Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill got a wet greeting from a Patriots fan after scoring a touchdown in Sundays game against New England in Foxborough, Mass.
The fan who sprayed a beer in Hills face at the end of his 75-yard scoring reception in the fourth quarter of the Patriots 43-40 victory, got something, too a ban from events at Gillette Stadium.
The Patriots issued a statement on Monday said the team had identified the fan and turned the matter over to local authorities.
Gillette Stadium security has identified the fan who violated the fan code of conduct by tossing beer onto a player during the game last night, the statement read. The matter has been turned over to local law enforcement and the fan will be sent a letter of disinvite to all future events at Gillette Stadium.
After the game, Hill said he wasnt interested in reacting to the fans gesture. But according to ESPN, Hill and his agent want to take action against the fan and they are speaking with the league and the players association.
That type of behavior is unacceptable, Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN. Players have to be protected. We want that fan to be prosecuted.
Hill finished the game with three touchdown receptions, a career high, and 142 receiving yards.
