Raiders’ Smith, Crosby aim obscene gestures toward hecklers in Seattle
Henderson, nev. -The quarter of Las Vegas Raiders, Geno Smith, and the defensive winger Maxx Crosby were captured on videos making obscene gestures towards the fans of Seattle Seahawks as they entered the field before their pre-season match on Thursday evening.
The Detroit Lions branch Safety Brian was sentenced to a fine of $ 10,128 for having made a gesture similar to fans of Green Bay Packers last November, according to several reports at the time.
Several videos of Smith and Crosby’s actions went around social networks on Friday.
A video showed that the team met because it was ready to enter the field. Crosby is seen bouncing on his feet and seems to speak to fans and tries to enter a sign. Then Smith joins Crosby, jumping from top to bottom and looks in the direction of these fans. While the team begins to run on the field, Smith makes an obscene gesture for fans with Crosby immediately after his.
At least one fan seemed to taunt the players before the gestures were made.
A sign said: “Bust larger – Geno or Jamarcus Russell?”
The Raiders of the era-Oakland drafted Russell for the first time in 2007, but he went 7-18 as a quarter-Arrière leaving and played only three seasons.
Smith was the Seahawks starter in the last three seasons before not reconciling on a new agreement. He followed his former coach, Pete Carroll, when the raiders exchanged for him.
Thursday’s match ended 23-23.
