Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur addressed a heated exchange that occurred before Thursday night’s game against the Detroit Lions. The confrontation happened on the field with a Lions fan who was there to help with the national anthem by holding the flag.

LaFleur explained,

“He was talking junk to our players, giving them the throat slash sign, and you’re trying to deescalate it, and then he gets in my face. So, I thought it was pretty unsportsmanlike. I’ve never seen that.”

The coach expressed frustration with the situation and emphasized the need for better security to handle such incidents in the future.
