According to foxnews.com, a boy was tackled by Raymond James Stadium security guards after running onto the field during a game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. The Bucs were in the midst of setting up for an extra point when the incident occurred. The boy’s mother told The Associated Press that the boy was only 10 years old, however, a police officer disputed that. Authorities didn’t release any more information due to the boy being a juvenile. No charges were filed and no arrests were made, according to the Tampa Bay Police Department.
This has already happened multiple times throughout the NFL this season with the most recent being by an animal rights activist carrying a pink smoke bomb during a game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams on Monday at Levi’s Stadium. Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive end Takkarist McKinley helped security by tackling the protester. The man involved is supposedly considering legal action against the players and the NFL. Wagner was quoted in saying that, “I’m pretty sure it’s going to keep happening, But you never know what that person’s got in their pocket, their hands, whatever. Kind of like what I said after the game. So there’s consequences for your actions.” Another incident occurred in Week 1 between the Rams and the Buffalo Bills to kick of the NFL Season.
There was also an incident with a fan on the field during Week 1 between the Rams and Buffalo Bills to kick off the NFL season.
