VINE: Jimmy Graham retires himself from stands after world’s weirdest grope

Joker ass grab made Graham's mind up for him

Odd headline, I’ll concede.

But it’s not half as strange as the goings on in the stands at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. 

Poor Jimmy Graham found himself in a bit of bother after jumping into the crowd to celebrate his second touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.

It was your standard celebration until, you know, The Joker from batman grabbed a handful of his ass.

The clip went viral this week but Graham has since told NOLA.com that the feel-up (which turned out to be at the hands of 43-year-old Scott McGowan) led to him making the decision to stop celebrating in the stands.

He said: “That’ll probably be my last one after I got groped up.”

“It was a moment in the game and I just wanted to go and thank all the fans for being there. Some people were trying to thank me a little too much…that’ll be the last one for me.”

We will not hold the decision against Graham.
