Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict grasped for some low-hanging fruit during Thursday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns, in what was a pretty classless move.
Burfict, for no reason at all, threw a cameraman’s camera to the ground at the end of a play. If you watch the clip, you can clearly see that teammate Reggie Nelson avoided it, while Burfict just kept on running, nonchalantly put his hands out and shoved the camera aside.

This action was completely unnecessary and rather classless. The poor cameraman even had to protect himself from getting hit.
As a football player, Burfict’s job is to make plays on the field, not to prevent an innocent bystander from doing his job.
