Ryan Kennedy, a Detroit Lions fan, is suing Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf for $100 million after an alleged altercation at Ford Field on December 21. The lawsuit, filed in Wayne County Court, includes claims of negligence against Ford Field and defamation against Metcalf, Chad Johnson, and others, after Kennedy was accused of using racial slurs, which he denies. Metcalf received a two-game suspension for the incident, while Kennedy alleges assault and battery against him. The lawsuit argues that Ford Field management failed to prevent physical contact between players and fans.
