'Monday Night Football' Protester Files Police Report Against Rams Players For 'Blatant Assault'

During Monday Night Football, two protesters ran onto the field with pink smoke bombs as they attempted to disrupt the game on the field.

The two protesters ran onto the field in the middle of the San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Ramsfootball game.

One of the protesters, a woman, was taken down almost immediately, but the male protester was able to avoid security for a little bit longer and even made his way toward the Los Angeles Rams sideline. It was then that Rams player Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley slammed into him, knocking him to the ground and stopping him long enough for security and police to get a hold of him.

Although the NFL fan was in the wrong as he trespassed and ran onto the field during the game, he is now filing a police report against Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley for "blatant assault."

According to reports, the man went to the Santa Clara Police Department on Tuesday following the Rams vs. 49ers game and filed the report. However, no further details were released.

Fans of the NFL are already speaking out regarding the filing of the police report, saying the protester has some nerve doing so. One Twitter user wrote, "He deserved all he got after running onto the field. That was mild. Hes lucky he didn't get tackled. Then to file a police report 🤦🤦."

Another Twitter user chimed in, writing, "Wagner was just doing his civilian duties and protecting his teammates and fans from a lunatic who not only broke the law by coming on the field but ran with a smoke bomb. This would leave anyone to believe anything could be next. Gun, bomb, knife etc. Great job Mr Wagner."

According to reports, the two protesters performed the publicity stunt in order to "raise awareness for a trial involving the alleged theft of pigs from a factory farm."

The organization stated that the man suffered a burn injury during the incident. "They're a bit beaten up but in good spirits," they said in a statement.

Videos of the protesters were shared all over social media almost immediately after it happened.

Los Angeles Rams star linebacker, Bobby Wagner, who was one of two players who helped stopped the protester on the field, spoke out after his part in the incident, saying, "You don't know what that fan got or what they're doing."

At this time, Wagner has not been arrested or charged with any crime.
