Paige Spiranac has reached her breaking point. Following the unruly conduct of fans during the Ryder Cup, the golfer-turned-influencer had harsh words for sports fans in general-especially football fans.
The Ryder Cup took place this weekend at Bethpage Black, drawing an unprecedented number of attendees. This year’s event was marked by intense fan involvement, turning the Farmingdale, New York course into a carnival-like atmosphere.
But not all moments were celebratory, and Spiranac didn’t hold back. “I’m sadly not shocked by the fan behavior at the Ryder Cup because it’s become the norm at most sporting events and, in my opinion, it needs to change across sports,” she said, before taking aim at football fans.
Spiranac doesn’t hold back on football fans
Spiranac, one of golf’s most prominent influencers, often engages with other sports. However, her latest experience at a football game left her deeply disappointed-thanks to one particularly disruptive fan.
“I was at a football game recently, and this man in front of me was disgustingly drunk,” Spiranac shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter). She described how the fan was “yelling the most vile sh*t at players and opposing fans in the stands, spilling his drink everywhere, wanting to fight people.”
She said the man’s behavior ruined the experience for her and those nearby. Even worse, “his young (maybe 7 years old) nephew was right next to him, listening to everything. At one point, the kid started copying him and was yelling the same things, and the family was laughing.”
What’s happening to sports fans?
Although Spiranac didn’t specify whether she was at an NFL game, her experience is far from isolated. Recent incidents at Phillies and Giants stadiums have shown similarly disturbing behavior, including fans snatching souvenirs from children who had rightfully won them.
As Spiranac put it, “I’m not saying you have to sit quietly. You can have passion, chirp, have fun banter, enjoy yourself at the event or game, but there’s a line-and it’s been crossed so many times now.” Many fans echoed her sentiment, warning that, sadly, this likely won’t be the last time.

The numbers behind Neville’s most damning Amorim criticism yet
Gary Neville has delivered his most damning verdict on Ruben Amorim's Manchester United yet as the under-pressure Portuguese coach readies for a crunch clash against Sunderland this weekend. Amorim fell to another sobering defeat as a rampant Brentford beat United 3-1 at the Gtech last weekend. It denied Amorim the chance to end a dismal record of failing to secure back-to-back league games in the same season since May 2024. United now sit in 14th, having lost three games this season, losing two and drawing one of their six fixtures, which has prompted huge concerns for Neville.

Kaviárové centry, hedvábná levačka. Francouzi jsou nadšeni z Karabce
Dva přesné centry na hlavu spoluhráčů, dva góly. U první trefy Karabec skvěle využil zaváhání rakouského brankáře, který chyboval při rozehrávce. „Jakmile jsem viděl, že má Adam míč, čekal jsem mimořádný centr. Pak už to pro mě bylo jednoduché,“ chválil českého spoluhráče střelec Satriano, jenž otevřel skóre.„Vím, co dokáže. Hodně jsme spolu trénovali právě na tenhle zápas,“ doplnil autor branky.Ještě před Karabcem mohl rozvlnit síť jiný Čech v základní sestavě Lyonu. Pavel Šulc si vzal na starost pokutový kop, ale selhal. Ve zbytku zápasu však bývalý plzeňský záložník svou aktivitou pomohl k cennému vítězství.Francouzská média se ale vracela hlavně ke Karabcovi. Podle hodnocení L’Équipe i statistických webů typu Livesport patřil mezi nejlepší hráče utkání. Nejvíce oceňovali jeho technickou vyspělost a kreativitu. „Byl to od něj mimořádně vyzrálý výkon.
