On Sunday, after the event, Spiranac shared a post on X in which she opened up about her experience of attending a football game while talking about fans' abusive behaviors. She wrote:

"I’m sadly not shocked by the fan behavior at the Ryder Cup because it’s become the norm at most sporting events and in my opinion it needs to change across all sports."

Paige Spiranac went on to explain her experience and said that she attended a football game and a man in front of her was "disgustingly drunk." He was yelling at the players and spilled his drink "everywhere."

Spiranac further added that the man was joined by his young, around seven-year-old nephew, and seeing him, the kid also started "copying him and was yelling the same things."

"I’m not saying you have to sit quietly. You can have passion, chirp, have fun banter, enjoy yourself at the event or game but there’s a line and it’s crossed so many times now," she added.
