From the Daily Mail: "Eagles fan Ryan Caldwell who got fired for abusing female Packers rival makes bombshell claim." While admitting that he was wrong to use the foul language he did, Caldwell also maintains that the viral video of the event is taken out of context, and the offended couple (Ally Keller and Alexander Basara) had provoked the incident. The article also mentions that some now suspect that Keller and Basara might have intended to provoke an incident well before the incident happened. Per the article:
Fans have discovered that Basara is actually a content creator with close to 60,000 subscribers on YouTube .
And to add to the suspicion, Basara and his other half only attended Sunday's game after he created a GoFundMe page asking for donations to help get him there - despite claiming to live an hour away from Lincoln Financial Field.
A number of users on X are now accusing Basara of instigating the viral altercation with Caldwell in order to generate views for his social-media channels.

'The vulgar Eagles fan is clearly a POS, but the Packers fiancé who filmed the incident has a lot going on,' a third claimed. 'How much did he instigate this? Look at his attitude going into the Linc. He was wearing a body camera to video stuff for content. He also has multiple GoFundMe's to pay for his travel to Packers games etc. Need more info, but it feels like we've been manipulated by this dude'.
A fourth put: 'The Packers fan recording the film was there via a GoFundMe to "rile up opposing fans in the belly of the beast". True story. This was all a scam.'
I don't doubt it, but, you know, Philly.
