Why can't it be both?
I don't think Adams was looking for someone to push while on the way to the locker room.
Looked more like a reflex of a football player coming off a football field where someone juts in front of you.
Er wait, you talking about Adams or the Camera guy? Who knows if the camera guy did something on purpose or it was a mistake. Good luck proving that one unless he confesses. Either way, does it even matter with regards to what Adams did?

When I visited San Francisco there was a homeless man who dug up a bush and hid behind it to jump scare people on a bridge. I was walking by and was wondering what everyone was staring at. Bush man scared the hell out of me.

if I was that photographer dude I'd still be in the hospital, if they insist on discharging me I'm in a neck brace and a wheelchar.
"did Adams wire any money yet? sorry...meant to say...where am I, what happened, what day is it, who are you?"
looking at the different angles it seems like he was looking down and to the right, probably fuming over the game, and dude cut it pretty close. I could def see it provoking a startled response. regardless, Davante is a big dude and you simply cannot lay hands on people. too much at risk.
fine no suspension IMO. but they can't just let it go.
I am going to disagree with many. I think the push was fine after watching this angle. This day and age you never know. A lot of cray people out there. This guy was obviously frustrated and, out of nowhere, a guy runs in front of him. The push doesn't appear to be very hard. More of a "not so close buddy" push.
Guy should have watched where he was going. Let's be real here.
But there will be more Chiefs fans at that game than Raider fans. Especially if their season continues at the current pace

I still believe Adams was wrong to push the guy and should get fined. That’s the easy part. The sad part is that the cameraman is going to blow this up to a complete money grab.
Adams should sue the Chiefs for not keeping the tunnel clear as required. Their inability to do their job made his workplace unsafe.
Would the cameraman have gone for this money grab if a Chief player had pushed him?
I hope the cameraman pulls through these life threatening injuries and can return back to his job in a few years. He has likely filed a work comp claim and will probably be “unable” to work for years. He will be certainly be able to milk at least 4-6 weeks of lost time pay at a minimum as he recovers with a lot of video game playing, weed smoking and chip eating.
I/m sure he has the best ambulance chasing lawyer available
Tony Buzbee probably not available,
how about that guy that was chasing Matt Araiza?

Watch: Bill Belichick gets physical with cameraman after SB win
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick just won his sixth Super Bowl title since joining the organization almost two decades ago. However, we wouldn’t know it by how he treated a cameraman inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta following the game.

And also earlier in his career trying to get to Mangini at midfield

Bill Belichick apologized to the Boston Globe camerman he shoved after the Patriots' game against the Jets on Sunday.

....sue the Chiefs....their was literally a uniformed police officer three feet away on the right side of the tunnel in addition to a security officer in yellow shirt on the right side even closer....and another one down the tunnel a little bit....unfortunately this guy came in from the left side where it's hard to tell if there was anybody there our not....(might have been the guy down in the tunnel helping get players through without incident further down so he left his "post" on the left for a bit)....maybe he felt he was better able to help down there then on the left side at that moment....so if you want to sue the Chiefs for not having somebody on the left side the entire time, of having someone but he left his "post".... I guess maybe you have a case.....but it wasn't like security "wasn't around"....they may just not have been on the left side at the moment this dude decided to cross into an area that he isn't supposed too and unfortunately nobody was there to stop him.....I don't know if they are required to have dudes on both sides of the tunnel and not ever leave their "post" but I think we are getting a little carried away here....sometimes there is only so much you can do and things happen....thats what I am chalking this up to "security wise"....people that are cleared to actually be down on the field and "working" the game aren't really probably posing as much of a threat as the fans in the stands up above the tunnel...and it sounds like camera guy violated one of the rules about being on the field.....IMO...

Time for the NFL to send a message to players this type of behavior will not be tolerated.
Life time ban.

So I just watched the video for the first time.....why the hell was that dude scooting right in front of Adams like that? Im not saying hes looking for what he got, so maybe he can cash in....... but come on man! Have some frickin awareness of your surroundings!
That said, classless move by Adams. He should be fined heavily, and suspended one game....no room for **** like that.......I am an Adams owner in one league, not a Raiders fan.

Remember that time Alvin Kamara and one of the Chiefs players beat the crap out of a guy in an elevator?
That was an assault. What happened between Adams and the sound guy was an accident. If the NFL wants to prevent it from happening again, fire the sound guy for incompetence and fine Adams $10k for the shove.
I hadn't read the details of the Kamara assault before just now, I can't believe the NFL let him play another game, he should have been suspended immediately for the season. Those pictures are brutal.

