Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins(notes) was not happy on Monday night as he entered the tunnel to the locker room. Part of it was that his team had just lost 20-17 to the Chicago Bears.
The other reason is an incident that the NFL is now investigating. It involved a confrontation between Collins and a fan in the stands who was shouting racial epithets, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"According to a source familiar with the incident, the fan used a racial slur and spit at Collins, hitting him in the face as he stood in the tunnel," the paper wrote. Collins, who had only paused to lob his gloves to a Packers fan, kept on going but then came back out and threw his mouthpiece at the misbehaving fan.
So now the NFL is investigating. As for Packers coach Mike McCarthy? "I understand Nick's story as far as what happened and what our security people that were there," he told the paper, "and I support Nick 100%."
