Davante Adams shoved a photographer
Video captured Adams shoving a photographer following the Raiders’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Adams was frustrated walking off the field after his performance contributed to the loss. Per Wisconsin Sports Heroics, Adams apologized for shoving the cameraperson:
Davante Adams offered a half-hearted apology to the cameraman in the locker room. According to Frank Schwab of Yahoo.com, Adams said in an interview following the shove that he reacted in that way in part before the cameraman’s actions:
“Before I answer anything else, I want to apologize to the guy — some guy running off the field, and he ran, jumped in front of me when we’re coming off the field and I bumped into him, kind of pushed him and I think he ended up on the ground,” Adams said.
“I wanted to say sorry to him for that. That was frustration mixed with him running, literally running in front of me, and I shouldn’t have responded that way. But that’s how I initially responded so I want to apologize to him for that.”
Per an ESPN article, the Kansas City municipal court announced in June of 2023 that they were dropping an assault charge against Adams. However, the photographer brought a civil suit against Adams. The NFL continued its investigation into the incident.
