The woman in the Rams jersey shoved the woman in the Texans jersey. The man in the Rams jersey tried to hold her back, while a man in a Texans jersey attempted to stop the sunglasses-wearing fan from going at the other woman.
Scuffle between both the women
Both women continued yelling at each other before the Rams fan shoved again. Then the man in the Texans jersey poured a beer on the woman in the Rams jersey. The fight escalated as more people got involved.
At one point, a man in a Rams jersey and cap, who was holding a child, punched the man in the Texans jersey.
The fight seemed to slow down until the woman in the Rams jersey struck the woman in the Texans jersey with the back of her fist and then landed a left punch. That blow left the Texans fan bloodied and restarted the fighting.
SoFi stadium security arrived and tried to get the situation under control. The bloodied woman argued with security before she and the other Texans fans were escorted to the concourse, according to New York Post.
Fan violence during NFL games
Fan violence has become more common at NFL games in recent years. In Arizona, three men were arrested in September after a fight at State Farm Stadium, as reported by Daily Snark.
During opening weekend, another video showed a Giants fan being attacked outside by Commanders fans. A Bills fan was also banned after hitting two Ravens players during a touchdown celebration.
