Santos' players have apologized after a confrontation with the Brazilian club's fans in a live online chat video.
The players argued with fans throughout last Wednesday's session, and the incident was widely reported by several websites and TV sports shows in Brazil.
After a fan wrote that goalkeeper Felipe has ''lettuce hands,'' the player replied by saying: ''What I spend on food for my dog is what you make in a month.''
Felipe said Tuesday that ''it was a joke that got misinterpreted. I apologize if anybody was offended by it.''
