"The team issued an apology on social media on Thursday, which said, it's not our place to overstep like we did. We are sorry and hopefully we can wash this one off. Hickman told DurhamRegion.com in an article published Thursday that he gets a lot of complaints from fans about the [person] next to them smelling like cat pee, bad breath, this, that and everything else. He told the news outlet that these complaints have increased in the last month."
