Buffalo Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer has been suspended six games without pay for his role in an incident involving teenage boys that ended with violence and death threats.
And all of this was over some beach chairs.
Victims told deputies Kromer grabbed their fishing pole and threw the pole into the water and then pushed one of the boys to the ground and punched him in the face. It was stated Kromer then told the boys to return the chairs to where they found them.
"The victim stated Kromer also told him if he reported him to the police he would kill his family."
While Kromer's defense was that it was dark out and he didn't know it was a child he was punching, his response to whatever was happening seems just a wee bit excessive.
The battery charges against Kromer were dropped on Friday, but just as the NFL often does when its athletes are involved in these types of incidents, a suspension was levied nonetheless.
