiancé, the hostile home team spectator calls Packers supporter Ally Keller an “ugly dumb cunt.” And apparently it wasn’t the first time.
“What it’s like going to Philly just trying to root for your team… Unprovoked, uncalled for. Packers twitter, help me out and find this guy…. this is not okay I hate that my fiancé had this happen simply cheering for her team,” Alexander Basara wrote in his post on X, formerly Twitter.
Sleuths eventually identified the man, who was banned from future events at Lincoln Financial Field and canned on Tuesday from his gig at New Jersey-based BCT Partners, a consulting firm that boasts of being “DEI Champions.”
After an internal investigation of the “offensive and misogynistic statements” made by the employee, BCT wrote on X, the firm “decided to part company with the employee.”
“We condemn our former employee’s conduct in the strongest possible terms. This individual’s conduct and language were vile, disgusting, unacceptable and horrific and have no place in our workplace and society,” it said.
Still, the company added, “None of us deserve to be remembered for actions taken on our worst day.”

Keller told NBC10 in Philadelphia that the environment became increasingly hostile but she and Basara did not want the situation to escalate.
“He was making personal jabs at me,” Keller said. “It’s one thing if he’s going, ‘F the Packers,’ or whatever. But he’s talking about my looks the whole time. So, it got personal at that point.”
The punishment capped a week of justice for extreme spectator behavior. The two New York Yankees fans who ripped a foul ball out of the glove of Los Angeles Dodgers player Mookie Betts during a World Series game in October were barred indefinitely by Major League Baseball from all of its ballparks.
