Chad Johnson explicitly stated, “We, as athletes, especially when it comes to our families, don’t do that. Don’t cross that line. There’s a certain line that you don’t cross, a certain line that you just don’t come to. You can heckle, you can say what you want. Don’t touch, don’t be disrespectful.” But while most of the football fans came to his defense, Lawson still issued an apology on his official Instagram account.

After the match was lost to the Eagles in overtime by a score of 37-34, the video of Lawson and other players from the Bills confronting the fan went viral. According to Lawson’s side of the story, the fan kept making life-threatening remarks towards the team and their families. Even after asking the management to remove him from the premises, he was still not ejected.

Thus, this prompted Lawson to get up and take a stern course of action. He issued a statement following the push which said, ” Eventually, our emotions boiled over, and I made a mistake. For that, I apologize, but there are certain lines that should not be crossed.” Conclusively, the Bills have ended their season with a 6-6 record and hence, it made sense as to why the team was visibly upset and the abusive fan certainly didn’t help with the temperament.

"Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true."- Salman Rushdie Hi, my name's Jeevesh Singh and I'm an NFL writer here at EssentiallySports. The sport has been on my radar because of the sort of aggressiveness with which the game is played, perhaps the only one in the world that allows such a brutal display of power.
