25 Most Hilarious, Painful and Shocking Overly-Involved Sports Fan Videos

Sometimes when fans attend sporting events, they find themselves a little more involved in the action than the average spectator.

Some seem dead set on fulfilling their lifelong goal of being a pro athlete, while others think running onto the field and getting chased by overweight security guards is a good idea after a few beers.

Whether these fans intended to or not, they found themselves in the spotlight by making themselves a part of the game. It causes for videos that showcase hilarity, pain and sadness, sometimes all in one clip.

Enjoy.

Rogue Goalie

This guy isn't about to watch his team get a goal scored on them from an open net.

When he sees the opposition with a free shot, he steps in and does what he has to do. Here's to you, rogue goalie.

The Great Escape

We've all seen fans run onto the field time and time again. They run in circles, throwing juke moves on security guards until they are finally caught.

A fan running around that has acrobatic training and a ninja background was unheard of before this guy came around. He's the most talented, stupid fan of all time.

Father of the Year

All right, so this isn't a pro sport and the "fan" is a coach, but this roided-out dad can't help but get involved when a ref touches one of his kids.

He gets somewhat of a pass here, as this fit of rage was clearly sparked by the juice. He's teaching the kids a valuable lesson here: When someone does something you don't agree with, freak out and make an idiot out of yourself.

Malice at the Palace

Just think, the most horrific scene in NBA history might not have happened if some fan wouldn't have thrown his beer at Ron Artest.

This slide can't be attributed to one fan, though. It was a group effort, as multiple Pistons fans went out of their way to provoke Artest and the Pacers.

It didn't go well for any of the parties involved.

Rodney Dangerfield

This fan gets no respect. He is squirted with a water bottle and leans on the glass to give Tie Domi a piece of his mind.

The glass didn't hold his weight and collapsed. At that point the guy was already pot-committed. With no way to back out, it was go time.

Beautiful.

Foooooooore!

This fan wasn't trying to get involved in the action. The unsuspecting victim was struck in the head by a golf shot that went awry off the tee.

The impact may have been the only thing to keep the botched shot off the car path. Maybe he was able to swing a signed Robert Allenby hat for his troubles.

That's worth an upwards of $4 on eBay and well worth the concussion he likely sustained.

Father of the Year

Little Billy gets wrecked here by a bully on the other team. It was a blatant cheap shot and little Billy should have been outraged.

Before the kid even had a chance to figure out what was going on, Billy's dad, who is an assistant coach, runs onto the field and blows the kid up.

Atta way dad.

Way to go the extra mile to protect your kids, even if it means physically assaulting a child.

Why? Why? Why?

Nancy Kerrigan probably wasn't ever expecting to have her leg bashed with a club, but an angry member of Tanya Harding's posse made it so.

In pain and obviously baffled, she wasn't able to skate. Mission accomplished for the fan who carried out one of the most malicious attacks in sports history.

Surprise Guest

You would think those involved in WWE would be ready for anything, but nothing could have prepared Eddie Guerrero for a fan jumping into the ring and knocking him from a ladder.

Guerrero landed on his feet and clocked the dumb fan. The announcer line at the end is classic, "What do you expect? He's a Canadian."

Bird Bomb

Don't be fooled by animals that hang out at ball parks. They know exactly what they are doing. This unsuspecting bird wanted to get closer to the action.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the velocity the Big Unit was packing behind his pitch. The ball hit the bird and our feathered friend exploded on impact. I feel it was the way he would have wanted to go.

Tasers in the Outfield

This guy isn't related to the ninja acrobat who performed the great escape. Same dumb idea, completely different outcome.

This guy was putting off being tackled as long as possible. He probably thought handcuffs and a night or two in jail would be the worst thing that could happen to him.

Law enforcement was in no mood for games and tased him.

Tiny Little Foot Soldier

When some "moron runs onto the field", this announcer just can't hide his animosity. Rex Ryan on the other hand, finds it hilarious.

You can't please everyone. It's no different than being a comedian who only appeals to a small audience. If you make one person smile, it's worth it.

