"The fact that people are laughing and making excuses for this guy is what is wrong with our society today. This isn't little league, which, if I had to guess, is the last time this guy has touched a baseball. This is the World Series. Yankees should ban these fans FOR LIFE to show that they respect this game and the players who are playing in it," Kelly said on IG.
She added that this is not just for Yankees fans, but everyone who likes sports. As per Kelly, there's a reason fans are fans and not players in the league.
"So please, stop throwing sh*t, stop saying stupid, ignorant things, stop interfering, stop cheering when people get injured.. just because we buy tickets doesn't mean we can act like barbarians. Us fans need to be held accountable for our actions."
Here's the incident Matthew Stafford's wife referred to:
Retired NFL star Rob Gronkowski had a different take on the Yankees fan indecent
While Kelly Stafford was upset with the fan for interfering with the World Series, former Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski seemed hyped about the whole situation.
Gronkowski, speaking to Kay Adams on "Up and Adams," said he was actually college friends with the guy who tried to grab the ball. He said it wasn't out of character for the guy to go for the ball.
Gronk said the guy (Austin Capobianco) would do anything to help his team out.
"He is a beauty. I just want to say congratulations for shining when your moment came," the retired TE added.
While the fan isn't banned for life, he was banned from the World Series Game 5.
