JustInFudge Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 https://sports.yahoo.com/tyreek-hill-reportedly-wants-legal-action-taken-patriots-fan-threw-beer-195600257.html Apparently, the New England Patriots banning the fan who threw beer on Tyreek Hill wasn’t enough for the Kansas City Chiefs receiver. Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hill and his agent Drew Rosenhaus want legal action to be taken against the fan. Schefter reported that Hill and his agent are discussing their options with the league and NFLPA. CBS Boston said the fan, a 21-year-old male from Mansfield, Massachusettes, was identified by Foxborough Police and will be charged with disorderly conduct. Hill and Rosenhaus are focused on the larger issue of player safety. Tyreek Hill wants fan to be prosecuted Rosenhaus had a brief comment to Schefter about the situation. “That type of behavior is unacceptable,” Rosenhaus told Schefter. “Players have to be protected. We want that fan to be prosecuted.” Cork Gaines ✔@CorkGaines Pats fan sprays beer all over Tyreke Hill. 11:23 PM - Oct 14, 2018 44 118 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy It is something the NFL doesn’t want to see happen again. The next time something worse than a beer shower could happen, though no fan has the right to throw beer or anything else at a player. The Patriots took the correct measure of banning the fan who threw the beer from the front row. A fan also flipped the middle finger at Hill after his third touchdown. If Hill can find a legal reason to pursue prosecution, it would send a strong message to other fans about what’s not acceptable at football games. NFL doesn’t want more bad fan behavior It’s worth pointing out that a bad fan or two doesn’t represent all Patriots fans. But it’s not like there aren’t other stories of NFL fans acting inappropriately at games. The Patriots said in their statement that the matter was turned over to local law enforcement, and we’ll see if Hill and Rosenhaus continue to push the matter. But, if nothing else, it’s a good moment for the NFL and the union to assess what can be done at stadiums to prevent this type of behavior, before something worse happens.

nyjunc Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I think they should prosecute fans who do that, they need to set an example that this behavior will not be tolerated. Fans can boo, yell, scream all they want. Under no circumstances should they hit or throw anything at a player, coach, ref, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hill taunt the fan? Because if not, I don't see the problem with this action. A beer seems harmless enough but what if it's hot coffee, or a something harder than a paper cup? What if a fan threw something at Anderson and he had to come off the field during actual game time to clean up? Patriots did all they could, but I don't know that drunk fans will see that as enough of a deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 In a vacuum I think criminal charges for throwing beer at a player is excessive but I think within context it's important to create clear rules and boundaries for this sort of thing to deter the behavior. Throw anything at a player? Banned for life and criminally charged. Make sure people know it's unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofstra Jet Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 You're responsible for your actions. If Hill was at a bar and this happened, he might have beat the s out of him, and the fan sued. The fan/idiot threw beer on an adult, he knew what he was doing. If he didn't, well, he should have drank less. The less people who are wasted at games acting a fool, the better/safer the environment is for everyone else around the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw the play, you wouldn't say that. He was running full tilt and it took him past the end zone. He pulled up and started to turn when the fan sprayed beer on him while the rest of those idiots gave him the finger. I'd sue the stupid bastard just for being a stupid bastard.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 100% agree that Hill should be protected from that type of behavior - fans have no right to throw anything at the players, (hey pats* fans) throw beer on the band at a rock concert and watch what happens my only concern with legal charges is we are talking about a 21 year with bad taste who made an incredibly stupid decision - a criminal record could impact his life - guess he is old enough to have kids and fight in a war but that would suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a ticket to a game does not give you the right to throw anything at players. Anything. Remember a few years back when fans were throwing bottles and batteries at outfields and pitchers in the bullpens? Either you nip it in the bud, or you invite people to see how close they can get to the 'line'. I'd rather not have a line. Fan-on-Player, Fan-on-Fan, Player-on-Fan violence should be shut down hard and with extreme prejudice IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
