November 21st, 2011 - 7:39 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Nov 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) New York Jets’ coach Rex Ryan is expected to be fined by the NFL for verbally abusing a fan. The coach got into a verbal exchange with a fan during the halftime break in the game between the Jets and the New England Patriots. ESPN cites a source near the NFL as saying that Ryan may be fined between $75,000 and $100,000 for his action.
Ryan has apologized for the exchange with the fan which was caught on camera. The fan who cannot be seen on the camera could be heard saying “Hey, Rex, Belichick is better than you.” To that, Ryan shouted back, “Shut the f— up.”
After the game on Sunday, Ryan issued an official apology on Monday. In the apology, the coach said that, “I was emotional, it was an emotional time. I obviously made a mistake. I was full of emotion and just popped off. Obviously, I know I represent the National Football League, I know I represent the Jets, and I know it was a mistake. I apologize for it.”
This is not the first time that Ryan will be in trouble for clashing with fans. The coach was fined $50,000 by the Jets when he gestured to the fans in 2010.
