UFL suspends Michigan Panthers’ Samson Nacua for slapping fan in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - The UFL has suspended a Michigan Panthers’ for slapping a fan at the Battlehawks game Saturday in St. Louis.
A viral video shows that after the game, Michigan’s Samson Nacua apparently had some sort of disagreement with a fan in a seat near the field. After a verbal exchange, Nacua slaps the man in the face and walks away.
The fan appeared uninjured by the strike.
UFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Daryl Johnson says Nacua will be suspended for one game without pay. As part of the suspension, the Michigan receiver has agreed to participate in UFL community service events.
Samson Nacua is the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua. Additional details were not included in the UFL statement. The Battlehawks won the game 32-27.
