We have all seen by now what transpired in the tunnel after the Las Vegas Raiders' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. It was a primetime game on the mothership network, so I'm sure everyone has seen it by now.
But, just in case you haven't, I'll explain a bit.
Davante Adams, the Raiders' star receiver, was seen after the game pushing a cameraman to the ground in the tunnel following the loss.
After the game he apologized by saying this:
“He ran and jumped in front of me coming off of the field and I kind of bumped into him and pushed him and didn’t think he would end up on the ground so I want to say sorry to him for that because that was just frustration mixed with him literally running in front of me," Adams told the media after the game. "I shouldn’t have responded that way but it is how I initially responded so I want to say sorry to him for that."
While the apology is great, the NFL isn't happy with him. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the NFL wants Adams to be disciplined.
His tweet read this:
"Raiders WR Davante Adams is facing NFL discipline — and potentially even a suspension — for shoving a man to the ground after Monday night’s loss to the Chiefs, per sources. The league is reviewing the situation. Adams apologized through the media and again on Twitter."
You never want to see your best player do something like this, but you do like that he apologized right away, to the media and on Twitter. However, he does need to be disciplined and the Raiders will have to live with that.
