Chris Long Tells Rams Fans to Fill Their Stadium
Published:
If you don’t follow Chris Long on Twitter, you should. He pretty much tweets about whatever he wants whenever he wants. He’s also an Award Winning Listener.
But nevertheless, some people were trying to get on him about his decision at the end of the game to celebrate with Eagles fans, along with his teammates, at the LA Coliseum.
They say our Philly fans are rough 🤔

From that video alone, there were five players that jumped into the crowd which was dominated with Eagles colors.
But Long was the only one that got pushed off by Rams fans, and he wasn’t happy about it, as the video shows. He spent his first eight years with the franchise when they were in St. Louis, not Los Angeles.
One LA reporter tried to get a story out of him, and Long gave her an answer.

Simply put, he doesn’t care, and Habib wasn’t happy about the answer she got.
Well- that’s why I’m asking. Can we discuss? It’s out there-your side is important.

Here’s context for you @JOEL9ONE – you’re not the only NFL player to have an altercation with fans today. The questions need to be asked when you have an outburst with fans and yell “f-you, f-you, suck it” https://t.co/x1brpwCFvI

WIP’s Jon Marks came in to defend Long and attack Habib for trying to get a story out of a small altercation.
Yeah it’s really Chris Long’s MO to start shit with opposing fans. Ur a dope

Meanwhile, a Rams fan (assuming he’s not one of those paid actors) didn’t appreciate Long jumping into the stands at an away game. As you saw earlier, there were barely any Rams fans in the stands at the time and for the entire day. So he told the Rams fan to actually care about their football team:

I could care less about Rams fans being disgusted by what Long did. He wanted to celebrate with his team and did so, only to be pushed out by Rams fans, who were the minority in their own stadium. If you don’t want that to happen again, maybe find fans that actually care about their team and show up.
He moved on and has bigger things to care about.

Chris Long keeps it real, and I appreciate that.
