Viral Video Shows Disturbing Behavior by Young Jaguars Fan Toward Elderly Chiefs Supporter, Sparking Outrage Across the NFL Community

A short video circulating on social media has ignited widespread backlash among NFL fans after showing a young Jacksonville Jaguars fan engaging in disrespectful behavior toward an elderly Kansas City Chiefs supporter during last weekend’s game at EverBank Stadium.

The clip, which lasts less than 20 seconds, captures a boy — estimated to be around 10 or 12 years old — mocking and gesturing rudely at an older man wearing a red Patrick Mahomes jersey in the stands.
The elderly Chiefs fan appeared to smile awkwardly and try to ignore the situation, but nearby spectators began recording the moment, and the crowd’s reaction quickly turned uneasy.

DAMN: A young #Jaguars fan gave a #Chiefs fan the finger and got into it with him after Jacksonville beat Kansas City this week.

😬😬😬

Not nice.

The footage spread rapidly after being posted on X (formerly Twitter), reaching millions of views within hours and drawing strong criticism about fan culture and stadium behavior.

One user commented:

“It doesn’t matter what team you root for — respect is universal. Mocking an older fan isn’t passion, it’s poor sportsmanship. This isn’t what football should teach kids.”

In response to the growing controversy, the Jacksonville Jaguars organization released a brief statement saying the team is reviewing the incident and intends to contact those involved to better understand what happened.

The statement reaffirmed that any fan behavior that disrupts or disrespects others violates the NFL’s code of conduct and could result in future restrictions or loss of stadium access.

Meanwhile, some members of Chiefs Kingdom urged restraint and empathy, emphasizing that the child’s actions — while unacceptable — should be met with education rather than hostility.

“Kids learn from adults. This is a chance to teach respect, not to cancel a kid,” one Chiefs fan wrote. “Let’s hope his parents or the team help him understand that being a fan comes with class.”

The video continues to circulate widely online, sparking ongoing debate about sportsmanship, parenting, and fan etiquette within the NFL community.

Though the incident may seem minor, it serves as a reminder that in a sport built on passion and pride, respect remains the one thing that should never be lost — no matter what colors you wear.
