The NFL has a problem on its hands that it better get control of very quickly.
Since the stadiums have opened back up after COVID, there have been fights in the stadiums on an almost regular basis.
During the first two weeks of the season, there were two fights in particular that got a lot of attention.
Bloodied and Dead
The first fight was bad enough, taking place at the Cowboys stadium between Cowboys and Jets fans.
Several people involved in the fight were a complete and bloody mess…

The second fight actually resulted in a death.
A Patriots fan was hit in the head by a Dolphins fan and knocked unconscious.
He was attended to but was later pronounced dead.

Now, the first was young idiots, but that second fight happened in front of the man’s young boy, so that child is going to be scarred for life.
This is a game, people, and believe me, the players on the field do not give a shit about you, so why you are you fighting in the stands over them?
This is utterly ridiculous and it has made attending the games completely unenjoyable.
I used to love going to live football games, but I have not gone in years because the last game I attended, a fight happened in my section and people were climbing all over each other to get involved.
I say no thanks… I will sit on my sofa and watch the games from there from now on.
