We have seen many fights in the stands over the years between fans. Usually, it has something to do with the teams and a combination of being drunk. However, this situation was much different and shows how disrespectful some people can be towards others.

In a video obtained by John Nabors of Inside Arkansas, a man can be seen in a verbal altercation. Soon, the guy could be heard yelling, “Heil Hitler.” The unnamed man also displayed a swastika on his phone and even performed a Nazi salute.

All of his actions resulted in him being punched by a guy sitting behind him in the stands.

“Big boy with the wild hair had a swastika on his phone that was seen by the people behind him after he would never sit down. Then, in this video, you can hear him say “Heil Hitler” before getting smacked,” a post said on X.

Police later escorted several people from the area during the Arkansas-South Carolina game. It was not immediately apparent that arrests were made.

This is not the first time Hitler has come up in and out of sports. Back in 2022, Aaron Rodgers caught major backlash for appearing to do a Nazi salute to Bears fans. He held his arm up so long that it looked like a Hitler salute, which is what social media began accusing him of.

In 2024, Israel Adesanya shared a clip of Hitler, who can be spotted showing off his dance moves. Just last year, Elon Musk caught major backlash over a curious gesture he made during Donald Trump’s inauguration. Musk was one of the many big names who attended the event at the United States Capitol.

He thanked the crowd for “making it happen” before putting his right hand over his heart and pushing it out into the air ahead of him.

As for the Arkansas Razorbacks, they would go on to destroy the South Carolina Gamecocks, 108-74. They improved to 13-4 while the Gamecocks dropped to 10-7.
