NFLPA contacts NFL security after Titans players sprayed with beer
The NFLPA has contacted league security to address player safety concerns after Tennessee Titans players were sprayed with beer by a Cleveland Browns fan.
The NFLPA has officially contacted NFL security after an incident involving Tennessee Titans players and a Cleveland Browns fan.
The incident happened on Sunday after Titans players jumped up on the wall behind one of the end zones at FirstEnergy Stadium after scoring a touchdown following a Malcolm Butler interception.
As the Titans players jumped up to celebrate with one of their own fans, one idiot Browns fan decided to shower the players with one of his beers. Not only was the despicable move blatant disrespect, but that loser also wasted his beer.
Titans cornerback Logan Ryan made sure to shine a spotlight on it on Twitter, and he tagged the NFLPA in his tweet. The NFLPA then promised to contact league security after reviewing the video, and now they officially have, according to Deb Carson of FOX Sports radio.

While we understand Browns fans were frustrated with their team getting absolutely crushed — Butler’s pick-six made the score 43-13 — there’s no excuse for throwing beer at players like that.
I’d like to see that fan do the same thing in a bar or on the street to those same players. He would be leaving on a stretcher if that happened.
We’ve seen NFL players react in dangerous ways to such disrespect from fans in the past, but the Titans players handled the situation with class and didn’t even react.
As for that “tough guy” who sprayed the players with beer: if you watch the video closely, he thought Ryan was going to jump into the stands to beat him to a pulp for showering his teammates with beer, and jumped back like a sissy before realizing that wasn’t Ryan’s intention.
Perhaps the worst part of it is that Browns fans are actually defending this behavior because of how salty they are over the loss that derailed their on-paper hype train. Sad.
We hope some kind of justice is served with that loser, and that the NFL can do something to protect against players getting treated in a such a manner.
