Here’s a post just for the Eagles fans that saw we only pick on them.
CBS 2 in Chicago reports that some Packers fans in attendance at the NFC Championship physically paid the price for showing up.
“Bam! Right in the face! Bam! Right in the face!” Mel North told CBS when asked how a man in her group got a “slashed nose.” (This appears to be the “nose slicing” Deadspin referred to today.)
Other than that example, it sounds like Packers fans were mostly subject to verbal abuse.
“One guy said he was going to push me down the stairs, and I think he meant it,” said one grown man that wore a cheesehead in the crowd. (Well, there would be an easy way to know if he really meant it.)
“I have to say that being a Packer fan, I wasn’t treated that well. I took a lot of abuse. I was called a lot of obscene things,” another fan said.
Sunday marked the first Packers-Bears playoff game in 70 years and the first Packers Super Bowl appearance in more than a decade. Ultimately, we suspect any fans in attendance felt the abuse was worth it.
