After scoring a long touchdown against the New England Patriots on Sunday night, Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill ended up close to the stands, bracing himself against the end zone wall.
Upset Patriots fans were yelling at him and giving him the finger, but one fan took things too far, throwing a beer in Hill’s face.
Now, that fan has reportedly been identified and charged with a disorderly conduct and throwing an object at a sporting event, per TMZ reporter Michael J. Babcock:

Buying a ticket to a sporting event doesn’t give you the right to do whatever you want, even as opposing players score touchdowns against your team.
Now, that 21-year-old fan from Massachusetts is about to learn that lesson the hard way.
