Falcons wide receiver Drake London was involved in a verbal confrontation with a fan during the team’s 34‑3 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The incident took place in the stadium’s stands as the game progressed.
After the match, London expressed regret over the altercation, saying he did not intend to provoke the crowd. He added that he does not take “light to disrespect,” indicating that he feels the fan’s reaction was not warranted.
