This is one of those things that should be zero tolerance. Fine every time and probably a suspension. There can't be any leniency on approaching and pushing a fan. Same way fans can be banned for throwing things at or dumping beers on players.

Nah disagree, fans think they can say whatever they want to players with zero impunity. If you wanna say some foul shit be prepared for the consequences

Yes, going out of your way to incite violence is the answer to the big bad mean words

Agreed. Putting hands on someone for talking trash is going to get you fired at most places of employment. You just can’t go around doing that no matter how obnoxious the other person is.

Hard agree. Idk if the "fan" is calling you the most racist, hateful, inappropriate things. Security needed to be alerted and the fan kicked out. And it's honestly the better response from the player like "I don't even care about you at all, but you're getting kicked out for life."

davante adams shoved a random boom mic guy and the league didnt do anything

[–] BeatlesRays@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d argue there’s a clear difference between going out of your way to approach a fan in the stands to shove him and pushing over a boom operator who you saw one second prior and pushed as he was in your way. Obviously Adams shouldn’t have pushed over the boom guy, but it seems like much more a spur of the moment frustration done to someone working for the NFL, as opposed to going out of your way to shove a paying fan who is in the stands.

I’m generally in agreement, but I think since it was an eagles fan we can all agree to let this one slide.
