"I started trash-talking the other team, so I get that, but I really don't think getting to this level was necessarily warranted," Yousif told the station. 

LaFleur appeared to get into a shouting match with Yousif after the presentation of the American flag, which Yousif had been on the field holding. The two were eventually separated by Packers staff and game officials, but the incident left the veteran head coach stunned. 

"I've never been a part of something like that," LaFleur told reporters after the game. "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."

"It was terrible, I didn't think it was real at first. To completely revoke my tickets and never let me be a season ticket member again, it hurts. It hurts bad." 

He expressed understanding for having been in the wrong, but added that he believes that the situation has been "blown out of proportion."
