I Had Nothing To Do With Field Stormer
… I Was Talking To A Young Fan!!!

Detroit Lions long snapper Hogan Hatten is denying he had a role in a spectator’s decision to storm the field during Sunday’s game against the Commanders … saying he didn’t utter a single word to the guy all night.
Video of the fan’s stunt made rounds on social media … and some folks claimed an interaction with Hatten caused the whole thing.
Hatten went to social media on Monday to explain that couldn’t be further from the truth … calling the claims “inaccurate.”
“I struck up a fun conversation with a young fan, who you can’t see sitting in front of him in the front row, and ended up giving him a ball after the game!” Hatten said.
The person who captured the field storming claimed Hatten was talking “ish” toward the Commanders fan who hopped the barrier 20 minutes later … only to be tackled by security.
The individual was escorted off by on-field personnel. No word on any potential punishment.
While it’s unclear what the field invader’s intentions truly were, storming the field is nothing new — it unfortunately happens all the time, even at the World Series.
Word of advice … keep your butts in your seats.
