There was a demonstration at the Levi’s stadium.

In the NFL match between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, there was an episode where two Rams players went to stop a protester who was running on the field.
The situation ended with Wagner’s tackle, which became a viral hit, in which the 110-kilogram linebacker nailed the pink smoke of Alexander Taylor to the surface of the field. Wagner’s teammate also provided background support for the operation Takkarist McKinley.
At the 49ers’ home field, Taylor sought attention for animal rights through a friend. They operate as part of the Direct Action Everywhere network of animal activists on the coast of the United States, which has gained publicity for its exploits and subsequent legal proceedings. This time, the activist duo survived the stadium gig with fines.
For Wagner, McKinley and the league, however, there could be more serious consequences coming. According to media reports, Taylor has complained about the incident to the police as an assault. A police report obtained by TMZ says the activist lost consciousness and suffered a concussion. In addition, he had a burn on his right hand, which may have come from a smoke bomb the man was carrying.
Wagner, 32, justified his aggressive reaction by saying he didn’t know what the smoke was or what Taylor’s intentions were.
– You never know what a person has in their pocket or in their hands.
The NFL has yet to comment on the complaint.
