‘They didn’t ask if anyone was hurt’: Fans speak out about WFT’s treatment after falling out of the stands at FedEx Field



Washington’s season is over and there is no possibility of a dispute. But like it or not, the team is making headlines.

The most recent defeat for the Washington Soccer Team was in the Week 17 competition with the Eagles. At the end of the game, Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was walking back to the locker room when a crowd of fans fell over the railing and fell to the ground a few feet below, nearly colliding with Hurts.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Hurts is genuinely concerned about what happened and wants to know what action the Washington Soccer Team and NFL are taking to correct the situation.

As it turns out, there doesn’t seem to be much going on on the Washington Soccer Team side. In a report Monday by ESPN, several fans who were part of the group that fell said the team and the stadium staff showed little interest in them.

“They didn’t ask if anyone was injured, and they certainly didn’t ask if anyone needed medical attention,” Andrew Collins, 26, of Brooklawn, NJ, told ESPN. “The only thing the staff told us was to get F off the field.”

According to ESPN, the extent of injuries suffered ranges from severe bruising to spasticity and contracture. Via ESPN, the Washington Soccer Team released a statement, which read:

“To our knowledge, all involved have undergone an on-site medical assessment and voluntarily left the stadium. We are delighted that no one was seriously injured. Safety of fans and guests is paramount and we’re looking at what happened.”

THAN: Why WFT’s new name isn’t Wolves or RedWolves

Some of the fans present denied that claim, saying it was “totally incorrect.”

The NFL has also been involved and is looking into what happened to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
