Is there precedence for this? The shove really wasn’t that much but I’m curious if there’s an nfl policy about it

[–] Autobot-N@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

IIRC Davante Adams shoved a guy last year but it was an employee, not a fan

[–] silentkiller082@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Believe it or not they flagged Josh Allen for intentional grounding right after.

Not good not good.

[–] Dinnermaster@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I don’t blame him one but. Football is incredibly emotional and these fans are just complete jackasses. Gotta contain yourself, but he’s human too, it’s normal to get pissed off

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

People are entitled to their feelings. They are not entitled to their actions.

Do you think this is the first NFL game in history in which a fan has heckled an opposing player?

[–] BaltimoreBadger23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

There's no way for a player to "win" that situation. Best off just staying away and asking for team security to handle it if it's truly out of bounds. I have no doubt that what was said would have warranted a beating if said to his face on the street (not advocating for that, just pointing out the protection fans have by being in a stadium vs saying it to a dude on the street).

[–] jawntist@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, words should definitely be met by physical harm, great take there.

[–] BaltimoreBadger23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

"not advocating for that"

[–] Whaty0urname@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

100%. I'm pretty sure, regardless of the stadium, if a player says "Hey that guy right there said XYZ, please have him removed." That would be the end of it. It's not like players are used to insults being hurled at them so we have to know it was something terrible.

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

Yeah. I hate the whole "well they're athletes and emotions are high".

Bitch there was coke on the sales floor where I worked, kegs, and aggressive growth goals. I ain't shoving anyone.

[–] UsVsWorld@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Shit happens. Hopefully no suspensions or fines come from this

[–] Infinite_Mind7894@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No.

Example needs to be made. Professional athletes should NEVER go near opposing fans during a game. That's just common sense. Beyond that, pros shouldn't engage any random normal person. There's no challenge there, especially when they're padded up. Don't make this normal behavior. There's enough of that shit in the world already.

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

Why? What a baffling comment. You think it’s okay for players to be violent with fans for talking shit? By doing nothing the league would basically be saying it’s open season on fans. I hope he is punished. Most of us in this thread would be out on our ass jobless if we pulled this at work. He’s a person just like us and should face the same consequences just like us.

[–] tbarron7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Luckilly for the Bills, it was a horse collar push, so absolutely no consequences are warranted.

[–] Quirky-Lawyer-3409@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] ktbsquared@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Whaty0urname@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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."

[–] pickleparty16@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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

Fuck around and file a lawsuit when you find out

[–] Beahner@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (11 children)

“Appears” to shove.

Just saying it wasn’t clear that he made contact with the fan. If there is another angle that the league can see that shows it he needs to be sat down a bit. That’s a no doubter.

But all I see is the fan jump back a little. Could be contact. Could just be a flinch from Phillips and the fan stepping back. Can’t say for sure.

As a lawsuit goes (if there was contact)…meh. Stupid. Player should never make contact. Let league handle. Fan was clearly instigating. As a lawsuit goes, just meh.

[–] ReggieCousins@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Right, it clearly wasnt meant to cause injury and no one was hurt. Slap on the wrist. Emotions got the better of them in a tight game. Not cool but not a big deal.

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

Exactly. I don’t know if many Eagles fans will say it, but I will. That guy might have been being an absolute asshole.

Best overall would be to ignore, but I have no issue going and jawing. If that was indeed contact that’s the line as far as the league goes.

It will be absolutely litigious. It just shouldn’t be.

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

Kind of like you appeared to commit dozens of penalties but the refs swallowed their flags? Maybe take the win instead of complaining the refs couldn't do more to screw over your opponents?

Absolutely brutal look for Lawson.

  1. You can do that.

  2. You didn’t even get the fan to back down. 😂

[–] MrBigPenisUSA@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Philly fans are all Randy Marsh. And we didn't hear no bell.

Good. Fans think they can say whatever they want without consequences. We need another Malice in the Palace.

That fan should have taken acting lessons from Josh Allen and flopped completely backwards

If they sue they'll get a bigger check than Shawn Hochuli if they sue.
