Breece Hall is speaking out following a recent confrontation with an aggressive fan at the airport that required Giants great Carl Banks to intervene.
Hours after footage of the incident circulated on social media, the Jets running back addressed the matter Monday in a post on X, stressing “there’s a time and a place for everything” and “harassing me at baggage claim ain’t the time or place.”
“If you know me you know I always show love!!! There’s a time and a place for everything but harassing me at baggage claim ain’t the time or place,” the 22-year-old Hall wrote.
“Thankfully Carl and my guy Joe were there to keep anything from happening.”
The encounter initially unfolded on Super Bowl Sunday at Newark Liberty International Airport, where Hall flew in from Las Vegas.
As the former second-round pick waited at baggage claim, the fan in question sought Hall’s autograph and the NFL pro preferred not to sign.
Tensions appeared to escalate from there, according to footage shared by TMZ Sports, with the fan telling Hall: “So, be a man. If you’re gonna slap me, slap me.”
Banks, a 6-foot-4 former linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion with the Giants, could be seen speaking to the fan near Hall and even stepped between parties, urging the supporter to move along.
Upon leaving the area, the fan took a verbal shot at Hall.
“Get the f–k out of here, p—y,” the individual said.
Banks, 61, who told TMZ he wasn’t going to sit idle amid the developing situation, re-shared Hall’s message on his own X page Monday.
Hall recently wrapped his second season with the Jets, rushing for 994 yards with five touchdowns a year removed from a torn ACL.
