Misogynistic Tirade at Fan During Football Game Costs Miscreant His Job and Ban from Stadium


Ryan Caldwell, wearing an Eagles jacket, was captured on video heckling a female Packers fan while her fiancé filmed the entire altercation in the stands at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on 12 Jan 2025. Look at the expression on the poor woman's face. (Image: X/@Basaraski)

Ryan Caldwell, who went off on a misogynistic tirade against a female Green Bay Packers fan in a viral video, won't be allowed to ever attend another Eagles home game.

The ugly scene was captured on cellphone video during the Eagles' NFC wild-card round victory Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philly.




The "individual will not be permitted to attend any future events at Lincoln Financial Field," a source familiar with the matter.

Online sleuths then identified the reprobate and his employer:

BCT Partners terminated Ryan Caldwell's employment.

The internet and karma are forever.

"'We condemn our former employee's conduct in the strongest possible terms,' it said in a statement. 'This individual's conduct and language were vile, disgusting, unacceptable, and horrific and have no place in our workplace and society.'"

Take a look at BCT’s web page.

I know looks and marketing can be deceiving but their community message, the graphics they’ve chosen, and the diversity of their team…they look like a firm that made the right decision as soon as they saw the video.

From that point forward, it was a question of how, not if.

IMHO of course.

How about that for irony?

They definitely would have lost business (in an already tough environment for DEI consultants, as everyone knows) if they had allowed their "grace" to include letting this misogynist stay on board.

Maybe they need to consider whether they are including treatment of women (as well as other underrepresented groups) to be part of the DEI scope and whether their culture reflects that.

Late Tuesday, the company said, the employee had been terminated.


Security guards at the gates of Lincoln Financial Field will be handed photos of Ryan Caldwell. He can try and sneak in, but he'll risk a trespassing charge.

in NO way, speaks for all Eagles fans. I know we have quite a rep, but I have been to countless games where behavior like this is called out by other Eagles fans. This is just plain wrong.

...attacking a woman who arguably, is less of a threat to retaliate, because they're "oh so tough" with women.
