Haha nah, I just think as a man that's embarrassing. Maybe I'm old school? Adams was out of line, but GMAFB. It's dishonest is what it is from the "victim". You think he needed to go to the hospital? You think he was seriously injured? Did you go to the hospital last time you scraped your knee or got a papercut? If you did then my bad for assuming you wouldn't?
The NFL - the raiders and Adam’s agent probably insisted he go to the hospital to get the extent of his injuries or lack of injuries verified and documented by med professionals

I have no idea if he was really hurt or not. Doesn't really matter. Every bit of this is on Adams. Act like an adult and all this never happens.
You're completely right about Adams. But for real, you can look at the photographer and think "that's a respectable person" if he's lying and being dishonest on top of just a p**sy in general haha?

I really don't know if he's faking it. I'm not gonna make that assumption. I have never been unexpectedly shoved to the ground while carrying my camera equipment by an NFLer.

Maybe, but the police report says he “made arrangements by private transport” whatever that means. Kinda like he drove himself. But no doubt the nfl will make sure the photographer is taken care of.

edit: more likely an Uber or something, but not an ambulance.

Definitely a Raiders fan.
I’m not a Raiders fan and I don’t agree with Adams pushing him. What I’m saying is that both the cameraman and Adams didn’t seem to be looking where they were going. Most people are going to react when someone gets in their way especially when they are pissed off.

What made Adams look like a dick was looking at the guy and walking away without seeing if he was okay. If Adams would have stopped and checked on him, this wouldn’t be as big an issue.

He looked like a dick because he was acting like one. He caused all of this, just because he couldn't control his temper.

How quickly he called police and said he was suing sure smells like a setup
One thing about the media, they will all line up to back him as a “victim”. There HAD to be charges, or they would never let it go

He definitely should be held accountable as all people should for their actions. Losing or being frustrated isn't an excuse to do the wrong thing. In the same way, the guy who was pushed should be held accountable if he is dishonestly trying to extort Adams just because he's rich. You think he'd go to the hospital and press charges if it was some guy with no money? I highly doubt it. Thoughts?

Weird number of people defending Adams.

any normal person who shoves a person to the ground while at work loses their job and likely spends the night in jail.

he makes $30 million/year yall, he can afford the fine/lawsuit.

It absolutely was assault and Adams is going to be lucky if he doesn’t have to serve jail time, let alone a hit to his bank account. You've got to be a lot smarter as a professional athlete when dealing with regular people. You just can't do what he did.

I have no idea what he would do. Seems like the route he is taking is the smart one.

It was assault. People need to quit making excuses for athletes acting like they can't be held responsible for bad behavior. I can't push someone down on the sidewalk after a bad day at the office either. Athlete worship is pathetic.

Guy could have hit his head on the concrete and gone wanting. Dumb play by player. He'll regret it.

He didn’t get in his face he was walking in his path, as happens all the time. And he didn’t flop, he was pushed/two-handed shoved over by a professional athlete while carrying equipment.
Boo hio. Then stay the he’ll out of their way. I don’t get the need to stick a camera inches from the face of athletes at times of stress. I think you’re just asking for trouble. I’m certainly no Adam’s fan boy. Just tired of the need to “capture the emotion”

The player walked at the camera.

Why you guys defend bullies is beyond me. They guy could have been knocked out, smashed his skull wide open, whatever. These entitled players drive me nuts.

I would have kicked his *** and told him to work on his attitude.
simple case of a raider running into the steel curtain.

It didn't look like he was doing that either, he just walked in front of him. There was no need to push him like that, other than being frustrated about the game. If any of us did something like that in the real world we would be in trouble. I don't get trying to justify this.

How is it possible that I agree with you AND dingle? Hahaha

I agree fully that Adams should be held accountable. It was stupid what he did and never should have happened. If the photographer hit his head on the concrete and cracked it open, hrow the book at him.

At the same time, my 6 year old niece has pushed me harder than what the video shows. There used to be a time when, if someone shoved another person out of frustration and the other person didn’t get hurt, no harm no foul.

If the photographer did suffer an injury, Adams will be paying the price as he should. But if no injury of note happened, I'm tired of the litigious society for a money grab that we have become.

I’m just putting myself in the photographer’s shoes… if I would have gotten shoved down like that but suffered no injury, I would laugh it off because I had a story to tell my grandkids.

Again, if the photographer got injured, this post is moot.

I know if someone walked in front of me and I pushed that person to the ground. My manager and possibly a cop will be waiting for me in HR or I just get escorted out and told not to come back. Adams deserves any repercussions he gets.

I do agree with this. I’m no way am I saying Adams should skate here. I’m just not too keen on the photographer right now until we discover that he does, in fact, have some injuries as a result of Adams’ actions.

I'll guarantee you his lawyer will find a doctor that confirms injuries.

I’m curious. If that was assault, what were all of the beatings perpetrated during the BLM “peaceful protests” and why weren’t they prosecuted?????

Did you watch the video dipshit , the guy was literally Walking and happened to walk in front Adams
To quote Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive “I don’t care”. You stay the hell out of the space of athletes before, during or after sporting events. Break that common sense rule and you get what you get. JMO.

If you push someone down it’s simple assault, no injuries have to occur, this is what Adams was charged with.

Again, I get that. I just work differently. If I suffered no injury as a result of the shove, I wouldn’t file a police report.

Unless the perpetrator was a troll on this board. Then I would prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

Adams did the deed and will have to face the consequences of it. That said, not many of us haven't been less than our best selves in the heat of the moment. I'd like to hope ( barring a true injury ) that if I were in the camera guys shoes I'd accept the apology and let it go. Everyone gets to make their own decisions of things like that though.

If it’s a regular Joe pushing he doesn’t do anything, it’s a easy payday for the Camera man , don’t agree with it , but it’s the way of some people are built.

Interesting how you make a hero of a bully and villain of his victim.
