Metcalf throws punch at fan

[Cyrus12]

He should of been arrested by Detroit PD.

I'm laughing all the way to the bank if I'm that fan.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Swung and missed like Geno Suarez?

Damn, DK. Grow up son. Oh well, not our problem. Anger management time.

True….that dude is going to Disneyland.

Straight up assault.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

Isn’t that assault?

No. it is Battery if he connected. Assault can be verbal. An attempt could be considered assault or threatening to damage another individual. So you could be correct depending on the hair on his chinny chin chin.

He should have been arrested by Detroit PD.

Definitely should be charges pressed AND a warrant issued

If that doesn’t happen it’s complete

 

[Seahawkfan80]

and since we are in the gameday forum....Deek Deeks up. LMAO

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I hope the dude sues his ass.

With it all being on film an officer should walk out cuff him. There’s no doubt as to assault.

 

[BigBill1945]

So glad he is gone. He has no filtration and it is way to easy to get into his head. We dodged a major bullet in more than a few ways.

Notice the lady with the ID around her neck behind the guy?

Is she supposed to be an usher?

If she is, isn't it her job to get the fan out of there?

Not excusing DK but that's just weird.

Team morale has gone up tenfold since letting him & Geno go.

 

[IndyHawk]

He should have not requested a trade…

Who knows what this team would be with him now

We are doing GREAT without him, we don't need him taking games off,
not running good routes, punching players or fans and failing to
hi point catches!

 

[Mistashoesta]

Yeah I would have fallen right over that barrier if that were me.

 

[Crizilla]

Did he actually hit him tho? Is there less penalty for a swing and miss? Idk just asking

He was pulling on the blue hair before the swing. Looks like a glancing blow

 

[CalgaryFan05]

You know how many mofos I want to punch directly in the face at work? Plenty. But I don’t because I have a mortgage to pay.

So true

Sure has.

I'm not a lawyer or a cop, but it appears to me that Metcalf must have been provoked by something the fan said. That doesn't excuse what he did as he was clearly in the wrong, but as far as an assault charge goes, it would be taken into consideration.

And before anyone says anything, I'm not defending him. I agree with those in here that say it's a classless act and that he should get a hefty fine from the league, perhaps a suspension. I just don't think it warrants an assault charge.
