Ram’s Stafford Appears Indifferent to Photographer’s Scary Fall

Los Angeles Rams star Matthew Stafford is taking heat today for his seemingly nonchalant attitude after a scary accident happened right in front of him. It happened as the quarterback and his teammates were onstage at a rally to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. When Stafford and his wife posed for a photo, the woman taking the picture tumbled backwards off the stage, falling about eight feet. Stafford appeared to mouth “oh my God,” then turned and walked away. The photographer said she fractured her spine.

He is a rare breed- he is both a Quarterback and a Turn-His-Back.

What makes it look so bad is that he turns away and drinks his water like it wasn’t serious but his wife sure noticed. 🤔

So glad to see his wife has class and empathy

It’s horrifying to see that the photographer fell off the stage! Hopefully she’s can recover from this incident!

He’s the definition of not my business not my problem

To all the people saying “what could he have done?” Notice his wife’s reaction how she was immediately concerned and even walked to the end of the stage to try and help. That’s the least he could have done. Instead he just walked around looking aloof

Every human should feel something when another gets hurt or injured. The fact that he had a sip of water after that incident speaks volumes.

Situations like these show how a person truly is. He turned his back to someone that was hurt. A human being with any compassion would have looked to see if she was ok (ie his wife).

Good sportsmanship isn't always about winning a stupid game. His reaction and inaction really shows what he is all about.

It’s moments like these that you learn a person’s true color.

Good move by the rams. Paying for her medical bills & new photography equipment. Can’t change what happened but they did what they could to help out & offer that. Much respect.

[SavageThrifter]

It's not like he thought she just tripped and took a little embarrassing spill. That was EIGHT FEET. For him to not be concerned or at least look over to see if she landed on a damn spike or something...is insane. 🚩🚩🚩🚩

[gsthMD]

This is so sad, the way he turned away and proceeded to drink his water and not help that lady says a lot about him as a human.

[Herefortheteaandfood]

His team won the Superbowl. He has everything going for him... Except a heart of gold.

[bigpimpen]

He literally ruined his whole image for life. I can't imagine anyone turning their back after someone falling off a stage.

[kaylabennett]

Damn, what a gentleman. I hope the photographer is doing alright, that fall looked painful af.

[cangreburger]

if only he only would’ve walked away he could get defended but he really even drank water just like nothing happened, absolutely stunning.

[leahsalas]

Damn that’s so messed up he literally just walked away only his wife was concerned and had the heart to see if she was okay. Just bc your a NFL football player doesn’t make give you the privilege to not care about a person that just fell 8ft right in front of you so disrespectful

[dextec]

🙏 for her. His wife went into action quick. Should have protective rails, a safety red flag. Got to protect each other, always have a safety checklist for all events, this is a sad reminder.

He could of asked someone to help out atleast, but his reaction was so, "damn thats crazy bro"
