I completely understand why American broadcasters generally won’t show fans who run onto the field in the middle of a game.

Andy Dalton Stunk And Then Got A Hat Thrown At Him
It’s almost impossible to have a conversation about the NFL that doesn’t include a discussion of how many bad quarterbacks are in the league.