M O N E Y GRABBBBB!!! (probably premeditated and aided by the recent NFL issues with concussions)I want to make sure I am reading this correctly because they made it out as if this person was credentialed, that's a loose term here.
Student injured by Raiders WR Davante Adams calls shove ‘unsportsmanlike,’ ‘act of violence’
The college student who was injured by Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams called the shove "egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence" in a statement Wednesday via his attorney.www.kshb.com
his “first day on the job,”
"What happened was egregiously unsportsmanlike and an act of violence that should not be excused by the NFL."
I would have had more respect if he came out and said something like he's doing well, wished it hadn't happened but he did have to seek some medical treatment and to respect his privacy while he explores his next potential options, thanks. But that's not the tone or anything close to what he had the attorney release.
I went from feeling sorry for the kid to wanting to tape him to the goalpost, gotta be honest.
I think it’s case closed for me at this point. My hope is that cameraman gets nothing, is publicly mocked and ridiculed, fired and banned from all NFL stadiums for life. Not a Raiders fan don’t play fantasy football.
Im pretty sure I saw some long term PTSD in there for the young fella. ( since people have a hard time NOT talking it wouldnt at all surprise me to see someone pop up soon and claim knowledge that this was premeditated)

I agree with you that Security failed as you describe it. Who employs the security for the stadium inside? Wouldn't those folks be at fault?
their was literally a uniformed police officer three feet away on the right side of the tunnel in addition to a security officer in yellow shirt on the right side even closer....and another one down the tunnel a little bit....unfortunately this guy came in from the left side where it's hard to tell if there was anybody there our not....(might have been the guy down in the tunnel helping get players through without incident further down so he left his "post" on the left for a bit)....maybe he felt he was better able to help down there then on the left side at that moment....so if you want to sue the Chiefs for not having somebody on the left side the entire time, of having someone but he left his "post"....

Anyone can hire security people for the night...you got a job, here you come work for us, you over there, yes the young man with no experience, please come on into Arrowhead to work your "1st Night" on the job.

“Dennis Rodman lost about $1M in the infamous kick controversy involving a cameraman”: The Worm had assault charges levied against him and faced an 11-game suspension. Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman once kicked a cameraman in the groin, for which he had to endure a heavy punishment, especially financially.

Just realized I’m facing Adams next week…
He’s being suspended 1 game for this brutal & heinous crime, right?

Had the flu last week. Shut me down for 2.5 days. I think Devante will be mostly fine - may have lingering fatigue, but hopefully better overall by Sunday. If anyone else was infected however, and it sets in today/tomorrow after incubation, those players could be in trouble on Sunday. Hopefully not, but the flu on its peak days is no fun zone.

I have them both and I don't know...AJB can be good but not amazing just because Philly gets out to big leads.
I don't think you will see AJB have a lot of games like what you saw Sunday but I drafted him in the 4th as my WR3 and he's been en fuego mostly.
Steelers are hot garbage right now
Hard to trust Adams and the LVR more so including the coaching staff. Maybe he was a lot sicker than we were all led to believe but we just watched McDaniels and the Raiders get SHUTOUT and that's hard to accomplish with Jacobs at RB and Adams as your WR1 from the games we saw up until Sunday.

Think the teams already quitting on McDaniel. He’s a loser and always has been. good time to buy Adam’s if you have a good record and can weather the variance.
the trade for Adams was mind boggling though. Set the team back a few years

The Raiders looked dreadful on Sunday. From what I've seen up until that point, they pound the run and use the run to set up the passing game. They got down a couple scores early and rather than sticking with what they are good at and chipping away at it, they panicked and abandoned their game plan.

Flipped him for CMC, had to add in a RB to push it thru but I was loaded at WR and I don't trust the LVR down the stretch with 2022 looking bleak, hard to imagine in a month we are discussing Playoffs for them so where does that put a long time Vet like Adams who took the money and thought this was going to be a good ride on a fringe Playoff team wanting to make the next level?
I liked Adams, one of the most talented and I even stuck up for him in the tunnel incident but last week and a few of the others, hardly targeted for a variety of reasons, McDaniels is the smartest guy in the room, cough cough and so I preferred to try and expand my ground game.
