The New England Patriots fan who went viral on social media for calmly dealing with the harassment from a Raiders fan last Sunday finally got a chance to tell his story.
Jerry Edmond, a Milford native and a CCSU alum, has been a lifelong Patriots fan ever since he started watching football. He said he fell in love with Tom Brady, as most Patriots fans did.
Edmond took his Patriots fandom to Las Vegas where they faced the Raiders in Allegiant Stadium. He said that from the beginning of the game, the woman seen in the video started to get on him for supporting his team.

really…had to go there and pull out the race card! if you dish it, you need to take what you get in return; especially in the home team's stadium! they were probably both equally at fault!
My respect for this young man. He handled it extremely well still it is such a pity he had to go through such a bitter experience. As for that "thing" that looks like a lady 😂 my god… Disgusting behavior 🤮
Karen wanted the 🍆
Well all that nonsense she displayed worked out for his good. The Raiders team denounced her behavior she look crazy I sure hope she learned that it doesn't take all that to support your team shameful.
The entire video hasn’t been shown. The Patriots fan started the trash talk. He just stood quit at the end because of the humiliation on how his team lost.
Nothing says cool like sunglasses on the back of your head
Damn. Watching that ending must’ve made that the worst first game experience ever lol
Both the teams sucks who cares
Media only highlights when blacks go off but most of us have to take it like each day because we don't wanna end up being labeled as the angry black person which is an automatic prison sentence for some. There are a lot of women like this out there believe me!
that woman is a disgrace to the Silver and Black
Only a woman can act like this and have no fear of physical repercussions
Raiders fans we gotta be better. We have to check ourselves.
I’m sure that Karen voted for trump
It’s so wild to me that anyone could get this heated over a game.
microcosm of what it's like to black in American…major props to Jerry for his composure and to Robert Kraft for extending a bit of justice in this situation
What’s wrong with da bitch
Here take this with you and your box of tissue…….L
Brooo you don’t know raider fans then lol
It's always great to see someone with great composure and level-headedness. It's safe to say his parent(s), school, and his upbringing must have influenced him. Very great for this guy for keeping calm and not picking up a fight.
Kudos to you Sir!!
She is trash, he took the high road and didn't stoop to trash level.
Well it's not about keeping cool and not doing anything to get arrested " as a black man" as stupid and annoying as she was you still can't deck a lady for yelling at you lol.
fat Karen, joke's on YOU. you'll be stuck miserable in your shitty nosebleeds, while the gentleman gets box seats for free IN SPITE OF YOU.
I’m 100% confident no white folks would’ve objected to him knocking her out.
When you're drunk the truth comes to the surface… some people are simple minded idiots in their everyday sober life💯 may also be Racist💯. #Idiocy!
These raider fans get this upset over a patriots fan? How they gonna feel when 49ers and the team take over the stadium and the score next week? LOL
Emdond seems like a great young man. He gives me hope for the future.
Trash talk happens at games.
If you're too sensitive to it then stay home.
It's my ex wife ..I had to watch like 50x her name is Angela, I divorced her after 1 year of therapy twice a month w her therapist of 5yrs who told her I will leave and ultimately did. I chose after 2 yrs to choose my daughter's and I happiness (she's not the mom).her Prozac and Zoloft rages we're too much . Im a Raider fan and I applaud him 👏 I dealt w it for 2 yrs..eeew I pray it's not her and I pray for anyone near this woman, she should be 86ed Raider fam!
I pray for guys out there having to deal women w mental health issues..
It's simple to look up the seat # and PSL info her name is Angela, 99.9%sure. Mad defending Carr..lol that's only thing funny!!! Your welcome everyone
She should be banned for life any nfl game
I understand getting into the game a bit, but you don't need to take it out on other people, that's just lame.
That lady is insane! She should be embarrassed.
Class versus trash.
That lady is everything that is wrong with America. Disgusting person
STFU HES NOT SO INNOCENT!!!! It happens in every stadium!!!!!
It’s all good the Steelers handed them an L and coal for Christmas 😂😂😂😂😂
It's official! Karen is a Raiders fan.
Fairly typical of:
A. Raiders fans
B. Karens
Lady needs to stop drinking..handled that very well…I may have been going to jail not the Pats Suite…
