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.
When you trespass on the big boys playground. It’s the big boys rules.
Does law school have a Duh 101 class?
These days concussions are like participation trophies — every body gets one.
too bad they did not break his neck.
Stupidity has consequences? Who knew?
Contributory negligence.
The trespasser was carrying an ignited, smoking device. Who knew how destructive the device was? Nobody.
Personally, the players should be considered heroic, as nobody really knew how dangerous the perp was with his device Think of how many people’s lives were saved that day.
I think the protestor should be fined by the stadium for being disruptive, to the tune of whatever he gets paid by the player.
Dumbass ran toward the rams sideline he got hit for being a stupid protester, rams not writing anyone a check.
Boy he really dropped that twist didn’t he.
Plus come on, you know he enjoyed planting that limp wristed white boy like that.
Player just needs to say that he heard racial slurs and was in fear for his life.
Citizens arrest, citizens arrest
If he was carrying an incindiary device then he should be viewed as a potential terrorist.
Any fan who steps into the field of play legally assumes the risk. Numerous fans through the years have been decked by officials and players.
The jerk was in perfect shape...until he talked to a lawyer.
Lock this idiot up. Not rational enough to be out on the loose
A sign on the property: Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

Not true
Had the idiot not decided to run onto the field (which he’s not allowed on) nothing would’ve happened to him
