The NFL has made its decision on Steelers receiver DK Metcalf’s punishment for punching a Lions fan Sunday
The plot has thickened with DK Metcalf’s incident with a Detroit Lions fan.
On Sunday, during the Detroit Lions game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf approached a Lions fan in the front row, pulled his wig down, and punched him in the face. The broadcast caught it happening.
The fan, whom the Detroit Free Press identified as Ryan Kennedy from Pickney, Michigan, said that Metcalf got upset because he called him by his full name, “DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf.”
Then the plot thickened quite a bit when NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Metcalf has a history with this exact fan and even reported him to security last year while Metcalf was in town playing for the Seahawks. In addition to that, former Bengals receiver Chad Johnson says Metcalf told him the fan was making racist, crude, and derogatory comments about Metcalf and his mother, which is not cool at all.
We’ll see what happens as this story progresses, but we now know what Metcalf’s discipline will be.
The NFL is suspending DK Metcalf for two games without pay
There you go. At the end of the day, while Metcalf may have a history and a problem with this specific fan and while the fan may have deserved what happened to him, the NFL doesn’t want players to punch fans, and that’s kind of that on this section of the story.
