Lions Fan Sends Message to Steelers’ DK Metcalf

Head also said that there is nothing that supports Metcalf's accusation on Kennedy, whether video, security at Ford Field, who didn't eject Kennedy after the incident, plus other witnesses.

His lawyer did say that Kennedy has received abuse and threats from the incident and that his business has received low reviews as a result.

"After the assault, false accusations of racism and racial slurs were made publicly. As a result, Ryan Kennedy and his family have received threats. They’ve been harassed. And his business has been damaged."

Head acknolwedged that the reached out to Metcalf and his legal team and that they haven't gotten anything back, but that Metcalf can correct the record.

"We’ve reached out to DK Metcalf’s representatives. We’ve asked that those false accusations be corrected. As of this morning, we have not received a response. Mr. Metcalf does have the ability to explain what was not said."

Story from Metcalf's Side on the Incident

While Kennedy and his lawyer deny the incident took place, Johnson spoke on what Metcalf said to him after the game.

"He called him a racial slur," Johnson said."He called him the N-word and called his mom a ****. And I think with those words being exchanged and the fans saying that, I think that's where the action occurred, where I think he threw a punch. I'm not sure if he connected or whatever. But he did call him the n-word, and he called his mama, I guess, the c-word."

After the altercation happened, many videos have emerged about the incident, including one where you can hear Kennedy yell, "That was the goal," after the incident happened.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin also showed support for Metcalf earlier in the week at his press conference, but didn't speak on the incident itself, due to not wanting to incriminate himself.

"He did explain to me why he did what he did," Tomlin said. "I certainly don't condone the behavior, but I support DK. I really don't have a lot to add other than what I just told you. I think he has a hearing this afternoon, an appeals hearing, and I certainly don't want to weigh in prior to that. I have heard more recently that there might be legal ramifications, but I'd better be careful of what I say and how I say it."
