San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw isn’t someone you want to mess with. The same must be said about Philadelphia Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro.
They call him “Big Dom” for a reason. He’s a big man.
Greenlaw got ejected for taking a swipe at Big Dom on the sideline. Greenlaw suplexed Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith near the Philadelphia sideline at the end of a 13-yard gain to the 49ers’ 24-yard line. The Eagles sideline immediately started yelling at the officials to throw the flag, including DiSandro. Greenlaw then stuck a finger in DiSandro’s face, striking him.
It wasn’t a huge shot but the contact was enough to get him ejected.
DiSandro was ejected too, but the Eagles will take that tradeoff. DiSandro left the sideline as Philly fans gave him a standing ovation and loud cheers. The Eagles scored soon after that. Hey, any shift in momentum can help, even the head of security getting tossed.
You see new things all the time in the NFL, and a linebacker and opposing team head of security being ejected for getting into a scuffle may be a first for everyone.
