San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw made headlines on Sunday Night Football, receiving an early ejection after an altercation with Dom DiSandro, the Eagles’ security chief known as “Big Dom.” The ejection occurred when Greenlaw threw DeVonta Smith to the ground and engaged in a scuffle with individuals on the Eagles sideline.
Dom DiSandro, responsible for protecting Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni during games, was involved in a verbal exchange with Greenlaw, leading to the linebacker taking a swipe at DiSandro. DiSandro’s removal from the sideline, and potential further punishment from the NFL, highlighted the intense nature of the incident.
Despite Greenlaw’s ejection, he had a team-high seven tackles before leaving the game. The altercation and subsequent ejection of Big Dom drew attention on social media, with fans speculating on DiSandro’s role and sharing his social media profile and bio.
DiSandro’s engagement with Greenlaw resulted in his removal from the sideline and may attract a more severe penalty from the NFL. This comes in the wake of the league’s stringent actions, such as with a cameraman whose phone was used by Tyreek Hill during a celebration.
Nick Sirianni took the initiative to apologize to Kyle Shanahan for DiSandro’s role in the incident, as reported by Mike Florio on NBC’s Football Night In America. The apology reflects an acknowledgment of the disruption caused by the altercation and seeks to address any concerns or repercussions arising from the incident.
The incident added to the drama of the game and left an impact on both teams involved.
