What makes the NFL interesting is that there are so many special moments you can find. From the early years of the NFL being created, and as it evolved over time, the sport of football continued to gain in popularity, taking on a bigger role in American sports and culture. But the NFL has also witnessed some of the most intense moments in history where NFL players actually fought their fans. Sometimes, the fan will come out onto the playing surface to start a fight, while other times it’s the athlete that leaps up into the stands. It makes for some great television, but it’s always dangerous to mix pro athletes with thousands of fans that might have had too much to drink.
