After the game between the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles, a railing breaks in the stadium and fans fall to the ground. The franchise’s statement that help was offered is now being contradicted by supporters.

Munich – It was a scary moment on the past NFL game day. After the game between the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles, a railing broke at the entrance to the stadium catacombs at FedEx Field.

Several fans posted behind it fell from the stands, narrowly missing Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was running past at the time.

Although none of the supporters suffered serious damage, some were still injured.

As late as Sunday evening, the franchise stated, “As far as we know, everyone involved was medically cleared at the scene and left the stadium on their own accord. We are very pleased that no one appears to have been seriously injured. The safety of our fans and guests is of paramount importance and we are investigating the incident. “

Fans dispute statement by franchise

Some of the fans affected have now contradicted the team’s claim that anyone affected was offered help after the incident.

“They didn’t ask if anyone was injured and they certainly didn’t ask if anyone needed medical attention,” Andrew Collins told “ESPN”. “The only thing the staff said to us was to get off the field. “

Another supporter also agreed. Mike Naimoli, for instance, called the franchise’s statement “completely false”. According to the statement, the fans who fell to the ground were merely told, “‘Everybody get off the field’ – and they quickly got us off Jalen and shooed us into the stands.”

One fan suffered a cervical strain, a head injury and bruises to his elbow and knee, according to ESPN.
