Dan Quinn of Washington was arrested after fighting a fan.
The commander’s coach stated, We just need to realize, respect each other the same way, and just understand that it’s all about, you know, enjoying the game and the atmosphere.
During Sunday’s 20-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at FedEx Field, there were other teams competing as well as the Washington Commanders.
A group of spectators appeared to get into a physical altercation while the rain was pouring inside the stadium during the game.
Take a peek at the video here.
Ron Rivera, the coach, addressed the altercation following Sunday’s game.
“You know, it’s true what they say about the Washington football tradition. You can trace this back all the way to the coaches of the 1980s, and you can be certain that his support base is not interested in that. Because of its past, history, and traditions, its fan base is truly legendary. It’s simply a matter of treating each other with respect and realizing that the main goal is to take pleasure in the game and the environment, “explained Rivera.
The man wearing a Baltimore Ravens jersey, Martino Ancora, was taken into custody following the altercation on suspicion of trespassing, disorderly conduct, and second-degree assault.
“My partner and I attended the game together. I was only observing. She enjoys watching the Commanders,” Ancora said to FOX 5. “I was merely there to help her on the first day of business. There’s a guy a row ahead of me, so I was supporting the commanders as I was in the row. He began using derogatory language, and as you can see in the video, he shoved me first. I tried to lean in and push him back, but before I could push either of them back, a man in our row literally rushed the entire aisle, knocking us all to the ground.
