I'll add that Adams was stupid for doing this act. He should be better then this.
YES, if a player did it then immediately felt regret and tried to help him up, a heat of the moment thing, then maybe, but he didn't give a shit what he did until he found out it was on TV. If it was a Chief I would be saddened, but feel the same way. [Reply]
Basically, Adams left the field in a “road rage” condition which in turn led to him violently shoving the unfortunate person who walked into his path and then couldn’t care less what happened to him. A fine and 1 game suspension will soon follow. [Reply]

Honestly, because Adams chose to be a raider, I hope the kid gets enough money from Adams that Carr can't afford eye liner next season.
I view it like this....If I walked out of a sales meeting after not having my bid selected and flattened the copy delivery guy in the lobby on the way out the door....I get in trouble, I get fired.
you have to carry yourself in a certain kind of way outside the lines when you're a professional. [Reply]

If an ESPN contractor shoved an NFL player they'd get arrested, fired and blacklisted. NFL players are emotional bitches. [Reply]

They guy was pissed about losing, likely really pissed about HOW they lost with that last play, and took it out on a kid that walked in front of him.
He should get a 1 game suspension if the NFL is serious about their personal conduct policy. End of story.
The nfl jumps through hoops to protect the media. They want more media which means more exposure which means more money, which helps Davante cash in on his big contract. If they’re going to force Marshawn to sit through meaningless questions so the press gets their story, they can’t then all of a sudden act like media isn’t allowed access to players. That’s what makes the whole “clear the tunnel” video completely laughable. Not only are there a million videos of press right up in players faces near that exact spot adams was, but it’s completely contradictory to the nfls desire to create publicity for the sport.
If the nfl doesn’t take action they’re complete hypocrites. And they need to send a clear response to the mouth breathers who claim security should be fired for not clearing the tunnel. They shouldnt send the message that restricting media access is necessary because an emotional player lost his temper. If you’re gonna force bellichick to grumble his way through a press conference, you can force Davante adams to take one step backwards when a media member has the “audacity” to bump into him accidentally.

So maybe more interesting. Went to find that article after I saw your post this morning, and now I can't find it. Not on my feed anymore? I'm terrible with computers, so I have pretty much zero ideas on how to find it again. Tried the search bar and got nada.
But I did find this Raider fan video that basically says the same thing. he grabbed a clip from a sports talk show (I think that's what it is). it's about the 1:59 mark. Also, this clip has the reverse angle of the incident, which seems to support Adams' claim that the kid ran into him, To me, it looks like he actually was trying to run right in front of him, ymmv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtp_zu5Zq44
When I get a chance later, I'm going to try one more time to find that article though. Obviously I'll post it if and when I find it. [Reply]
Haha, this POS kid is now claiming 'whiplash,' and a 'concussion,' in spite of the fact that the clips don't show anything that might indicate he hit his head, the fact that he pops right back up and has a whispered conversation with the security guard that helped him up, during which he never reaches for his head, never staggers, never shakes his head, etc. I've had several concussions, and you always reach for your head, you always shake your head, which is usually when you stagger.
Some CPers really struggle with two things being true at once:
1) Adams was a dick for shoving the kid and should be punished
2) The kid should have watched where he was going - it's literally in the job description to stay out of the players' way near the tunnel
Also from some of those other angles it looks like there's a non-zero chance the kid did it on purpose - which is bolstered imo by him already getting a lawyer and claiming whiplash. It sure looks really unlikely he got anything like a concussion or whiplash from that mild tumble. [Reply]
