Lions fan involved in altercation with Steelers star denies using racial slurs

The Detroit Lions fan involved in an altercation with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf, Ryan Kennedy, held a news conference Friday and said he did not use any racial slurs toward Metcalf. 

Kennedy said he did not use any racial slurs or hate speech on Sunday, adding he has never done so in his 15 years as a season ticket holder. 

"It is really hard to get me upset, but there’s two things — animal abuse, racism — like I get hot, right away. Like, I can feel my face gets all warm.
