Ryan Caldwell, the disgraced Philadelphia Eagles fan who was filmed hurling vile abuse at a female Packers game, has spoken out. 

The Philadelphia supporter could be heard calling the woman in question an ‘ugly, dumb c***’ in a shocking video with over 30 million views on X during the Eagles’ Wild Card playoff game against Green Bay at the weekend. 

The 45-year-old has since lost his job at a New Jersey-based DEI-focused company and has been banned from all future events at Lincoln Financial Field by the Eagles. 

However, Caldwell has now claimed that the viral video did not capture the incident in its entire context. 

‘While attending an NFL game last Sunday to support my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, an incident occurred that I deeply regret,’ Caldwell told the New York Post. 

‘What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable. In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller. 

‘I want to sincerely apologize to Ms. Keller for those words, and to my wife, family, and friends, my former employer and colleagues, Packer fans, Eagle fans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the City of Philadelphia, and all who were offended. That said, there are two sides to every story. The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation. I will live with this experience, and I am certainly paying a personal price. For those who don’t know me, this incident does not reflect my values or the respect I have for others and is not indicative of the person I am.’
