Fine not suspend DK

[Sir Lambert]

James Harrison body slammed a Cleveland fan and he didn't get any punishment. Metcalf whiffs on his stalker and gets two games...unfair.

But, like you said, it was a Cleveland fan.

[Sir Lambert]

might as well just be what he claims to have been called

I don't think such a post should be tolerated here. This person does not speak for all Steelers fans, and I, for one, strongly disagree with this sentiment.

Same. No need for this garbage.

Some punk dressed in blue hair talking trash at someone who he has known history with, that clown was begging to get popped. And he clearly got what he wanted.

DK needs to think about his actions and committ to not taking the bait, but I'd wager 10 out of 10 people would rather take DK's jab than Chase's loogie.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

There is nothing wrong with what burg said. He explained it well.

He didn’t use the words you soft asshats hear 24/7 going through your head in his post. It’s what was called out a few pages earlier surmising what might occur.

DK decided to follow his passions and accelerate the situation with this guy he’s had a history with

Bad choices. He’s got to be smarter

It’s no different than chase lying about being spit on

The slur used seemed to be alluded to the guy calling DKs mom. “C”

But let’s attack burg, Some of you guys are the biggest pussies ever birthed by “woman”

Thing about the N-Word for me is, Who Cares. I literally could careless. Know why, I don't let one word control me. I don't let one word control my emotions, how I act, have power over me. Only a weak minded person allows one word to control their lives. Not me.

You allow a word to have power over you, thus a person who uses it now also has power over you. Then you get how DK reacted. That dude has power over him. See

As a man, I refuse to allow another man to have power over me because of a Word. DK is weak minded

Didn't look like DK made contact with his fist at all, but I'm guessing they don't like the optics of a punch being thrown.

I still maintain my position that while these 2 actions aren't the SAME, they are similar enough in nature where the same punishment should be maintained.

If Jackson got 2 games for his, I'd be fine with DK getting 2. And that is my entire beef with this punishment.

1. We can point this out all day long. Jackson didn't initiate any interaction with a fan. He can rightfully claim self-defense and not against derogatory words.
2. DK's dopey ass walked on over to the fan and put himself into this situation willingly.

The NFL doesn't care about like punishments even when the situations are the same or similar. They don't even call stuff on the field consistently. They can rightfully point to very clear cut distinctions between what Jackson did and what Metcalf did.

How about not taking offense and throwing accusations because of a rhetorical comment about his actions. Chill out bro. I'm not a fucking racist. You're ok with a pro athlete throwing a punch at a fan and then pulling the race card? Personally I am damn sick of that shit, and I know many African Americans who fee the same way I do. And this is coming from a lifelong liberal. Dont attempt to cast judgement and label me.

**Edit - after reviewing my comment, people obviously misinterpreted which word I was referring to in the sentence.

What garbage? The garbage I was falsely accused of by another poster? and now your jumping on the pile. I didnt call DK any names and I'm not a racist. I'm stating a rhetorial comment about his actions in light of his excuse for them. If even the mere concept of that offends you, I dont know what to say.

Thank you. the sheer level of pu$$ies on here, the mere concept of me alluding to the use of the N word in a rhetorical sense and the woke police antennae rise: Theres no need for that garbage here, blah blah. These people need to chill, I aint a racist, and I've bnever been a racist.

If anyone in this scenarios is a racist its DK,, or the people excusing his behavior.

Amen brother. People who truly believe in racial equality are those who dont get triggered by stupid words.

Call what "shit out". my comment? Not DK's behavior? Give it a rest and save your crusading mentality for someone else. This agenda thats formed because of a reference I made in my post which was completely rhetorical and has now been taken completely out of context so racial crusaders can puff their chest? This post is about our star player throwing a punch at a fan, not an misintpretation of a single sentence in much larger context.

Jeez. I swear I could write a 10 page story and some people will review it just to try to find something to get triggered by. Its fucking tiresome.

[CKSteeler]

Myles Garrett lied his ass off about getting called that word to justify swinging a helmet at a Steeler.

Take the homer glasses off for a moment and realize that the same is actually possible with Metcalf.

And even if the bozo fan *did*I use that word, and I struggle to buy that story because this fan was surrounded by fans of both teams who almost certainly would have supported Metcalf's version of events by this point, Metcalf is the one who put himself in the position for it to happen by approaching said fan.

