Arena Football League games give a chance for fans to get a little closer to the action on the field. However, in Jacksonville recently, one fan might have gotten a little TOO close.
In a playoff game held this past Monday night in Jacksonville with the Georgia Force playing the hometown Sharks, Georgia receiver C.J. Johnson caught a kickoff at the back of his end zone. Johnson was about to run the ball out of the end zone when a Sharks fan in the front row wraps his arms around Johnson's helmet and tries to rip his helmet off by the facemask.
Despite getting high-five from some of the Shark players, I would hope that security removed the fan from the building.
