Yiou were the one that introduced the idea of how big and stong Adams was compared to the guy.
I said it would be dumb to write a ticket. Not sure why pointing out that Adams paid a lot of state and loca-l tax to play in that game set you off.
What I wrote was true. The Chiefs and NFL are supposed to stop people from unwanted contact with players and the guy was not exercising due caution crossing the main walkway without paying attention and without having an escort.
Game operations staff are going to be instructed to take corrective action and credentialed field passes are going to be handed out with reminders to watch where you are going.
I suppose it would be dumb for me to waste mucvh time answering you.
Instead of calling me a dumbass you could add your view on players pay so much in state and local taxes and whether some of that money could be used to protect them from unwanted contact from people that do not watch where they are going.
You just refuse to understand that this was not the camera guys fault at all. He was doing his job.
As far as the player tax stuff. You already showed ignorance to that as well. Only income earned while in MO would be taxed. Unless he earned a bonus during this game he would not be taxed on it. Only his game pay would be.
As far as using tax revenue to protect the players... Talk about a waste of tax dollars. Tax revenue is not to prevent someone from assaulting someone at their place of employment. [Reply]

How much is his tax bill?
You obviously were not able to read and understand my post because I gave an estimate on his base salary and an estimate on a hgher figure if bonuses are included.
I guess the more I pay attention to you losing your mind arguing the more I realize that being called a dumbass by you may actually be a compliment.
I will put you on ignore since you do not add much insight and you add a lot of harsh words.
The guy's job included watching where he is going while he is moving on the field ask the yellow shirts or his assistant to help him cross in front of the tunnel if his gear keeps him from looking out for himself.
There is going to be corrective action by the league and the Chiefs for their failure to protect a player from unwanted contact, and I am cool with whatever sanction the NFL gives. I guess it will be a fine and not a suspension because Adams had a right to protect himself from the danger but he pushed him harder than was reasonable under the circumstances.
If the guy wants to file a civil case, Adams' lawyer should seek indemnification from the Chiefs and NFL Security because their negligence created a situation where players were not protected from a guy that did not care to watch where he was going. [Reply]
Ofcourse the cameraman should file a police report. This is no different than from some random person pushing you over at the grocery store for walking in front of you. [Reply]

Seems like the argument against is to call me a name and then rewrite what I actually wrote and argue against that.
You think Chiefs game operations isn't addressing this for what could have been done to prevent the collision with the player?
You think the NFL isn't going to look into this more than to just say Adams is in the wrong.
If Adams pushed him only enough to protect himself and not knock him down, that guy would be in danger of losing privilege to work on the field. [Reply]

I will disagree with you on this. If you are walking down the street and someone walks in front of you and you stop and forcefully push them down and they crack their skull on the sidewalk, you are most likely going to jail if they find you. It is battery.
Also refs, players, and the media are all walking around before, during and after the game and you don't see players shoving people around. Adams knows what he did was wrong hence the quick apology. He probably should get a multiple game suspension or similar to what a player would get if they struck a fan during the game. [Reply]

Also it’s not like the whole team was leaving the field at once and the guy jumped in the midden of a stampede off the field.
Media should stay out of the way. That's like the unspoken first rule of coverage. [Reply]
