Title: NFR - Fights at NFL games

Not a Fulham topic but it seems like there are quite a few NFL fans in England and on here.  I'm not a fan and I've only gone to games a handful of times when the tickets were free.  Things are getting out of hand, and the NFL needs to have a home-and-away section like you all do.

Sickening & I think he's right that so many people seem angry & triggered since Covid.

Funny enough, after the Luton game it got a bit lively in the underpass between Bishops Park & the underground station. With instincts developed in the 1970s, I was awaiting the aggro to start after some verbals but fortunately, the two fans started cuddling each other. An unexpected outcome but a relief to everyone.

Passion is in everyone and everyone has a breaking point . Once the red mist descends it is to late. Not condoning any of it but if you connect properly the likely hood is that you can seriously hurt someone. The headbutt and the one where he is being held is cowardly.

Got to say I've been to 5 NFL games in London and never seen any trouble... Maybe because you have fans from EVERY team mixing... we never expect trouble at NFL matches... always feel like safe events...
But I can certainly agree with SP... since Covid people have become so intolerant... and so self entitled... showing their true colours...

Funny you say about the trouble fizzling out and the two fans cuddling each other, at the last away game of the 86/87season we played Mansfield, after the final whistle went I ran on the pitch to try and get someone's shirt, I got the the halfway line and found myself face to face with a few Mansfield fan's flicking he v's shouting come on then, after being cleared off the pitch I made my way to the car park behind the main stand, only to come across a face from the pitch, rather than resuming hostilities he held out his hands and said see you next season.
