Dude needs to get a major suspension for touching a fan. Absolutely not okay. The NFL doesn’t need anymore of a reputation for protecting shit human beings.
It's Philly, I believe Lawson
He’s a liar and an even bigger bitch now lol
Yeah. Like hitting people in the stands.
Athletes know that they are the men in the arena, there really is nothing aside from imminent physical threat that should make you care about a thing outside of the field of play. Focus on the game, then go back to focusing on your life.
Only in Philadelphia would security be informed of a man making death threats to players and their families, and security's like "Nah, he's fine to keep doing that." Eagles fans are the absolute fucking worst.
Crazy that in a section with hundreds of people, nobody has come forward to confirm that any death threats were made and nobody has any video or audio evidence of it. What we do have are corroborating stories from witnesses saying fans were jawing with Phillips throughout the game and vice versa and footage of Phillips having a meltdown screaming at security before physically confronting a fan. Which do you honestly believe - unsupported hearsay from a guy looking to excuse his lapse of judgment or actual evidence suggesting he just let his emotions get the better of him?
Apology is voided when you say “…but”
Drunk fans are annoying even when they're supporting your team. Guy should have been moved
We don't even know he said anything. The few videos weve seen don't show it.
The guy was clapping on the side of a beer can.
He's annoying no matter what he said

Players should get to punch one fan per season. Most of them are gonna use it on someone bitching about fantasy points
Or ruining their 8 leg parlay they put 5 dollars on.
Allegedly
If I was that Philly fan I would press charges against Lawson. That’s assault.
Shouldn't press charges. Just go straight to the lawsuit.
And that fan wins, they'll brag about it forever. Good job way to give in. Pathetic.
Theres a bunch of videos of fans filming this entire encounter and the events leading up to it. TBH you cant hear shit but i would doubt other Eagles fans would be willing to upload these videos if they corroborated what Lawson is claiming..
97.5 was talking about the video posted by a fan that was sitting two seats away which you could clearly hear what was being said during the alleged exchanges. No threatening remarks as many suspected.
I was down at Dealey Plaza today and shot some video footage. Here's a 3 minute clip, and as you can see JFK is not being shot in this video footage.
Conclusion: JFK is still alive.
There's just no other possible conclusion. The video evidence is clear.

Oh lawd they crossed a line! I’d fine him just for the stupid apology.
They've been like this forever. I'm not sure why anyone is giving Eagles fans the benefit of the doubt.
I mean this is just fucking gross:

Didn’t bears fans stab a fellow bears fan simply because he complimented the Packers?
It would be more surprising if a Philly fan didn’t say something that deserves a punch to the face. That’s kinda their whole thing, right? Be as vile as possible, but know they’re protected and have strength in numbers.
There is a new video where you can hear the interactions from a fan that was just two seats away. Shocking that Lawson is full of shit and there were no threatening of family remarks.
but certain lines shouldn't be crossed
....Like a player shoving a fan?
I’m not going to defend the fan here, but an apology the contains “but” is not an apology.

Ah yes. Changing the narrative to play the victim. You can't push fans.
Surprise… Surprise. Turns out Lawson is full of shit. It’s bad enough to engage with hecklers. Even worse to push a fan. Despicable to then try to justify your actions by blatantly lying on social media. What a POS. He didn’t think there would be other videos of the alleged incident that showed what actually happened? There was no threatening of family members. Hopefully someone will post the new footage soon.
Source… local sports radio was talking about the new footage this morning showing Lawson was lying. They didn’t even think the whole incident was that big of a deal, just questioned why athletes engage with hecklers, and dispelled the accusations of threatening remarks.

The line? Losing the game when you shoulda won
Did the line-crosser face repercussions?
Pure anecdotal life lesson from someone who lived with Eagles fans for over 8 years (in college, then through military) and was around a lot in the Air Force:
There’s two types of Eagles fan. There’s the rational, yet mega-fans; then there’s the toxic pieces of trash that Lawson is describing. You can’t tell the difference at first. My only discernible litmus test I’ve seen is ask them this question: what do you think of McNabb? The toxic pieces of trash can’t stand him. It’s the quickest way I’ve been able to determine their “type.”
There’s the rational, yet mega-fans; then there’s the toxic pieces of trash that Lawson is describing.
This is literally humanity. 🙄 People are such clowns about "Philly fans".

Wonder what Eagles fans have against McNabb. Dude basically revived that franchise during the 2000s.

“I apologize, but I’m not sorry”.
This dude is such a piece of shit. Fans heckle players, it’s a part of the game and always has been. What is not a part of the game is walking off the sidelines and pushing a fan like an uncontrollable jackass.
Isn’t Lawson also the one who made like 3 unbelievably dirty plays on Jergens that night as well where even Tony Romo was sticking up for the Eagles after seeing?
Honestly this guy has no right being in the NFL.
