From Madison.com:
Detroit Lions team president Tom Lewand apologized to UW Marching Band director Mike Leckrone on Monday afternoon after reports surfaced that center Dominic Raiola verbally abused members of the band Sunday at Lambeau Field.
“He said that he hadn’t fully investigated but he knew enough that an apology was due,” Leckrone said. “I thought it was a heartfelt and welcomed gesture.”
In a Facebook post, UW band member Zach York accused Raiola of making verbal insults, some sexual in nature, prior to the Green Bay Packers’ 22-9 win over the Lions.
Leckrone said five or six band members told him during the game that Raiola verbally abused them while standing in the end zone at the end of their pregame performance.
Six to eight other band members who overheard Raiola’s tirade offered similar versions, he added.
The band gave pregame and halftime performances at the game.
In York’s Facebook post Sunday night, he wrote:
“Dominic Raiola is literally the worst person I have ever had the fortune to encounter.
After marching down the field awaiting the national anthem, he went off on a verbal tirade, among other things, questioning my sexuality (as a band member) and then continued on to bring my sister and my recently deceased mother into the conversation. After I refused to give him the satisfaction of turning to look at him, he switched targets to a trombone ranting at him calling him overweight and saying he can’t play a real sport.”

What do you expect from a team that has the dirty player, Ndamukong Suh?
Maybe a drug test may be order for Raiola as he behaved like a person on some kind of illegal drug.
I hope he enjoys sitting out the next game.
