Breaking: Patriots Dropped The Hammer On Fan Who Threw Beer At Tyreek Hill

Someone just got banned. The New England Patriots made a decision regarding the fan who threw a beer onto Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill.

The incident happened in the fourth quarter of the Sunday Night Football matchup. The Patriots won the game over the Kansas City, and they worked really hard for the 43-40 win. At the 3:03 mark in the final quarter, quarterback Patrick Mahomes reached for Hill for a 75-yard touchdown run to tie the contest at 40. Hill crossed the goal line, and ran out the back of the end zone. The receiver went against the stands, and was “welcomed” with a beer and a middle finger.

To these #Patriots fans: Get a freakin' grip. This is beyond embarrassing. It's a GAME. You don't treat any person like this, let alone someone who's doing his damn job – for your entertainment. pic.twitter.com/arzkrOSKJF

New England released a statement after the incident, noting that the organization has identified the fan who assaulted Hill, and handed the case to local authorities. The fan will also be banned for future events at Gillette Stadium.

“Gillette Stadium security has identified the fan who violated the fan code of conduct by tossing beer onto a player during the game last night. The matter has been turned over to local law enforcement and the fan will be sent a letter of disinvite to all future events at Gillette Stadium,” the statement read.

The disrespectful act drew too much criticism over social media, and Patriots fans condemned it, too. Former NFL running back Reggie Bush took to Twitter to condemn the assault. “Now if he smacked the piss out of one of you clowns, you would be all over social media crying ready to sue him! Fans need to chill before somebody [gets] hurt! You don’t have to like the opposing team, but you need to show respect or don’t go!” he tweeted.

Unlike others, Hill kept his emotions in check during the assault, and then brushed it off all together. “My coach Andy Reid told me, ‘Don’t get emotional. Don’t get mad about it because it comes with the territory. I’m not mad at all,” Hill said after the loss.
