A classless Packers fan poured beer all over Amon-Ra St. Brown after he scored a TD

This was unbelievably classless by a Packers fan.

A fun moment for the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football turned into yet another example of an NFL fan pushing the boundary of interacting with a player in the stands.

After Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown scored a touchdown in the first quarter against the team’s away game against the Green Bay Packers, St. Brown decided to do the “Lambeau Leap” into a host of Detroit fans.

Well, a classless Packers fan decided to get in on the moment by pouring beer all over St. Brown during his touchdown celebration.

It’s just another example of why moments like this might not be long for the NFL if people in the crowd can’t get their acts together.

Like, that is just ridiculous. We’re guessing this fan is going to get booted from the game and not allowed back at Lambeau Field any time soon.

NFL fans let this unruly fan have it for doing such a dumb thing to St. Brown in what should’ve been a fun moment for player and fans.

Amon-Ra St. Brown gets beer bath from Packers fan after TD catch

Amon-Ra St. Brown scored and was doused with a beer

It is called the Lambeau Leap, not the Lions’ leap.

Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a TD pass from Jared Goff in the first quarter of Thursday Night Football.

For some reason, the Lions’ star wide receiver decided to jump into the crowd at Lambeau Field.

He might want an audible as a Packers fan doused him in beer.

Packers RB A.J. Dillon explains confrontation with police officer during soccer match at Lambeau Field

Packers RB A.J. Dillon dealt with a confrontational interaction with a police officer while attempting to do Lambeau Leap during Saturday’s soccer match at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon provided some background on his confrontational incident with a police officer at Lambeau Field during a weather delay of Saturday night’s soccer match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Videos shared on social media show a police officer on the field at Lambeau Field grabbing Dillon by the collar of his personalized red Bayern Munich jersey and then pushing him aggressively before eventually allowing the Packers running back to do a Lambeau Leap into the stands.

Dillon said event security allowed him onto the field to help “hype up the crowd” and he assumed the police officer patrolling the area just didn’t get the memo.

In the video above, Dillon is seen interacting with fans and getting ready to leap into the crowd when the police officer grabbed hold of his shirt and jerked him backward. After a brief interaction, in which Dillon appears to be explaining his plan to jump in the stands, the officer pushed him away and then left the area.

It’s unclear what provoked the push.

At the time, play was stopped due to poor weather in the area.

Here’s another angle of the push:

There has been no word from Lambeau Field or the Packers on the incident.

Dillon was at the stadium enjoying the first-ever soccer match at Lambeau Field. Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 1-0 on a goal from Erling Haaland.

If there’s a 2020 season, the Packers won’t be Lambeau Leaping

The Lambeau Leap could be off the table in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A report from the Sports Business Journal suggests an iconic celebration in Green Bay won’t be possible if there’s a 2020 NFL season.

According to Ben Fischer of SBJ, all NFL teams will be tarping off the first six to eight rows of stadium seating during the 2020 season, both as a way to protect players and personnel on the field and to create additional revenue through visible advertisements.

If the plan is implemented, the Green Bay Packers likely won’t have an opportunity to do the team’s “Lambeau Leap” celebration in 2020, a season facing immense challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic.

For nearly three decades, Packers players have leaped into the end zone stands after big plays or touchdowns, creating one of the most well-known celebrations in football and a unique way for players to connect with fans.

Although the NFL has remained steadfast in its belief that the season will go on with fans in the stands, there remains a reasonable chance NFL stadiums will be empty or significantly reduced in overall capacity.

According to Fischer, the tarping plan will be presented to owners on Thursday, with an expectation that it will be accepted and implemented.

The Packers could potentially get creative with the tarping and advertisers, possibly connecting the two to create opportunities to still leap into the stands even if there are no fans waiting.
