This made me like him a little bit, sorry! It's all so Copa America.

Indeed. If it was to protect his family, fair enough.
Some fans deserve it.
Anyone who doesn’t go into the stands to protect family or children is simply not a man. Anyone with kids knows this. Good on you Darwin.
Sólo porque estás perdiendo.
You guys are just finding reason to defend his behaviour.
Even if his wife and kid are on the pitch beside him before he decides to jump into the crowd?
Yeah leave your wife and kids alone on the pitch and go and fight a group of idiots. That sounds like a really smart idea.
No way this isn’t satire. No way you’re finding an angle
I hope he gets nine months suspension from football just like Cantona.
Title should say Thug.
It's a completely neutral stance, on one of the PL's top 2 strikersStraw men and tribalism
If NJ in your username refers to New Jersey, I do somehow understand your tribalism.
Is it t-shirt time though?
Invited to lunch with the President and medal of honour
Yes I am from the Bergen County tribe.
There’s something conflicting in Darwin’s parents naming him after Charles Darwin, only for him to go completely backwards in evolution and going neandertal in the stands.
No man it is Gym, Tan and Laundry first.
Aye, was planning to take my kids in 2026 but having second thoughts about it now.
If you can't get Uruguayans and Colombians to get along I'm not overly optimistic.
I'm used to this stuff, participate in the security and medical response before, during and after games at three major Brazilian stadiums. Done WC2014, Copa America, Copa Libertadores finals... some people get really broken up but it's usually troublemakers ending up in confrontations with police (e.g. remember Argentina at the Maracana? players got involved there too).
Very rarely do you see "regular people" in brawls and what I see there is largely "regular people". They are not situations were people suddenly snap that must have built up over twenty minutes at least so it's the stewards you have to have a long hard look at.
For fecks sake you made me spit out my coffee
Will we get to see the Liverpool players show their "Free Darwin" t-shirts during pre-season?
And here is me idiot watching Euro instead of this
How long will the ban be? and why wont it be longer?
Get the shirts printed ASAP.
Was at 2 games this Euro and there was a moment after one game where suddenly things have been thrown out of the bar and I was just walking down the street. Even in yesterday's game England vs Netherlands there was a fight near the bar and things started flying around with some fans just walking by. Am somehow used to that (or that it could happen), but couldn't forgive myself if one of the bottles hits my daughter for example.
Now, there are obviously ways to minimise the risk like coming late to the game, taking seats where there is less tribal fans, etc.. Still, however the risk is small, it's not worth it and especially in certain games.
if they defended suarez for racially abusing evra and justified it, you can be sure they’ll justify nunez’s action, which are easier to understand and defend.
This might make us shift focus towards bringing in a new centre forward if he gets a lengthy suspension. Blessing in disguise and all that.
In all seriousness, not the best outlook for him if he really went in after his wife and kids were already alongside him on the pitch. Probably just blacked out once he heard what happened, he's not exactly known for level-headed responses in such situations.

9 month ban please.
He shouldn't get banned at all, to be honest.
Good man Darwin. Football fans deserve the occasional beating.
South Americans are always like that. How come there was more Colombians? Do they not half the fans?
Why would anybody want him banned?
Of course he should be banned, we cant have players running in to the stand to fight with fans.
He also grabbed a chair and tried to throw it in to the crowd which should be a lengthy ban on its own.
If his family is in trouble then all bets are off. If they got killed and he just stood there, then what? I don't care what anyone says. And stewards are fecking useless twats anyway.
Agree 100%
judging from his quality of finishing, i doubt that he’s had any kids.
Seems that his family were in the ground already.
He just went to pick a fight with any Colombian fan.
From the video's ive seen his familly had already left the stand before he started fighting the fans
A cursory google search suggests that there are about 1.5 million people of Colombian descent in the US compared to about 50-60k Uruguayans.
