And he had a furious altercation with a Packers supporter Ally Keller.
The argument was shared on social media by Keller’s fiance Alexander Basara.
Caldwell could be heard multiple times calling her a “dumb c***” while her fiance Alexander Basara recorded the incident.
He has since been fired from his job.
The Eagles fan issued an apology Wednesday but also claimed the clip didn’t show the full context.
He told the New York Post, “While attending an NFL game last Sunday to support my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, an incident occurred that I deeply regret.
“What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable.
“In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller.
“I want to sincerely apologize to Ms. Keller for those words, and to my wife, family, and friends, my former employer and colleagues, Packer fans, Eagle fans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the City of Philadelphia, and all who were offended.”
Caldwell was yelling at Keller from his seat in the row behind.
He then turned on Keller’s fiance, asking “Are you going to do anything?”
And he added “Shut the f*** up.”
But in his interview with the New York Post, Caldwell claimed, “That said, there are two sides to every story.
“The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation.
