The CFB world was in chaos after Notre Dame defense tackle Rylie Mills threw a punch at LSU star Emmanuel Pregnon's facemask during CFB's rivalry game on Saturday. The officials missed the altercation, enraging fans even further as they demanded immediate disqualification.

The punch was caught on camera, going viral instantly.

Along with other fans, Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly chimed in on the matter. Kelly called out the system, declaring that sportsmanship doesn't exist in the current world.

"Watching college football rivalry week wondering where sportsmanship and class went. This is somewhat comical and also just annoying. Punching guys with helmets on. How's that hand feel? We all need Jesus."

Most fans were enraged over the incident, more so that the incident wasn't called while the game was on. If it was spotted, Mills would have been ejected soon after the illegal punch. That being said, people involved are yet to comment on the viral moment.

Furthermore, Notre Dame ended up winning the game 49-35 against LSU.


Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly previously called out a fan for prying glove from Mookie Betts' hand

Active on social media, Kelly Stafford has seldom shied away from sharing her opinion. This mostly includes viral news in the sports world, especially as Kelly keeps herself updated.

In October, Kelly called out the fan who tried to pry the glove from Mookie Betts during the World Series Game 4 between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"The fact that people are laughing and making excuses for this guy is what is wrong with our society today. This isn't little league, which, if I had to guess, is the last time this guy has touched a baseball. This is the World Series. Yankees should ban these fans FOR LIFE to show that they respect this game and the players who are playing in it," Kelly said on IG.

She urged people to stop supporting the wrong things, which means not cheering when someone is injured. As per Kelly, buying tickets doesn't mean one can start behaving like barbarians at games.

While the 2024 NFL season might come to an end in February, one can expect Stafford to continue sharing her candid opinions on Instagram.
