We mentioned earlier that St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long was ejected from Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers for throwing a punch in a third quarter scrum. The best part of the ejection was the way Panthers tight end Ben Hartsock gave Long a hilarious sendoff from the field. But the side story was how Panthers fans threw a bottle at Long as he was walking off the field.
You can see it in the GIF below:
After the game, Long apologized to Rams fans via Twitter for getting ejected. He also noted that Panthers fans flipped him the bird and threw a bottle at him. But the best part was how he zinged them for drinking Zima, which is a notorious girly drink.
Apologies 2 fans 4 losing my cool. Hard 2 watch from the locker room. Will always defend a tmmate + play w emotion but I need 2 reel it in.
