This is how you end the regular season!
To close out their campaigns, the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders met up for a Week 18 rivalry game, and with these two teams being rivals, tensions were already running high going into things. So it’s not the most surprising fact in the world that their fans got to scrappin’, but it’s how they did it that has people going “woah!”
Let’s take a trip to Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada — a place I totally need to visit one day in real life — where a brawl broke out in quite the unique fashion. (RELATED: NFL Should Check Themselves — Their Anti-Americanism Is Reportedly Showing)
Nick Walters of KTNV, which is Las Vegas‘ ABC affiliate, was interviewing a Raiders fan when all of a sudden other supporters started fighting. And you better believe that Walters and his cameraman were all over it in terms of getting content, and how could you not be?
It literally broke out right in front of them!
It’s what I like to label “content gold,” or the more fun “popcorn entertainment.”

Now don’t get me wrong, the fighting fans look like idiots (as they always do), but you have to admire how quickly Walters & Co. was on top of things. This is a story! I’m writing it up after all!
Brilliant work by Nick Walters and his cameraman!
