What has to happen before the league puts a stop to these teams doing crap during warmups to start fights?

The 49ers try to do it every week.. now the Chargers have gotten in on it. A few teams are trying that old "let's accidentally stray into the other team's warmup area" trick to mess with their heads now. At some point somebody is going to go full Myles Garrett and yank a helmet off and start swinging it at an opposing player and somebody will be seriously injured. After which everybody will say "Yeah they shouldn't have let that go on so long." It's just a matter of time if it keeps up and the league can easily start handing out six or even seven figure fines to the coaches and team owners if their guys do it and that would be the end of it.

It appeared from a brief video I saw that the Cowboys ran through the Chargers DB warm up area and started the melee.

Boxers do the same thing. Any physical game needs a mental edge. Great coaching and teamwork on 49ers part.
Until they lose a player or two because someone on the other team opens up a can on one of their guys. Yes most of these guys are just big lugs who might struggle to beat you or me in a fair fight.. but some of them have MA training and could do serious damage if they snap. Fortunately most of the guys who have that kind of training are cool and calm enough not to get caught up in that nonsense. I think Amari Cooper is one of those with an MMA background... and he is as about as calm as a sleeping baby..

This gives me chills. This is in my top-2 greatest pre-fight intros. The other one is Bernard Hopkins coming into the ring to fight Tito Trinidad with Ray Charles' "America The Beautiful" as his intro.

The battle here between cultures here was more epic than the actual fight because Salvatore kicked his *** all over the ring. Off the top of my head, Gomez was coming into the fight with a 38 consecutive stoppage streak. It lasted until Wilder went on a 39 fight stoppage streak. To Gomez' credit, he came up in weight to make this huge fight happen.

Check it out, hermano. I love this battle between the Mariachi's and the Sounds of Cuba. It was all in fun too as you see them all laughing.

Yes but what you didn't see in the video is that the Chargers DB warm up area had taken up residence on the Cowboys side of the field and that was why the Cowboys had to run through it.
Almost every video I've seen was it was our fault. We have a reputation for talking to much and doing dumb things. I'd have been peeved too if I were the Chargers

Maybe when they haul off Deebo Samuel in handcuffs.

Just like all other infractions. Dole out severe penalties & make a few examples.

The Chargers knew what they were doing when they setup their warmup area on the Cowboys side of the field. They were trying to play head games and it turned ugly which they obviously wanted. They thought they could get in the Cowboys' heads that way.. Well not just the Cowboys because apparently they do it every game.. They know they shouldn't and they just don't care. What if Fowler's right cross lands squarely on Ekelor's jaw and breaks it and he is out several games as a result? And again.. what if some Randy Gregory type completely loses it and goes full Myles Garrett and whacks somebody upside the head with a helmet? Or hell whacks them anywhere with a helmet?

OK. That makes sense. Like Williams of the 49ers.
