BREAKING: Lions revoke season tickets of fan who had exchange with Packers coach Matt LaFleur

Lions revoke season tickets of fan who had exchange with Packers coach Matt  LaFleur - NBC Sports

The Lions have revoked the season tickets of the fan who had a heated verbal altercation with Packers head coach Matt LaFleur during last Thursday’s game between the teams.

Fahad Yousif told the Detroit News that the Lions informed him of the decision via an email. Yousif was on the field before the game to hold part of on oversized flag during the national anthem and had to be separated from LaFleur, who said Yousef “was talking junk to our players, giving them the throat slash sign.”

“The biggest gut punch, man,” Yousif said. “Just waking up and seeing that email and not being able to talk to somebody in person, it was a terrible feeling. I don’t have my chance to give my side of the story or anything.”

Yousef was asked to leave the game by the Lions before halftime and said at the time that he “got caught up” in the moment. He told the newspaper that he was “devastated” by the team’s decision and admitted that the entire incident “definitely could have been avoided” on his end, but his lack of self-control in the moment proved to be costly.
