Im confused as to the story Lawson is trying to spin here. If there were repeated credible threats against him and his family members in the past then this is something to take to the police and not the internet. I also question his ability to somehow be able to pick out this one fan by sight. If this is a fan talking shit on a sideline then bro you have to tune it out addressing it is just going to make every single away game you play living hell because fans now know who to heckle.
Yeah also claiming “racism” or “I was threatened” can’t become a get out of jail free card for players to take out their frustration on fans. Fans crossing a line is unacceptable but you just call security and get them permanently banned from the stadium or something. That will hurt them more than a shove ever could.
His story frankly doesn’t matter. He crossed a line he shouldn’t have crossed regardless.
A lot of extremely clear bias in your comment which im sure you probably didn’t mean to show. Firstly, he explicitly states he did call security and they didn’t do anything. Secondly, it stops being a professional setting when you or your family get threatened. Just because they get paid millions of dollars does not mean they should shoulder threats, or even if it wasn’t, harassment. I know in Philly sports it’s a part of the culture but like you and I, no one wants to have to deal with this type of stuff. Hopefully he isn’t making an excuse but Philly isn’t exactly known for having the nicest fans towards opposing or even home teams.
TYPICAL reply from the worst fanbase in sports.
Typical idiot who believes everything. Truth just came out softie was lying
Security were informed and they were cool with it because he is on the away team.
