'Last year, I wore a flashy purple jacket, and I've never been heckled so much at an away game,' she said on TikTok before Sunday's loss to the Lions. Unfortunately for Whitney, things weren't any better on Sunday night in Detroit, where she was once again tormented by attendees.
'Little did I know that I would be heckled, touched and called names at last night's game by Detroit fans (Simply for being Vikings fans),' read a graphic from the TikTok video, which she added after Sunday's loss. And she's apparently not alone. So proud of my husband, finishing his 6th regular season in the National Football League đźâđšđ letâs goooo playoffs!!!!.

Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman's girlfriend Taylor Saunders responded to the Whitney's TikTok post, writing that Lions fans were 'wishing injuries on the opposing players.'. Another Vikings fan added that she had 'the WORST experience at Ford Field.'. 'Men hitting my shoulder pads, one took my horns off my head, one acted like he was going to punch me in the face,' the woman wrote.
