We previously noted that 49ers offensive tackle Anthony Davis accused Chiefs defensive tackle Shaun Smith of grabbing his genitals during Sunday’s game. Now video of the incident has emerged.
The video appears to back up Davis’s account of what happened: That Smith grabbed his crotch, Davis reacted by slugging Smith, and the officials gave Davis a 15-yard penalty for retaliating without ever seeing what Smith had done to provoke the retaliation.
Davis is the second opponent this season to accuse Smith of grabbing his junk; Browns center Alex Mack Mack also said Smith grabbed his genitals.
Smith didn’t receive any league discipline after Mack made his accusation. But now that there’s a second accusation, along with video evidence, it’s time for the league office to come down hard on Smith.
