Bingo! For that matter the Chiefs may have told him to file a report in the event of a NFL disciplinary action for Adams

Exactly.

I have had it a couple of times. Once from a car wreck and once from a collision playing soccer.

Both cases were mild but still hurt like hell.

When I had MRI's on my neck for disk issues the radiologist said she could see evidence of past whiplash.

Any injury even close to effecting the neck should be taken very seriously.

They probably had him do it just for their own liability protections. ESPN as well if his contract include any type of workmen's comp for injuries while working for them.

Any wagers on what the NFL does to him?
you would think he would be gone for the rest of the year given assaulting a vacuum gets you 4 games.
He will be charged criminally for sure and the kid will settle the Civil action for 6 figures plus medical bills

he's probably going to get a fine and 1-2 game suspension, plus whatever settlement the camera guy gets(which we likely will never know the amount)

Seeing it from another angle, that contact was so light I am wondering if the camera dude flopped like a European soccer player.

Ive had field passes to various sporting events including the NFL and the #1 rule is to never come between a player and the pathway to the field or locker rooms. This guy blindly stepped right in front of DA and got a little shove. If there is a suspension, this world has gone upside down.

@RapSheet
"Point of clarity on #Raiders WR Davante Adams: He has been charged with a city ordinance violation, which is a little lower than a state misdemeanor assault charge, per the prosecutor's office. It carries a fine of $250 to $1K or up to 180 days in jail or both."

I have too. You’re not media. Watch any player, particular superstars, exit the field. They are hounded by cameras usually right smack in their face. Exhibit A. Luckily sneed didn’t shove this guy to the ground.

I don't believe that Kansas City Municipal Court has misdemeanor cases.

A case there is an ordinance violation not a misdemeanor.

The guy Adams pushed is in the concussion protocol… surprised Cheffers didn’t throw a flag on Chris Jones.

Your and idiot.

So he's got a lawyer now, eh?

If he has medical bills from this then he better have one.

It was a very backhanded apology that sounded like Adams was trying to blame the victim. I saw that the court charges mentioned he could get thrown in jail for 6 months. That would be a pretty good way to teach him a lesson. Athletes and celebrities are not above the law.

o:-)That’s what my wife keeps telling me too.

But I still think this is wayyyy blown out of proportion.

Lawyered up and ready to get some of that thug money!!

Good work Park, you deserve it all my friend.

How many are still pearl clutching after viewing it from this angle lol?

Is that not the same angle we've been viewing it from the whole time?

Still looks like assault from a classless Raiders thug from that angle too

Dude gets jammed off his route by a 7th round rookie, collides into a teammate losing the game for them, then assaults a college kid on his first day on the job and gets sued.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

Is it? I’ve watched one from another angle that looks a bit more aggressive and I just saw this particular one a few minutes ago. Admittedly I haven’t scrolled through the whole thread.

Looks bad from that angle too, maybe even worse, the Raider behind Adams didn’t even stop to make sure the assault victim was OK.

First day on the job.

No wonder.

I bet there will be barriers and a few staff policing the tunnel ramp entrance after the Bills game to keep the area clear of clumsy mother****ers running into people.

ROFLMAO

Or maybe Arrowhead security should have been paying closer attention and not allow the idiot to blindly cut Adams off lol

Assault victim…..too funny. The nerd simply lost the incidental contact collusion. ;)

It will get settled out of court and we won't get to learn how much they got out of him.

Adams proved that it doesn't have to be your first day on the job to collide with someone at a critical moment.

Funny how he kept a death grip on the gear while he was falling.

Boss must have hammered the home the lesson of don't drop the shit.

That’s what it will say in the memo line of the check devonte has to write. Just a classless thug and his other teammate is a liar that made up twitter shit. Awful people you root for but you’re used to that by now

Sounds like an insurance case and it will not be Davante Adams' policy that pays it.

NFL and Chiefs will have to indemnify because they set it up so that clumsy mother****ers could run into Raider players.

I suppose all they'd have to do would be to show the last play of the game to prove who the clumsy mother****er is.

You were gone for such a long time. You know that’s still an option right? To be gone from this place?

Suck the kid's dick for as long as you like.

I dunno. Looked dorky to me.

Maybe you’re dorky?

