BREAKING Protester who was tackled on field by Rams' Bobby Wagner files police complaint
Wagner flattened the protester who ran across the field and toward the Rams' sideline while waving a device emitting pink smoke shortly before halftime at Levi's Stadium.
Teammate Takk McKinley also helped as Wagner subdued the protester, who had eluded security during the run across the field, while another protester was caught before getting very far onto the field."You just never know," Wagner said. "People run on the field for no reason sometimes. Again, pretty sure it's going to keep happening, but you never know what that person has got in their pocket, their hands, whatever. ... There's consequences for your actions.
Wagner's actions have been widely applauded around the NFL, including by San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan immediately after the game. "I think that we all know where Bobby's intentions were, and I support Bobby Wagner," Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. "I don't think anybody would disagree." Wagner said he was mildly surprised when video of his help with the protester went viral, noting that most field invasions aren't shown on television broadcasts to discourage the behavior. Peyton and Eli Manning even provided play-by-play commentary on Wagner's hit during their ESPN broadcast of the game.Copyright © 2022 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
