THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The fan who ran onto the field during the Los Angeles Rams' loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night filed a police report against Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner.
According to TMZ Sports, the individual is an activist for the Berkeley-based animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere and was trying to "raise awareness for a trial involving the alleged theft of pigs from a factory farm."
Wagner said Wednesday that he's aware of the police report, but the incident is behind him.
"Can't really focus on it," Wagner said. "I'm more concerned about the security guard that was hurt trying to chase him. ... You just got to do what you got to do."
Wagner reiterated on Wednesday that as players, you never know what a person has in their hands or their pockets when they're on the field.
"There's consequences for your actions," Wagner said.

The game was in Santa Clara. If on the remote chance it goes to trial the jurors would favor the protester.

The courts have a serious opportunity to set a precedent and prompt a whole bunch of copycats in future NFL games.

I’ll take my chances seating the jury as a defense attorney.

Sorry...I thought it was in LA. Yes,this increases the chances of a big settlement or judgment.

Santa Clara County voted 74% for Biden. It is a far left area.

I was hoping for a fully Terry Tate smash, and what I got was really pretty weak. If I were the magistrate involved I’d throw this right out.

Running across a field is less criminal than shoplifting.
Not when you are carrying something that is ignited and spewing smoke in a full arena.

Good point, I will leave my name on the jury register just in case.

After watching the video, I see that two players were involved - why is the focus only on Wagner? Because he’s a star?
To: TexasGator
I should have been more specific...”that the NFL settles for serious $$$ or there’s a jury verdict for serious $$$”

Security should have given him a chance to taste some hot lead

Guarantee Wagner only put a fraction of energy into the takedown. He’s got a list of tackling records in his stellar career as linebacker.

only in CA. All wagner has to say is he felt threatened by a fan ILLEGALLY on the field during play He did say something along those lines, and he mentioned not knowing if the smoke coming out of the canister the guy had was dangerous.

Yeah. Me too.
OTOH, it doesn’t take much of a hit if you’re all suited up in a helmet and pads and the other guy’s not. That protester is going to ache for days. Serves him right. What a jerk.

Of course not, but a disturbance that might set people panicking in a crowded public venue could cause all sorts of problems. The location changes the severity of the act. Imagine if he did it in LAX.
