THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The fan who ran onto the field during the Los Angeles Rams' loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night filed a police report against Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner.
According to TMZ Sports, the individual is an activist for the Berkeley-based animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere and was trying to "raise awareness for a trial involving the alleged theft of pigs from a factory farm."
Wagner said Wednesday that he's aware of the police report, but the incident is behind him.
"Can't really focus on it," Wagner said. "I'm more concerned about the security guard that was hurt trying to chase him. ... You just got to do what you got to do."
Wagner reiterated on Wednesday that as players, you never know what a person has in their hands or their pockets when they're on the field.
"There's consequences for your actions," Wagner said.

He should of gone out of bounds, instead he tried for extra yardage...... big mistake!
Poor choice activist
Experienced tort attorneys are waiting to take your call...
Good job. Now if he could only have done the same to Garapolo.
only in CA. All wagner has to say is he felt threatened by a fan ILLEGALLY on the field during play.
Well the tackle was satisfying to see but this Robert Wagner knew that he would go viral on the internet by tackling this sad sack to the ground. I would have done the same if I were Bobby Wagner. Not everyday that a football player has a chance to go viral.
That wasn’t much of a hit. If I were the judge, I’d dismiss the case.
Ridiculous.
I smell a lawsuit.Ten bucks says that the NFL settles for serious $$$.
I sure wonder if it was two white linebackers and a lil black protester if this would be the same ?
Seems to me the guy got activated and his awareness was raised. Win, win I say. Linebackers is good people. 😁
Check out Mike “mad dog” Curtis.
Middle linbacker for the old Baltimore Colts.
Someone from the stands ran on the field and stole the football.
Mad dog laid him out.
I’m not so sure. NFL has a sh*tload of good lawyers. Plus if this went to trial, the protest guy has no chance. Black guy taking out white guy...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Three words: LA jury
Any good defense attorney in LA will be able to seat enough black jurors to lock in a not guilty verdict.
He will get paid.
The lawsuit wouldn’t be against the player...it’ll be against the NFL.Deep pockets.
Police couldn’t get away with taking down a shop lifter like that. Running across a field is less criminal than shoplifting.
