Chiefs Anyone see Adams shove the dorky camera kid? - Page 19

What a sack of shit. Hope he gets suspended for that shit.

Getting flustered or angry at a waiter spilling a drink all over you or running into you with a food tray. Understandable.

Getting annoyed or frustrated with a ball boy who disrupts your tennis serve by accidentally running into the court. Reasonable.

Pushing either the waiter or ball boy to the ground? Psychotic.

Davante Adams Is An Outright 'Bully' For Cheap Shot At Camera Operator After Loss

Please point that out.

I love how people are painting this like this harmless kid was being totally reckless or a douche bag. He’s an innocent kid trying his hardest at his job. He made a totally harmless mistake.

It’s not acceptable to do this to a random person on a crosswalk. Much less to a grocery store worker. Much less to an staffer in your organization. Much less to a person who is many levels below you working hard to earn a living. What kind of messed up dystopia did we fall into where people shrug this off?

Well the victim WAS white, sooo...

Maxx Crosby should face a fine or penalty for throwing, what I am guessing is a beer bottle in to the stands.

I'd actually tell him I appreciate the apology, and could he please help me with the medical bills and the trip to the hospital.

As far as the criminal assault, I think Adams was walking and the guy popped in front of him. Seemed more a reflexive defensive thing to me. BUT...he should have stopped to help the guy up and check on him.

Whatever. He should not be sued, but he should do the right thing and make it right for the guy. But nowadays, we all gotta sue don't we...

I would! All day every day. It’s my duty as a Chiefs’ fan.

If anyone could do that it would be a raider

He could get compensation for medical bills and therapy is he claims he now is afraid to go to work but it would be very hard to prove actual damages. His lawyer can drudge up all sort of verbiage that again, Adams may just decide "**** it, I'll pay this kid $100K (just picking a number) so he goes away" but if you think Adams is losing millions on this, you've read to many John Grisham novels.

That being said, it was a dick move and he absolutely should be suspended a game and face the same legal consequences any of us would face for shoving someone at work (probably a fine unless you have a record already)

100K? Probably could squeeze out another 50K in the State of Missouri. But, anyway...

sold.

He should face a fine and a suspension.

He is a Raider that likes to wink at other boys.

Lock him up!

I’ve seen multiple people say the camera guy made a mistake or was where he shouldn’t be. I don’t buy that. He has every right to walk around in those areas and it’s a normal thing that happens all the time. Also it’s not like the whole team was leaving the field at once and the guy jumped in the midden of a stampede off the field.

I think being called the dorky camera kid is a worse insult than getting knocked on your can by a professional athlete.

He pushed him harder than was justified, but nothing wrong with the apology. The guy was not checking both ways when crossing the only walkway off the field.

If he can't watch where he is going because of his gear, get assistance to be his eyes or to pause the traffic.

What most people do is not shove them. I teach in a middle school and see kids get in each others way literally 100s of times a day. They almost never say anything and even less of the time ever shove each other to the ground for it when a stranger gets in their way. In fact I've never seen it.
People fighting who know each other, sure. And even when I've seen people be verbal jerks to reach other, it's a kid that is a dick and and a bully.

Never seen a good kid shove someone. Never done it myself and I've been mad plenty of times in my life as have the rest of us.

He didn't care right away, he looked at him like he was trash that deserved it. If it hadn't been caught on camera he wouldn't have said a thing.

Learn to read. I said the push was too hard and deserves a punishment from the league. But the apology is fine because the part that folks say make the apology insufficient is Adams stating a fact.

It is true that the guy was moving too fast, crossing the main walkway right at the entrance of the ramp, and not paying attention to who he was cutting off.

Whatever league imposes is fine with me.

It would be stupid for KCPD to ticket it and I doubt they would.

Saying he pushed him harder than justified is ridiculous in itself. Pushing him at all is ridiculous. And the apology itself is bullshit because even in it he isn't being honest. If you regret it immediately you don't pass by him without reaching out. Unless he doesn't know what immediately means he is isn't being honest. Kind of the point of a true apology. But then if he had felt bad immediately he could have actually, you know, apologized to the guy instead of saying it to other people.

**mlyonsd** · 10-11-2022, 06:57 PM

The only reason he apologized IMO is because it was caught on camera and it hit the media.

Threadstarter called the guy the dorky camera kid.

Why don't you put your anti-bullying training to work and counsel threadstarter on not calling names?

Better yet, let's have an honest teacher's opinion on jjchieffan renaming Davante Adams and claiming race was not on his mind when he did that.
