LA Rams had a forgettable outing, losing to the San Francisco 49ers 21-9 on Week 4. However, the game saw high drama. Rams linebackers Bobby Wagner and Takkarist McKinley joined hands for a hit. Unfortunately, it was driven to a streaker who ran across Levi’s Stadium. He had a device that emitted pink smoke.

The crazy fan moved past the security. He ran towards the Rams sideline. McKinley came forward. Meanwhile, Wagner laid out the fan with a powerful hit. It was a moment of laughter for the Rams fans. They had little to celebrate in the game. Some of them came up with hilarious tweets.
Sportscaster Mina Kimes made the fans laugh out loud with her tweet.
If this was a gender reveal, Bobby Wagner is now the child's father. Sorry I don't make the rules. https://t.co/EUJmPchQS4

You complain about games being too hot, yet endorsing harm to fans. 🤡

When a fan entered the field with a pink flare this year
In the pre-season, the Rams and Bills shared the same plight when a fan jumped onto the field at SoFi Stadium. Similar to Monday night, the fan had a pink flare in his hand. That incident also went viral on Twitter. Earlier, Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers also once criticized a fan who made derogatory comments in a moment of silence in 2015.
Several fans extended support to Wagner for his tackle and felt the streaking guy deserved it. Meanwhile, Wagner said he was just supporting the securities with that surprise move.

Hate to be that guy, but that’s a late hit. Dude clearly stepped out of bounds before Wagner got there..

This user spoke about Wagner’s rights as a player.
Bobby Wagner is ALLOWED, and anyone else on the field, to use whatever means necessary to neutralize a potential threat.
Any ‘rights’ the streaker had he forfeited the second he went on the field.
