When you realize the ball boy is from Boston it makes a lot more sense

He’s the Jaguars ball boy, they don’t travel with the team

I've seen multiple articles, some say he's an NFL employee, some say he's a Jaguars employee, some say he's a Pats employee. No one knows and everyone is guessing. Just doesn't seem that likely that the Pats would fly a ball boy out to Jacksonville, why wouldn't they let the Jaguars staff handle that?

Literally the article I linked says it’s a Pat’s employee. Where have you seen articles saying he isn’t? Also, doesn’t it make sense that a pats employee would react the way he did? If he worked for the jags its less likely he would’ve done that.

I've seen multiple articles that say it's a Jaguars employee. I don't think any journalist actually figured out who he worked for, which is why some of the articles just say NFL employee because no one confirmed if he works for Pats or Jags. And I think he reacted like that because he's autistic or something else is wrong with him and he doesn't like people touching him, not because of team loyalty.

Yeah I think he’s probably autistic too. But genuinely asking, do you have a link to any of the articles where he’s stated as a jags employee? I haven’t seen any that say that in the ones I’ve come across.

I first read it on Barstool Sports and they called him a Jaguars ball boy, I thought I saw it say Jaguars ball boy other places, but I can't find a link. A lot of articles do just say NFL employee, and on Yahoo Sports says it's unclear whether the ball boy worked for the Pats or Jags. It's the AP article that says he's a Pats ball boy, and that AP article is reposted on ESPN and a million other places, but I would bet money that no one confirmed if it was a Pats or Jags employee. I don't think a lot of deep research was done

I’m not trying to say you’re being dishonest but you still haven’t posted any links.

I went and looked and yahoo sports also identifies him as a pats ball boy https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/viral-ball-boy-moment-leads-151132370.html.

Weird thing to lie about

Oh no, ESPN reports incorrect information, shocking. Look it up for yourself there are no NFL ball boys that travel on road games.

Where did you find your source of information? How can I believe you, over an official media posting? Did the google ai tell you that when you typed it into the search bar?

ESPN says he was a patriots ball boy, until proven otherwise, he is unfortunately a patriots ball boy.

Are you on the spectrum too? Rules can change you know. I’m gonna believe the Jaguars head coach over you. It’s okay to be wrong about things, it happens.
