Make It Naaaashty Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 MILWAUKEE (AP)—The NFL is investigating a confrontation between Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins(notes) and a fan after Monday night’s loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press the league is “in the process of reviewing all the facts” and Bears spokesman Scott Hagel said the team is doing the same thing. “Right now, we’re monitoring it,” Hagel said. Milwaukee’s WITI-TV aired video in which Collins is seen yelling at a fan as he left the field. Collins then appears to throw his mouthpiece into the stands. According to the station’s report, Collins said the fan spit on him and used a racial slur. WITI said Collins apologized for “losing his cool.” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he hadn’t seen the video but had been briefed on the situation by the Packers’ security department. “I understand Nick’s story, as far as what happened and what our security people that were there (said),” McCarthy told reporters in Green Bay on Tuesday. “And I support Nick 100 percent.” Still, McCarthy said players would be wise to avoid such confrontations. “You don’t want to get into interaction, particularly with opposing fans,” McCarthy said. “It is an emotional time, particularly after a game. I think it’s something we can all learn from.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-packers-collins-fanconfrontation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 it's just a mouthpiece. the [expletive]ty bear fan(which really sums up most chicago fans) got a cool souvenir out of it tooA lot of sports fans are racist/say racist [expletive], not just Chicago fans. Either way Collins has to be more mature, players go through every week I guarantee it. Look at what Jacory Harris went through in Ohio.

Either way Collins has to be more mature, players go through every week I guarantee it. Look at what Jacory Harris went through in Ohio. That came from a Cane fan sadly. There's a rumor that there's gonna be a few dudes looking for the guy at the FSU game if he shows up. Some people over on the Canes message board found the dude's facebook and everything. Nonetheless, I know what you mean regardless. Its a shame Nick couldn't keep his cool. Hopefully he just gets fined.
