So, Davante Adams slams his helmet after failed 4th down. Clearly, we all see how upset he is, right? After the conclusion of the game, Adams shoves a media guy to the ground. Seemingly with no remorse as he didn't immediately apologize.

My personal take on this is if you're on the field, you're in their arena and you need to look where you're going. So I'm fine finding fault with the for being negligent on where they're walking. As for Adams, he doesn't know who just crossed his path and shoves what could be a threat straight to the ground. I'm fine with that. The issue I find is after he shoves the guy down, he can clearly see he's a media type of some kind and offers zero remorse or apology.

Originally, I was 100% faulting Adams. I'm less hard on Adams here. I just think he could have handled the "post-incident" a bit better. That being said, he was heated because they lost an important game.

So, is Adams wrong? Yes. It is NOT misdemeanor assault wrong. If Aaron Donald can swing a helmet around in practice without any consequence, this needs to just be done with.

100% Adams was wrong... and should be punished for physical actions off the field to a non-football player.

But side question... where was the guy that got pushed going? Looks like everyone is going into the tunnel except him, and he's crossing the crowd to go no where...

Of course, the easiest answer is he's probably packing up and has a bag or equipment or something on the other side... but just made me wonder since it looks like nothing is on the other side.

Still 100% Adams fault... though, I don't know how legal damage and
injury penalty should be...as I don't feel like the guy should be that hurt.
