Last week, a wild situation took place during Monday night’s NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers when a spectator ran onto the field with pink flares in a form of protest. When security was unable to apprehend the protester quickly, Rams players Takkarist McKinley and Bobby Wagner took matters into their own hands by tackling the protester, and it looks like they might have caused a serious injury.
The protester, identified as Alexander Taylor, filed a police report after the incident with his spokesperson alleging “blatant assault” by Wagner. The police report reveals that Taylor suffered some serious injuries as a result of the incident, including a burn on his arm and a concussion.
“Mr. Taylor had a headache, concussion without loss of consciousness, and a burn on his inner right bicep,” cops said in the report, according to TMZ Sports.
The burn on his arm is likely due to the pink flare Taylor carried onto the field. The concussion, meanwhile, is due to Wagner’s tackle.
Wagner revealed after the game that he was simply helping out security by tackling the protester.
“I just saw somebody running on the field, and he looked like he wasn’t supposed to be on the field,” Wagner said after the game. “I saw security was having a little problem, so I helped him out.”
The police are continuing to investigate the incident.
He hit his widdle head ...
Well, the NFL dude DID rub some dirt on it.
Translation, Fan Lawyers Up.
series injuries.
The Rams and NFL will be writing this idiot a check.
Easy case to win.
It is not the job of the LA Rams players to provide on field security and when they did, they caused injury.
Are they gonna call roughing the passer here, too?
It was a hugh hit.
Bet that helmet to the face didn’t feel good.
Loved the crumpled pile of smoking purple protestor.
You may win the settlement, but you’ll never live to enjoy it.
He should thank his lucky stars he pulled that stunt in CA - Here in TX we can shoot trespassers.
hugh headache.
A Hugh settlement?
Looked to me like the “protester” ran into Mr Wagner .
Mr Wagner had the right to be there. The “protester” did not.
In line with the lawyer code of ethics, the protestors injuries are in direct proportion to the players salary.
“I felt my life, and my teammates lives, were in danger so I defended myself.”
Popo 101
No sympathy here.
He should have stayed off of the field, but no, he wanted attention for his widdle cause.
Sad thing is, this protester is now going to be rewarded and the football player punished, because I am not going to be on the jury....
It was a gadget play.
NFL dude shouldn’t have led with his helmet. A simple shove would have sufficed. Though the perp got what he deserved, I’m afraid NFL dude might live to regret it.
He’ll need to jot this down in his Book of Serious Injuries.
