Fans have flocked to the stadiums in large numbers to show support and cheer for their respective teams. While this season of NFL is becoming popular for Taylor Swift’s introduction and involvement, there is another issue at hand, which is becoming quite the regular occurrence. Fan fights in stadiums, stands, and elsewhere have become the flavor of this season. There are several reported incidents of fans losing their control and letting rage take over.

The video clip showed angry fans in the midst of a scuffle. One man, later identified as Alex, took a wild swing at the other and dropped him to the floor. He was not finished yet as he went ahead to hit another fan laying on his knees. His partner rushed towards him in a bid to control him.
The man he punched UFC style came back for more, but people around avoided them from confronting him again! This season of the NFL has had a lot of focus on the behavior and violence of fans.
