'Cringe' Bills Fans Bashed for 'Ruining' Boy's Moment With Josh Allen

Online commenters have bashed two women for "ruining" one boy's "special" moment with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

After leading his team to victory in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs on October 16, Allen rushed toward the stands and gave the game ball to a young Bills fan named Cole White.

Dan Fetes, a sports anchor for WHAM-TV, posted a video of the interaction to Twitter that night, writing: "Josh Allen [is a] GREAT QB, but an even better person." In the clip, Allen takes several photos with White and his parents as the crowd cheers. Meanwhile, the women standing beside White do what they can to steal the quarterback's attention.

At one point in the video, one of the women shoves her phone in Allen's face as he fiddles with the camera app on White's mom's phone. At another point, one of the women screams at Allen as he fist-bumps White's dad, Nick Williams. And throughout the entire clip, both women are seen photobombing the family's selfies with Allen.

"[My son] didn't notice [the women] there but was a little disappointed when I showed him the photos when we got to the car!" Williams tweeted. "[The photoboming] really takes away from the special moment."

With that said, Williams told Newsweek that his son had a great time, and his family has since managed to edit the women out of their photos.

"[White] was shocked when Josh Allen ran up to him. You can see his facial reaction. Looking back now it's kind of funny. He met his favorite player and it took his words away from him. Trust me, that kid talks all day," Williams said. "We were able to get the photobombers taken out. I'm trying to get a hold of the Bills to see if they will autograph the football Josh gave him. We have a case for the football and [are] waiting to print off the photos."

Viewers React

Viewers agreed that the women were wrong to try and "ruin" White's big moment.

Jack Mac said in a now-viral TikTok that their behavior made him "want to puke."

In the comments section of Mac's video, Uneventhicc wrote: "What is their problem? They [ruined] that kid's moment."

Over on Twitter, @JoshAllenQB4All said: "That is awful behavior. I'll give them the benefit of maybe having a few too many brews, but Josh clearly goes over to the kid to make the kid's day, which is awesome. Just sit back, be happy, [and] don't try to "get in" the moment. You got your social media post, and it ain't pretty."

"I love Josh just as much as the next girl, but I would NEVER act up like this. So unacceptable. I hope [they're] embarrassed," @weishaarems tweeted.

@RJTradez added: "Cringe. Very."

More About Allen

It's perhaps no surprise that White and the women were eager to meet Allen last month. Marcellus Wiley, a former NFL defensive end, called Allen the "greatest quarterback in the league" during a July episode of FS1's "Speak For Yourself."

"In terms of talent, in terms of checking every single box that you can, in terms of intangibles and tangibles, no one checks more than Josh Allen," Wiley said.

"Now, we have some quarterbacks that I would consider right on the same tier as Josh Allen...But when you talk about individual quarterbacks—looking at their attributes, looking at what they can do on the field and looking at what they personally do at the position in terms of accomplishments—whew, look at Josh Allen," Wiley continued. "He continues to improve every single year...Josh Allen is the greatest QB that we have playing right now."
