The Detroit Lions have revoked the season tickets of Fahad Yousif, the fan involved in a verbal confrontation with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur during last Thursday’s game. Yousif shared with the Detroit News that he received notification of the decision via email.

Before the game, Yousif had been on the field, helping hold a large flag during the national anthem, but was involved in an exchange with LaFleur, who claimed Yousif was “talking junk” to Packers players and making a throat-slashing gesture.

Yousif expressed his disappointment, saying he was deeply affected by waking up to the email notification, feeling the impact of the decision without the chance to explain himself in person.

“It was a terrible feeling,” he said, noting that he wasn’t given an opportunity to present his side of the story.

The Lions had asked Yousif to leave the stadium before halftime.

At the time, he admitted getting caught up in the moment, and now acknowledges that his actions could have been avoided.

Reflecting on the situation, Yousif confessed to being devastated by the team’s decision and recognized that a lack of self-control on his part led to this unfortunate outcome.