Ichiro Clone Gets the Boot

A dead-on Ichiro clone would have likely landed on SportsCenter, even if he had an uneventful day at the ball park. As it turns out, he ended up fielding a live ball and getting booted out of the stadium.

The poor guy either didn't know the ball was still in play or was just channeling his inner-Ichiro, but rules are rules.

Steve Bartman

Graphic Content Warning: Cubs fans, skip to next slide.

Steve Bartman was the unlucky sap who gets the brunt of the blame for ruining a Cubs' World Series run. He robbed the Cubs of an opportunity to catch a foul ball. It probably wouldn't have been a huge deal, but that inning rendered eight runs and led to an epic collapse for the Cubs.

As for Bartman? One foul ball ruined his entire life.

A Touchy Subject

As a heckler, the goal is to get in the mind of the player, to throw them off their game. They are often loud, vulgar and obnoxious by design.

This fan is said to have talked about LeBron James' mom's relationship with Delonte West. Bron Bron made it clear that he wasn't having any of that.

James Harrison Hates Everyone

James Harrison doesn't like the commissioner, his opponents, his teammates or, as this video indicates, fans. This fan thought getting blitzed and running onto the field would be a good idea.

He gets suplexed by Harrison. Welcome to the NFL.

Luckily for the fan, he was so wasted he claims it did not hurt. Victory.

Free Souvenir

One of the best parts of attending an Arena Football game is that you get to keep the ball if it ends up in the stands. This fan wanted a bigger souvenir.

He grabbed the return man in a manner that could have easily warranted an ejection, penalty for the team or molestation charge.

Spike Lee

Spike Lee vs. Reggie Miller was almost as epic of a battle as Miller vs. the Knicks. Lee vocally involved himself in the game more so than anyone did before or since.

Lee was blamed for fueling Miller throughout the rivalry, but he never shut up. The banter developed into a saga and later an ESPN 30 for 30 called Winning Time.

Tennis Psychopath

This is the most disturbing sports incident I've ever seen. It's a major buzz kill to this slideshow, but necessary.

Some seriously twisted and deranged Steffi Graf fan stabbed Monica Seles during a match. This horrible and horrific event would change Seles' career and life forever.

Talk to the Hand

Michael Beasley doesn't care what the venue is, he's never going to pass up on a good opportunity to showcase his lack of judgement.

When a heckler gets a little lippy, Beasley does his best to put him in his place. Well done fan.

Too Many Men on the Ice

If you are going to get a beat down from an angry group of guys, it might as well be a bunch of pro hockey players right?

This guy jumps the glass and finds himself getting beaten like an egg by Rob Ray as the rest of the bench held him in place.

His mother must be proud.

Lucky Dani

I'm disgusted by this hot, scantily clad foreign girl running onto the soccer field like she owns it. Who does she think she is?

To make matters worse, she's brandishing a message that she thinks is pretty clever.

Who are we kidding? Nobody cares about this sort of disruption. Even the fuzz seemed to be pretty cool about it.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Ah the snowball game. Fans in New York launched a full-fledged snowball fight onslaught against the Chargers. Someone actually got hurt, it wasn't all in good fun.

Snowballs kept coming in throughout the game. There was nothing they could do to stop it and Giants' fans never got tired of the satisfaction of their juvenile antics.

Bruce Lee

This soccer fan thinks he's hilarious. This is the perfect video of a fan running onto the field for three reasons.

a) He's way too happy about being a disruption in the beginning of the video, making the audience immediately want something horrible to happen to him.

b) He kept his clothes on throughout the entire video, which is a rarity in soccer.

c) He got a flying knee to the grill by one of the players.

This video reminds me of a certain someone on the next slide.

Swift Justice

Another drunk fan thought it would be funny to run on the field. This one tried to steal the ball, when Mike Curtis completely leveled him.

Some thought it was too harsh. Curtis thought it was necessary. Either way, it's entertaining.

If you want to skip to the good stuff, it's at 2:15.