To be fair, I do a ton of dorky stuff. I spend a ton of time running numbers and doing shit like tax planning, capital finance analysis, and accounting. Total dumber monkey dork. I probably don’t look like a dork though because I’m a giant ****ing ogre. I’m sure I look similarly hilarious crammed into a desk staring at a monitor.

:shrug: I read dork. Sue me…. Too early? :D

Why don't you go suck DA's dick...oh wait, you HAVE been.

I don't know if Adams would have stopped to check on the kid or not. It does look like Adams's handler urges him to keep on stepping to get to the lockers. The handler held up and checked his well-being the crowd was in no mood to have a raider hanging in the corridor mouthing off.

You might be onto something. Renfrow looks like a complete nerd dork in street clothes....maybe DA has an affinity for running into dorks. I wonder if Renfrow is going to charge DA for "assault" as well lol

ROFL.

At least you can keep your sense of humor after that game.

Well done.

Hmm. So I just read an article that states that the tunnel in question is supposed to be kept clear of all personnel except players, coaches, etc. In other words, even though this kid was 'credentialed,' he wasn't authorized to be there in the tunnel, or at its entrance, at that time (the end of the game). Further, this violation by the kid could warrant the loss of his credentials.

Interesting.

would've been cool if you, you know, shared this article with the class

That sounds pretty surprising as there are plenty of pictures of players exiting through that tunnel with cameras camped all over the tunnel. Was that reliable or was that just a raider media type speculating? I’ve seen some raiders media chirp this on twitter but nothing beyond that.

Exhibit b

https://www.reddit.com/r/Chargers/co...tm_name=iossmf

I think it will hurt Davante's case that he didn't just level one dork. He was on a dork leveling spree.

Remember that time Josh Allen shoved cameras out of the way for getting in his way after he was hurting from that big playoff loss?

Me neither

Maybe... just maybe... security didn't clear the tunnel because for decades the media has always surrounded players leaving the tunnel, even after a loss.

Shouldn't single out and criticize Adams, every other Raider would have done the same thing.

**** AV Dorks

Look at all the dorks in his way!

No link but I have heard photographers on the field are told they are there at their own risk so to speak. It's considered a privilege to be on the field.

It’s security failure! No team EVER allows media near a tunnel. So raiders fans say after hearing it from a raiders radio guy.

Screw Davante. If it was some douchebag fan doing something dumb I wouldn’t care. He assaulted a guy just trying to do his job.

Switch Davante with Patrick (in Vegas) and you would sing a different tune. The dufus ran right in front of him. No harm no foul.

Some of you acting like he tackled the guy and pummeled him with an ax and then curb stomped him lol

Reality: “They bumped into each other.” Get over it

Mahomes would not have shoved the guy. Bumping into someone does not mean shoving the person.

Try that at work. Someone accidentally bumps into you and you shove them down.

I know when someone accidentally cuts me off walking it's always a 2 hand shove to the ground!

JFC. We got some dumbshits in here trying to justify this attack.

All of those NFL film style shows you like... "The Franchise", "Hard Knocks",... they come from kids holding cameras and mics like this kid.

Not only that, it’s not some drunk guy in Vegas. It’s staff. It would be like mahomes shoving a cafeteria worker who accidentally spilled food while trying to do his job.

Better yet, these athletes have mics and cameras shoved in their face constantly. Has anyone EVER seen someone shove a person? They get grilled if they shove a camera out of the way let alone put hands on the person. The only example j can think of is Rodman. And he got destroyed for it

I can’t believe the gymnastics to defend the guy.

Some of you are so homered. As stated above if roles were reversed, you would be asking what the big deal is.

DA pushed somebody who stepped in front of him and he fell to ground. Golly gee

Nah man. No chance I’d condone that noise.

Putting your hands on someone is never OK.

If it were Mahomes, I’d be hoping the NFL would be lenient but I’d probably go into “because Chiefs” mode and convince myself that he’d be banned from the league.

The size difference alone makes this an assault.

I’m sure my opinion would be way more lenient on the penalty.

But it’ll never sit right with me to have such a temper that you would do this to a staff member. Not a player or coach, a staff member doing their job.

I’m not asking for the death penalty. But we have raider fans and now the media not only making excuses for the behavior they’re going out of their way to pin the blame on the staffer doing their job. They’re saying he should be fired or sued. I’d like to think if it was our own guy I’d at least own up to our guy behaving badly.

