Fine not suspend DK

[Dan Smith--BYU]

that punch missed deliberately and was a warning shot

wtf is wrong with people thinking they can talk shit to someone so obviously able to destroy them with ease

and yeah DK was stupid for taking the bait

but he did teach the guy a lesson his absent father failed to teach him

DK deserves a suspension for being an idiot. Yeah, dude could get destroyed with ease by DK.. he also could gain life changing money in a lawsuit.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

The fan is named Ryan Kennedy and would not disclose what he said to rile him up but admitted that he intended to provoke an attack.

[K_C_]

He’s getting suspended.

They’ll make an example of DK.

DK could have went to the refs or security and told them what the dude said and could have had him tossed.

Punching fans is a no no.

[punum123]

Fans pay the bills.

DK has to ignore shit talking fans.

It's part of the game.

He deserves to be suspended.

Yes, 100% chance DK is suspended and it might not be for just 1 game.

Yes. And yes he was an idiot. End of story

And yes the fan might.

Just an FYI.. I ran across this on ProFootballTalk…

The league declined to level punishment in a different incident between a fan and players this season. In September, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson shoved a Buffalo Bills fan who had hit the helmet of Jackson and a teammate

[anpsteel]

Boy o boy the participation award folks are up in arms about metcalf



Don’t want to get punched

Don’t start mouthing off


If you wouldn’t say it in public - don’t do it period

Charles Barkley used to regularly get into altercations with obnoxious fans

He tossed one through a window one time


Fans think they have some right to mouth of

Because the player will get in trouble

If your comments would illicit a physical response in a “normal” circumstance- don’t expect any different



I completely agree metcalf should not have engaged the fan

That being said


We don’t know what the asshat was saying


Suppose it was something along the lines of

I’m going to F your daughter

Or some N bomb kind of shit

[steelmann58]

Find him is acceptable

[Steelperch]

League would be more interesting if they let one fan fight a player after every game and televised it. You can fight your own team or the other teams player.

Throw Goodell and Rooney into the mix, show them you want the old NFL back, with good ole knuckle sandwiches

Would redefine the word entertainment

It doesn't matter what the fan said. Only if you fear for your life. And NO, DK was not fearing for his life.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." Remember that growing up?
All DK had to do is walk away or better yet report the fan for inappropriate behavior/conduct.

No victims and no heroes. The fan was an asshole trying to create a lawsuit but DK has to get over the idea that every dis needs to be avenged on the spot.

The card may be available

Worked for Garrett

Just sayin

Like when Garrett was suspended the rest of the season after that?

[tbsteel]

Pretty clear he's going to be suspended. I suspect just a game.

Completely inexcusable and a terrible look for the Steelers organization.

My thoughts


Fuck the fans

All of them. They can all go straight to hell. Rude. Stupid. Entitled. Lame brain. Jackass motherfuckers. Fuck the fans


Also fuck management. Only very slightly better than the fans

Rule 1. The customer is ALWAYS wrong
Rule 2. Management is also ALWAYS wrong

Which player would you choose to fight after this game? I’d watch.

Id choose Tomlin or the Deuce

[Sir Lambert]

I'm sure the coaching staff have been coming down hard on that fool this evening. He let his team down. He won't be available for at least the rest of the regular season.

I figure the fact that he didn't hit him very hard is what keeps this from being a year-long or lifelong suspension.

[sinceiwas4]

why is it we think he will be suspended when the precedent with league is fine only? also lamar jackson shoved a fan a few weeks ago and got no disclipine..now i assume the fan being physical in that case is why jackson got nothing but if the precedent is a fine ..or nothing, why do we think DK will get suspended? the fan has admitted he was trying to draw a reaction. and DK fid not contact the fan noe ofc, dk is dumb af for falling for it but it should only cost him money if thats the precedent as reported

[CKSteeler]

Ocho Cinco is claiming that Metcalf told him the fan called him the N-word and his Mom the c-word. This will be a mitigating factor in the world we live in if that is indeed Metcalf's story. And true or not it probably will be. I believe the guy said something inflammatory to get that reaction.

Fan claims he just called him by his full name which unless there's some weird hang-up I've never seen reported sounds like bullshit.

My issue isn't that Metcalf allowed himself to be 'baited and responded. My main issue which none of you assclowns commented on is the fact that he was anywhere near the fan to allow the shit talking in the first place. This was while the defense was on the field, wasn't it? Echols was hurt. Metcalf had to walk over from the sideline to this fan to even allow him to say dumb shit to antagonize him.

There was no reason at all for Metcalf to even be engaged with that fan. The fact that he walked over to interact with him and then swung is why he's getting a suspension.

Probably a game against the Browns. So no real impact.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Suspend this stupid asshat for rest of year

Fine him 1 mill

New angle of altercation

What do you do when a fan with a blue wig says your full name.

“Do what comes natural”. Michael Pettaway Tomlin, leader of men.

Why should a little taunting and name calling be an excuse for bad behavior? Fan steps out of line then report the guy to security.

It's a road game, unruly fans should be an expectation. Have some self control.

Looks like a case of roid rage, wouldn't be surprised if he gets called in for a piss test.

And he put it on film for opponents to see how easy it is to get into his head.
