UFL Suspends Samson Nacua for One Game After Fan Altercation

Samson Nacua, wide receiver for the Michigan Panthers and former BYU star, has been suspended for one game without pay by the United Football League after slapping a fan during a postgame altercation following a loss to the St. Louis Battlehawks. The incident, widely shared on social media, showed Nacua exchanging words with a fan before lunging and striking him, while teammate Adonis Alexander stood nearby and laughed. In addition to the suspension, Nacua agreed to participate in community service events arranged by the league. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has also opened an investigation into the altercation, reviewing security footage from the Dome at America’s Center. Nacua, who is the older brother of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, publicly apologized to his team, the league, and fans for his actions. This event has raised questions about player conduct and professionalism within the league.
