A little kid had to be tackled by security after running to the field during the Buccaneers-Falcons game. Some Twitter folks blame the boy’s parents for letting him lose and running to the field.

A boy was tackled by security after running onto the field during the Buccaneers’ 21-15 home win against Atlanta on Sunday.
The incident occurred during the second quarter while Tampa Bay was lining up for an extra point after a Leonard Fournette touchdown.
Video of the incident shows the boy trying to juke out security guards before being brought down near the sideline at Raymond James Stadium. ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported the child was held down for several seconds before being escorted off the field.
A woman who identified herself as the child’s mother told the AP that the boy is just 10 years old. A cop later said the boy is older than 10, but couldn’t release his information because he’s a juvenile.
The officer added that the mother has several kids and was confused about which one jumped onto the field.
Tampa Police Department spokesperson Abe Carmack reported no charges will be filed and no arrest was made.
While I agree the mom should have a little more control of her kids, was it necessary for the security to spear the kid?
He looked like Edge flying into the kid. He hit the kid harder than Bobby Wagner hit a grown man for running onto the field with pink smoke.
Adults should always be speared for running onto the field because they know why they are doing it and the consequences, but kids are just stupid and have no idea what they are doing, so let’s try to use some discretion next time.
Top Flight Security of the World is always taking it too far.
