Wow! Really?

They won that people now know who they are. I assumed it was a breast cancer issue until this story came out.
Any donation they receive is more than they previously had, whether you, I, or the majority agree with it.

It was a dumb stunt 100%

I think the players and everybody in the stadium should file a criminal complaint against the organization.

Does anyone know if the NFL has a policy about this? I wouldn't be shocked if there's something in Wagner's contract that means he will get fined.
They don't want players getting involved, not only because the protestor could get hurt and sue, but because the player could easily get injured. Who knows what a random guy on the field has in his pockets or what he's planning to do?

Why? This idiot ran onto a field he wasnt supposed to be on. His bs lawsuit will get laughed out of court.

Did they flag Wagner for leading with the helmet?

Best defensive play of the game!

If the protester didn’t want to get tackled by anyone from the Rams he should have just put on a Deebo Samuel jersey.

This has Clonie Awards written all over it.

Still not as dumb as the protestors at the British GP who thought that the best way to protest was to run out onto a race track on the first lap of the race and sit down just after a corner with cars that are running 100+mph through that area.

Thankfully there was the standard F1 first lap, first corner incident so the yellow flags were thrown as they were running out onto the track.

This one likely will get laughed out of court because he didn't get hurt, but the lawsuit from the guy who gets his neck broken might be different. It wouldn't be hard to make a case against a player taking an action he was not trained or authorized to do and the league for creating these "monsters" and unleashing them on people in street clothes.
And like I said, the teams don't want players doing anything that puts their own health at risk just to look cool. There's security at the stadium, and no one is in immediate danger. No reason for a player to be involved.

Would it be the same if the guy broke his neck while being tackled by a security officer? And how do players know that no one is in immediate danger? Do you know for sure what was in that smoke this guy was letting off?

Wagner should get a bonus for taking him down

Yes. Security officers/police get sued all the time for tactics that injure or kill people. They often win their cases because they can argue that they were following their training. A football player would have a hard time making that claim.
But the point is, even if it seems unfair, it's in the NFL's best interest to minimize risks by insisting that players not touch fans.
