Fans always be fighting.

It’s pretty common these days to see viral videos of fans fighting at various sporting events. NFL games in particular are known for fans slugging it out in the stands. It must be something in the water, or the kind of guy swho only wish they were on the field where psychically assaulting someone is just part of the game. Of course a fan fight can break out anywhere, even at a  friendly fan fest. Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore wasn’t going to let that happen Thursday night. Moore hopped into the stands to break up a tense situation at the team’s Fan Fest.

One fan grabbed video of the altercation, which thankfully did not escalate to a fight.

Watch below:

Two men are arguing and gesturing in each other’s faces. But before things get to a dangerous point, Moore steps into the frame. Moore gestures for the guys to cut it out and talks to them in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

Another fan captured a different angle of Moore talking to the rowdy fans.

Watch below:

Moore’s intervention appears to have worked. If the fans had fought and thrown punches, there would be yet another video circulating around the Internet. If that video exists, it hasn’t come out yet, and we have Moore to thank for that.

But I kinda wish he would have just let those guys work out their issues.
