NFL Player Davante Adams Shoves Cameraman To The Ground After Team Loss, Man Later Files Police Report & Goes To The Hospital

 

Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams shoved a credentialed worker to the ground in the aftermath of his team’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night (Oct. 10).

Video footage shows Davante Adams walking off the field toward the tunnel when he shoved the person down. The unidentified man was reportedly a credentialed person on the field carrying equipment.

According to reports, the man, who was a freelancer working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football, filed a report to Kansas City police, who said they will investigate the incident. The man was transported to a hospital, according to police, and was treated for injuries that were “preliminarily thought to be non-life threatening.” Kansas City police said the incident will be investigated by its assault unit detectives and the investigation is not expected to last more than 1-2 days.

During his postgame news conference, Davante Adams apologized to the man he pushed, claiming that he jumped in front of him.

“Before I say anything, I want to apologize to the guy (camera person) running off the field and he ran and jumped in front of me. I’m coming off the field and I bumped into him and pushed him. I think he ended up on the ground, so I want to say sorry to him because that was just frustration mixed with him running in front of me and I shouldn’t have responded that way and that’s how I initially responded. I want to apologize to him for that.”

Adams later took to Twitter to deliver another apology for his actions. He wrote:

“Sorry to the guy I pushed over after the game. Obviously very frustrated at the way the game ended and when he ran in front of me as I exited that was my reaction and I felt horrible immediately. Thats not me..MY APOLOGIES man hope you see this.”