Beyond that, no nasty word justifies Metcalf swinging on the dude. Top it all off, it was just dumb given what he stood to lose from doing so. Metcalf has to control himself in that situation or, better yet, just don't approach said fan to begin with. Nothing good was going to come out of it.

[CKSteeler]

I didn't lose any respect for Metcalf here, for the record. If I have any respect for a pro athlete I don't actually know, it's for what they can do on the field and my opinion of him is unchanged in that regard. As a football player and I can only speak to him as a football player, he's fairly selfless.

But the guy has *alwas* been a hothead on the field and that clearly extended to semi-off the field here. Given what he has to lose here and given the reality that the fan almost certainly instigated this stupidity, I don't inherently begrudge him if he exaggerates. I don't think it's going to work, but I get it.

But the people acting as if it's out of line to question the story and who want to make that racist and borderline political can fuck off. Everything about what Metcalf did was retarded.

[the-other-burg]

For all those who were offended by one sentence in my earlier post, I re-read my entire post to try to find the 'offensive' context and so I've added an explanation to the end.

It sucks that I even had to do that and defend myself from other posters, but it aint worth it to me to have people throwing labels on me, so i lowered myself to justifying what exactly was meant by my words (hint - i wasnt even referring to the word people seem to think I was, but I guess you have triple check nowadays)

[CKSteeler]

And Mike Tomlin, the black Jesus of sports himself, has come out and said he doesn't condone what Metcalf did. SO spare me the bullshit.

[SteelPro]

The only reason I give DK any benefit of the doubt here are the reports that he previously reported this same fan to security last season. If you have an employee that reports a problem customer and you do nothing about it and a further altercation ensues someone has to answer for that. That doesn’t mean DK shouldn’t be punished. He most definitely should.

This is where people are missing a HUGE component to this story.

DK is already annoyed, but he likely sees it's the same fucking fan again and goes off.
Again, won't condone what he did but I fully understand his reaction bc it comes off that security doesn't care so he has to take matters in his own hands

[CKSteeler]

The only thing I want to know is why in the hell Metcalf walked over to the sideline to begin with. What did the 'fan' say to get his attention and bring him over to the crowd.

People in general need to just calm down. Steelers are making their annual Wild Card game unless they completely shit the bed and even then Baltimore may shit it even worse.

[Deebo]

Just as I suspected, this was an attempt to goad DK into something. Fuck this dude

Not one person has defended this bozo. I'm fairly certain you can hear other fans mock him in the video. It's been obvious from the start that he wanted to get a reaction out of Metcalf.

Metcalf obliged and cost himself a few hundred thousand and voided the guarantees in his contract.

With that coming out. I want to know what the lions ford field security are the fuck doing

Looks like nothing especially this known rowdy superfan

Gonna see if he’s made an example of by Lions

He does this to all visiting teams from what I’ve read

The video in that link taken by another fan and which catches the audio completely backs up the fan's version of events and is basically a dagger to Metcalf's story. I was wondering why something like that hadn't come out.

I guarantee this guys lawyers have already spoken to fans sitting nearby to see if the story the fan gave them was true because they're going to sue for this.

Metcalf pulled a Garrett/Chase here.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/hes-be ... lawyers-up

The Brief:
The Lions fan involved in an altercation with DK Metcalf denies using racial or misogynistic slurs during the incident.
The fan has now layered up with Shawn Head.
Metcalf was suspended 2 games for the incident.

Local perspective:
Meanwhile, the fan is getting some heat.

"He’s been receiving threats via voicemail and electronic messages, and he’s in fear for his personal safety and his family’s," Head said.

Last season, Head said Metcalf, then with the Seattle Seahawks, reported Kennedy for misconduct from the stands. It was investigated by both teams.

"Again, there was no misconduct found by Mr. Kennedy last year either," Head said.

In terms of next steps, Kennedy’s attorneys say they’re exploring their options.

DK Metcalf plans to appeal the NFL’s decision on the suspension.

it sure does, but i think the fan's statement will be the sticking point. Unless this started before the said altercation by cat calls from the sideline to DK. Whole thing sucks, but the fact there is a history, the fan is a douche

[CKSteeler]

And ironically,. given that the punch didn't seem to really connect here, the fan may get more money simply because because of the accusation of what he said. Metcalf's best defense will be that he never said that publicly, but if he can prove that he passed that info on to former players who repeated it for him, he may get some sheckles for that.

Harrison and Chad Ocho Stinko are talking about this and have been repeating DKs story. That could get sticky
