PITTSBURGH -- Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been suspended two games without pay by the NFL "for conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating a physical confrontation with a fan" during Sunday's game at Ford Field in Detroit.
According to the NFL release, Metcalf's actions violate the league policy that specifies "players may not enter the stands or otherwise confront fans at any time on game day and ... if a player makes unnecessary physical contact with a fan in any way that constitutes unsportsmanlike conduct or presents crowd-control issues and/or risk of injury, he will be held accountable."
Ryan Kennedy, the Detroit Lions fan involved in the altercation with Metcalf on Sunday, denied he used a racial slur, "misogynistic, or hate-based language during the incident," according to a statement released by a Michigan law firm
"These allegations are completely false," said the statement released by Shawn Head and Sean Murphy of Head Murphy Law Firm.
The statement also said that Kennedy has experienced "harassment, threats and messages advocating violence" since reports began circulating on social media that Kennedy used a racial slur toward Metcalf and called Metcalf's mother an inflammatory word
