Cameraman Shoved By Devante Adams
Last night’s Monday Night Football game was a tight matchup between Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs and Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chiefs ended up taking the win, 30-29.
After the loss, the Raiders shook hands with the Chiefs players and headed back into the locker room. Adams, 29, was seen visibly upset and frustrated as on his way into the locker room, he shoved a cameraman to the ground.
Reports have stated that the camera guy, who was holding a tall piece of equipment, accidentally walked in front of Adams at the time, causing the wide receiver to then put both of his hands on the cameraman and shove him. The worker then fell backwards and onto the ground. The camera guy was helped back up to his feet by a security guard as Adams continued walking into the tunnel.
Devante Adams Issues Apology
After the heated incident occurred, and Devante Adams went back into the locker room, he addressed the situation to reporters, apologizing for his actions.
“I want to apologize to the guy, there was some guy running off the field, and he ran, like jumped in front of me coming off the field and I bumped into him, kind of pushed him, and he ended up on the ground,” Adams said in the locker room. “So I wanted to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally just running in from of me. I shouldn’t have responded that way, but that’s how I initially responded. So, I want to apologize to him for that.”
