Draymond Green threw food at Seattle Seahawks fans

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green threw food at Seattle Seahawks fans during Divisional round game against the Carolina Panthers.
TMZ Sports obtained a video of Draymond Green throwing food at Seattle Seahawks fans from his luxury box at CenturyLink field during the Seahawks win over the Carolina Panthers in the Divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
According to Bleacher Report, Green, not a fan of either team, joined his teammate Steph Curry and his family, including his mom, Sonya, in a Carolina Panthers suite at the game. Curry grew up in North Carolina and is a Panthers fan.
TMZ claims a group of Panthers fans in the luxury box had been going at it with Seahawks fans for most of the game, and it reached a boiling point late in the game.
The end result was Green and another person in the box throwing what Green himself identified as “4 grapes” on Twitter.
In the video, Sonya Curry is seen giving some Seahawks fans a thumbs-down sign. Such a mom, move. You’d think Sonya, of all the people there, would be able to keep her cool. Her husband, Dell, and two sons, Steph and Seth, are professional athletes. You’d think she’d be able to turn the other cheek when it came rowdy, heckling fans.
Steph, who Draymond attended the game with, isn’t show in the video, which is a major bummer to say the least. We all know if he was throwing grapes, someone in the crowd would be missing an eye… because he’s a dead-eye shooter.
Sorry, that was a terrible joke.
Although I’m not a Carolina Panthers fan, I can sympathize with how the Panthers fans were feeling at the time. I live in Seattle, and there is no group of fans more cocky in a rub-it-in-your-face way than Seahawks fans. After an entire game of being heckled and yelled at by those fans, I could see myself throwing a few grapes.
No one was kicked out of the game, and both parties exited the stadium without another altercation.
All’s well that ends well, I suppose. This could have had a very different ending if a few other NBA players were involved… cough.. Ron Artest/Metta World Peace… cough.
