Dk punches a fan

[WindyCitySteel]

Where do we start...JIm Crow? Or only what's recorded with modern technology?

You can not be this obtuse

"Where's your evidence that blatant racial slurs are still an everyday occurrence in America?"

"Muh, Jim Crow, muh."

I'm picking sides based on history. Myles Garrett, Jussie Smollet, Bubba Wallace, Tawana Brawley, Duke LaCrosse team...

Are you seriously suggesting that this scrawny little white dude waited until the 6'4" 240 lb black man grabbed his shirt and pulled him close to call him the n-word to his face?

Just this weekend two scrawny white kids tried to fight a former UFC Heavyweight champion backstage at the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight.
Guys were prob 5'9 160 at best.
People in this world are way too comfortable writing checks they can't cash.

As bad as the move was by DK,
I hope that punk fan suffers consequences that make him wish DK punched him in the face instead.

As I understand it he us saying the fan said those words last time. It's all ******. Only good part is they can now void 25 million in guarantee money when they have enough of his bullshit. Good call on this one Shades. Everyone was like wtf when they signed. But nooooooo. Now he could sink your season in most embarrassing way.

Meh... he helped us get the Tomlinship already. So there is that.

Yes, that is the bigger loss that it happened now and not at the beginning of the season. As some have posted on here this may be a blessing though because if he's going to act like this and it voids his guarantees we can part ways.

If he's truly contrite though he can get another chance, I mean they did it for Ben after his many "escapades."

Of course it would have to be with a re-worked contract to protect the team.

It's all optics tied to money. Most people should agree DK should no better, but that fan is a punk and should have got punched in the mouth.
My positive spin
If we need DK to beat the Browns we don't deserve to win. We are gonna roll the Browns by double digits. They just lost their best player (Judkins) and Pittsburgh has all the momentum. No possible way we lose the the Browns.

DK has 2 weeks to reach a boiling point and play angry in the playoffs.
Steelers have 2 weeks to spread the ball around, get Theilen warmed up, maybe MVS for a playoff run.
Worst case scenario it burns to the ground and we get out of the DK business for alot less than anticipated.

Ok..you are what you are. Like I said good luck.

So there is audio of this dude saying he got what he wanted.

The Fan was talking about Shaq Lawson pushing an Eagles' fan in 2023. No penalty from the league, only a fine from the Bills.

Not excusing DK's actions, it was dumb and he shouldn't have been anywhere near that guy. However, very different penalties for Lawson, Lamar, and DK.

 

[SteelerSask2]

In the Lawson video at least like DK he went up to the fan in the stands because they were taunting him. That is more precedent then Lamar. The fan initiated physical contact with Lamar. Totally unrelated.

Per the NFL's own statement, it is completely related to Lamar's actions.

"Metcalf's actions violate league policy, which specifies that 'players may not enter the stands or otherwise confront fans at any time on game day and ... if a player makes unnecessary physical contact with a fan in any way that constitutes unsportsmanlike conduct or presents crowd-control issues and/or risk of injury, he will be held accountable,'" the league said in a statement.
