Fans always stay fighting.
A confrontation erupted in the stands during a Major League Baseball game between the Cleveland Guardians and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays, leading to a chaotic scene captured on video by other spectators.
The footage shows a tumultuous exchange between fans of the two teams, culminating in a man wearing a Cleveland jersey being forcefully knocked to the ground.
The incident quickly escalated as surrounding fans intervened; some helped the fallen man while others worked to restrain the aggressor and diffuse the situation.
A social media user who witnessed the event provided a detailed account of how the conflict started: “So the blonde woman was saying trash to the woman in the red shirt. Then someone hit the blonde woman with either mustard or nacho cheese and then her husband came in and made everything worse,” the eyewitness recounted. The situation intensified when a man in a white shirt attempted to intervene, only to be met with anger from another individual in a black shirt.
