When you're a fan at a sporting event, you run on a field at your own risk.

Famous image of Reggie Jackson of the New York Yankees running off the field after the final out of the 1977 World Series:

One of those fans got belted and flew about six feet in the air when he got in Jackson's way. You can see it around the 0:22 mark of the clip below:

Yep, she “ran with the bulls” and was awarded for her efforts.

The Great Keith Jackson and the asskissing Howard Cosell

Fans should stay off the field, period

That was the series that Jackson stuck his big ass out and was hit by the ball being thrown to first. IIRC: the Yankees went on to score that inning and to win the game, then the series. If he had not interfered the outcome of that game may have been different.
