Major League Baseball’s $100 Million Star Ronald Acuña Jr., Knocked to the Ground by Fans in Ballpark Incident

Fans invading pitches is one of the most common sites that we see in any sports. There have been many situations where the fans invade the field of play just to get a picture or a video with their favourite player. The recent video uploaded on twitter by ‘TheAthletic’ clearly shows the level of madness that the fans have for their stars.

In a recent match in MLB, Ronald Acuna Jr, the superstar, was knocked down to the ground by a fan. The video shows how three invaders run into the pitch just to get a click of the $100 million star. Chasing them are three security personnels who try to stop them but fail miserably.

Need For Speed for Security

After the incident, it was suggested by many  that the security personnels need to improve their speed of action. The invaders were quick enough to jump off the stands, run 30-40 yards before the security personnels could react. It is also very evident that the security personnels were struggling to pull off the invaders away from the star player. Is there a need for a better security facility for the athletes?

There have also been many incidents in the football field where the players have been severely injured because of the fans invading the pitch. There was this incident where Jack Grealish the English Footballer was attacked on the pitch after he scored a goal. Grealish walked away unharmed but things could have been a lot worse.

People are talking about it

This entire incident has got a lot of reactions from the online community expressing shock and discernment.

This user made a sarcastic comment asking what did they add in the beer served on the field that day.

This user literally mocked the security by calling them a clown.

This user again points at the security personnels’ lack of appropriate action at the right time. According to him, Ronald was quite cool even in this rather chaotic situation.

The video has brought about mixed reactions among the fans. Most of them are curious to know as to what punishment should be given to these invaders. In most of the cases, the fans are given very lenient penalties. Some of them might be fined a certain amount of money and some will be banned from the stadium. The question rises are these penalties sufficient? By just banning them from the stadium, it gives them a sense of confidence. These people who run into the field can cause a considerable amount of damage to the athletes. The internet has come up with some solutions for punishing these invaders. Some have even gone extreme and said that these invaders should be tazed. At the end of the day, the athletes’ safety is of utmost importance, and necessary steps should be taken in order to prevent accidents on the pitch.