It doesn't matter. Pushed him back 5 feet and caused him to bang his head on the ground. That's the tunnel surface not the field. Stop victim blaming. What adams did was uncalled for. If adams really gave a shit like he claimed, he would have stopped to help the kid up and apologize right then and there.

I can’t understand why you’re trying to find a way to defend this. I’m about as “homered” as they come and my opinion of Mahomes would change forever. I don’t care who you are, if someone cuts you off accidentally and your first inclination is to shove them to the ground… you’re a piece of shit.

You're an asshole.

The only pass I would give someone for that reaction is if they believed it was a fan on the field. In that case, punch them in the face and knock them down, dont shove (if it was indeed a fan).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The college student who was injured after being shoved by Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams released a statement Wednesday through his attorney.


Dan Curry with the Brown & Curry Law Firm said the student, who was carrying equipment for a camera operator on his “first day on the job,” has asked to remain anonymous, but through an attorney he said:

"What happened was egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence that should not be excused by the NFL."

Curry said his firm is continuing to investigate the incident and "evaluate his legal options."

Adams was cited Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri, Municipal Court with misdemeanor assault.

As Adams left the field after the Raiders’ 30-29 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, the unnamed college student walked in front of him.

The student didn’t appear to see Adams, who then shoved him to the ground near the tunnel that leads to the stadium’s visitors’ locker room.

Adams didn’t stop to check on the student as he continued up the tunnel.

A security guard helped the student to his feet and continued onto the Chiefs’ sideline.


Eventually, the student went to the hospital complaining of whiplash, a headache and possible minor concussion, according to a KCPD police report of the incident.

ESPN reported that the student was working as a freelancer for its Monday Night Football broadcast.

Adams, 29, has retained J.R. Hobbs, a well-known Kansas City-area defense attorney for the rich and powerful.

Hobbs declined to give a statement about the incident, but said he was working on Adams’ behalf to get in touch with the student, his family or their attorney.

Adams apologized for the shove after the game saying it was partly in “frustration,” but that he “shouldn’t have responded that way.”

"Before I answer anything, I want to apologize to the guy, some guy running off the field. He ran and jumped in front of me coming off the field and I bumped into him and kind of pushed him and I think he ended up on the ground, so I want to say sorry to him for that," Adams said. "That was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in front of me. I shouldn’t have responded that way, but that’s how I initially responded, so I want to apologize to him for that."

Adams is due in city court Nov. 10. He also could face a fine or suspension from the NFL for the incident.

"The matter is under review," an NFL spokesperson said via email to KSHB 41. “We do not have a timeline.”

Las Vegas has a bye this week, giving the league time to decide what, if any, punishment Adams should receive.

Patrick would've signed an autograph for the guy LMAO

Ever been in a crowded bar? Concert? Sporting events? There is no way you can avoid being bumped into.

Could you imagine if our society allowed people to push the bumpee to the ground?

Its also different that he and Adams were in the workplace, both working. Was supposed to be there. This isn't some fan trying to get an autograph. First day on the job, probably doesn't know where he's supposed to be at all times. Obviously, he didn't mean to be there in front of Adams.

That said, if I didn't get hurt, no medical expenses, I wouldn't have filed charges, But, he has that right.

I hope the kid takes some of the money he gets from Adams and throws a huge house party.

Can't hire van Halen anymore

The guy behind him was Malcolm Koonce, the guy that committed the FG penalty and handed the Chiefs a TD.

Has the right to be a money grubbing doosh? Sure. In fact I would encourage him to get what he can from a chance encounter where he suffered no actual injuries other than perhaps some minor bumps. The "injury claims" he is going with are standard ambulance chaser stuff, aka fraud but hard to prove one way or the other.

Frankly, Adams deserves to pay the guy some money for doing a stupid thing, even if it was reflex from the running into him.

Taco Bell should cancel all of those dumb Adams commercials now.

It would be in everyone's best interest... especially the viewing public.

Imagine coming into KC to play on Monday night, blowing a 17 point lead and leaving with both the L AND a court date.

LMAO

They should have scheduled his court appearance for early January... he'll have plenty of free time starting then until next July.

carr family scum trash

The Raiders Way :D

Carr family is just full of absolute losers. They’re all honorary raiders in my opinion

This is such a terrible apology. "Kind of" shoved him? "Think he ended up on the ground"? What an asshole. :shake:

"He ran and jumped in front of me."

Not an apology. An excuse.

You'd think that he could have gotten in there and held the kid to keep him from falling.
