Nick Collins.... umad?

[Kuzzy Powers]

Packers FS Nick Collins was seen throwing an unknown object at a Bears' fan while leaving the field following the Packers' 20-17 loss.
Fox 6 Sports Milwaukee is reporting that Collins was provoked by a fan who spat his way and called him a racist expletive, promoting Collins to "go crazy" and "attack". The station reportedly has video of the incident that can't be shown until Tuesday due to NFL guidelines.

Cost his team a brutal penalty last night, now gonna cost himself some moolah.

Professional athletes SHOULD know better but there are some retarded fans who deserved to get shit thrown at them. Obviously Collins let his emotions get the better of him but his team just lost a game and then you have some dickhead fan spitting at you and calling you the n-word? (I am assuming that's what was said). Shit talk all you want but some people just take it too damn far.

I've never understood racist sports fans. If you're the type of person to yell the n word at someone why are you watching a sport filled with black players to begin with?

A lot of times its not about being racist as much as its about getting a reaction out of someone. I'm sure after Collins reacted the fan started pointing and laughing with his idiot friends.

I wish there was something that could be done about fans acting like idiots, but there really isn't anything that can be done. Players just have to learn to deal with it and move on.

I wish he would've gone full Ron Artest on his ass.

But really. Stay classy Bears fans. I do have a lot of respect for the Bears and Bear fans and I'm pretty sure that was just one bad apple.

Him, and about 5 other players.

Him, and about 15 other players.

Fixed that for you.

Some places have rules about using offensive language but I don't think they're ever enforced.

I hate how the fans are basically allowed to do whatever they want without fear of repercussion. I know that's ultimately where the money comes from but still...you call someone a racial expletive and spit at them you should have to deal with the consequences.

The best thing that can be done about it IMO is to not fine Collins (assuming the story is true).

15? There were multiple on the same player. Mark Tauscher had 5(3 false starts, and 2 holding) just by himself. Collins had the personal foul on the Forte tackle. I dont think he was flagged for anything else.

Every penalty hurts, but not all of them killed a play like some did. Just referencing the OP's misguided statement at Collins.

Burnett's PI(negated the Collins INT)
Zombo's helmet-to-helmet on Cutler(negated the Barnett INT)
Tauscher's holding(negated TD pass to Finley)

Chicago has one of the most hated quarterbacks, and OCs in the game. It's only right that the fanbase join in, and became one of the most obnoxious, hated fan bases in the NFL. If their success continues, Chicago has the fans to pull it off.

The bully's of the north are finally back.

Not a moment too soon either, because I don't know about you Bears fans, but I got sick of seeing that division pussified by Green Bay and Brett Favre.

You mean the guy that has started more consecutive games (and won the majority of them) than any other person in the history of the most violent sport on the planet at its most dangerous position?

Doubt he'll see anything but a few grand out of his bank account. Not worth a suspension by any means.

Hey, it's always easy to act rough from far away(same thing with the nonsense on internet forums and talk shows). The coward wouldn't have the balls to say that shit to someone's face in the street, without his buddies to back him up.

You like the n words on your team....all the other n words can cram it.
