A Packers fan was called out for a “classless” act during the Packers’ game against the Detroit Lions on September 28, 2023. The fan was seen throwing a beer can at Lions quarterback Jared Goff after Goff was sacked late in the game.
The incident was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media. Many people condemned the fan’s actions, calling them “disrespectful” and “unsportsmanlike.”
The Packers organization also released a statement condemning the fan’s behavior. “We are very disappointed in the behavior of the fan who threw a beer can at Jared Goff,” the statement said. “This type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We apologize to Jared Goff and the Lions organization for this incident.”
The fan has since been identified and banned from attending Packers games for life.
This incident is a reminder that there is a right way and a wrong way to support your team. Throwing objects at players is never acceptable, regardless of the circumstances. It is important to remember that sportsmanship is more important than winning or losing.
He’s gotta be tossed. No player should have to get beer poured on him while he works. Yes I know he jumped in the opposing teams stands but I’d have said toss him if he poured beer on another fan. https://t.co/qkWbKYU1Nj

Here are some additional thoughts on the Packers fan’s “classless” act:
- The fan’s actions are not representative of all Packers fans. The vast majority of Packers fans are respectful and passionate about their team.
- The fan’s actions put Goff at risk of injury. A beer can can cause serious damage if it hits someone in the head.
- The fan’s actions also reflect poorly on the Packers organization. The Packers are one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, and they have a reputation for class and sportsmanship.
It is important to note that the Packers fan’s behavior is not unique. There have been many other incidents of fans throwing objects at players in recent years. This is a problem that exists in all sports.
So, what can be done to address this problem?
- Education: Fans need to be educated about the importance of sportsmanship and the dangers of throwing objects at players. This education can start at home and continue in schools and at sporting events.
- Enforcement: Teams and leagues need to enforce their policies against fan misconduct. This may include banning fans from attending games or fining them.
- Role models: Players and coaches need to set a good example for fans. They need to show respect for their opponents and for the game itself.
By working together, we can create a more sportsmanlike and enjoyable environment for everyone.
