The Philadelphia Eagles are investigating after video surfaced on social media of a fan’s foul-mouthed rant aimed at a Green Bay Packers fan on Sunday. A source says the fan has since been banned from attending future events at Lincoln Financial Field. 

Video of the incident shows the unnamed fan standing in the row behind two Packers fans, calling the woman unrepeatable expletives and clapping in her ear.

A source tells FOX 29’s Jenn Frederick the Eagles have identified the fans involved and are working to take action. 

The backstory:

The Eagles hosted and defeated Packers in an NFC Wild Card matchup on Sunday afternoon. Shortly after the game, video began circulating on social media showing an Eagles fan taunting two Packers fans, including the person recording. 

The video shows one of the fans celebrating a play on the field, before the Eagles fan leans down and begins speaking to her and calling her names, claiming she misunderstood what had happened on the field during that particular play. 

When the man recording the video tells the Eagles fan to leave the woman alone, he repeats the repugnant slurs and keeps chiding the visiting fans.

What we know:

A source tells FOX 29’s Jenn Frederick that they have identified both parties involved in the incident. 

According to the source, the Eagles are reaching out to the Packers fan and are working to send her Packers merchandise as a form of an apology. 

Another source confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the Eagles fan would no longer be permitted to attend any future events at Lincoln Financial Field. 

What they're saying:

Since the video surfaced on social media Sunday, reactions have poured in from fans denouncing the Eagles fans actions. 

Many have called for the man to be barred from attending future games, while others have asked for help identifying the man to help move that process along.
