The security guard who went viral for taking a bite off a Packers player's plate after their Thanksgiving game against the Lions was NOT fired for the stunt, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
A Lions spokesperson called fake news on the matter on Monday ... after social media accounts claimed the guy in a video was out of the job for accepting grub off defensive lineman Nazir Stackhouse's plate as he celebrated the 31-24 road win over Detroit.
Stackhouse actually offered him the food ... but the guy hesitated a bit when he noticed a camera pointed right at him.
