Examining the Legal Consequences for the Fan Who Threw Beer at Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill

With three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s game between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the 37-yard line. It was Hill’s third touchdown of the night and tied the score at 40. As he excitedly ran to a barrier between the field and fans in hopes of celebrating, several of the fans seated immediately next to the barrier gave him the middle finger.
