While Tyreek Hill cannot confidently say Sunday night’s game will be the last time he gets a face-full of beer after scoring a touchdown, the New England Patriots are making sure the fan who committed the act never does so at their stadium again.
After he scored a 75-yard touchdown to tie the game at 40 late in the fourth quarter, Hill was flipped off by one Patriots fan and had beer thrown at him by another.

On Monday, the Patriots released a statement saying they have identified the fan responsible and banned him from all future events at Gillette Stadium.

You can understand why Patriots fans weren’t as excited about the touchdown as some of the people we saw tweeting about it, but throwing beer in a player’s face obviously crosses the line. From the sound of it, the guy responsible is paying the price.
