A Detroit Lions season ticket holder had his ticketing privileges revoked and was banned from all NFL stadiums after a verbal confrontaktion with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur during a game earlier this month.

During the Week 14 matchup between the Packers and Lions, season ticket holder Fahad Yousif was on the field holding the American flag. After the presentation, LaFleur and Yousif appeared to get into a shouting match.

LaFleur told reporters after the game that he’s “never been a part of something like that.”

“He was talking junk to our players — giving them the throat-slash sign, and you’re trying to de-escalate it, and then he gets in my face,” LaFleur said.

Following the incident, Yousif told CBS News that he was asked to leave the game at halftime, and recently found out that he is not allowed to be a Lions season ticket holder — although he had been one for the last three years. Additionally, he was informed that he was banned from all NFL stadiums until he completes a code-of-conduct course online.

While Yousif expressed understanding that he was in the wrong, he said the situation was “blown out of proportion.”

“It was terrible, I didn’t think it was real at first,” Yousif said of the news. “To completely revoke my tickets and never let me be a season ticket member again, it hurts. It hurts bad.”
