Alabama Star’s Encounter With Female Tennessee Fan Goes Viral (Video)
Alabama Star’s Encounter With Female Tennessee Fan Goes Viral (Video)
Tennessee earned an extremely hard-fought victory over Alabama this past weekend.
In doing so, the Vols snapped a 15-year losing streak to Nick Saban’s program and cemented themselves as one of the two best teams in the SEC.
Because of the stakes, Tennessee fans were elated after the game. They immediately stormed the field, before Alabama’s players could officially make their exit.
That led to one particularly sticky situation.
In a now-viral clip, many believe they see Crimson Tide wide receiver Jermaine Burton hit a female Tennessee fan following the outing. The clip speaks for itself:

Fan reaction poured in swiftly:
Can’t be. They’re as pure as the driven snow in all things Alabama. Clearly doctored video.

Just a bunch of sore losers

I guess you’re one of those “She had it coming” type of dudes.

If that’s legit…you need to turn that in to the appropriate authorities and have it investigated. He should end up being at very least suspended for his actions.

Worse yet, Burton also found himself in hot water after the fact over a separate encounter with a fan:
Man did you see the first one lol. He hit 2 people pic.twitter.com/mw8kisoxmu

Yikes.
Burton finished with two receptions for 49 yards against Tennessee, but obviously that wont be what folks are talking about after the fact. Time will tell if the Crimson Tide address these videos in any capacity.
Fans were on a different level this past Saturday. One Vols fan was cheering so loud her shirt flew right off. Another found her own unique way of leaving an impression.
And Alabama fans were treated quite unkindly in the aftermath.
All that being said, players putting their hands on fans is next level stuff.
Yikes Russell Wilson. https://t.co/vTv0Vo8OJI

Someone should answer for these videos.
Will Nick Saban do so at some point this week?
Time will tell.
