Some sports fans think Buffalo Wild Wings is playing chicken over its response to the person who ran onto the court at the first game of the NBA Finals.
On June 4, the wing chain took to X to address the incident at the game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs a day earlier during which a fan ran onto the court trying to get a selfie with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.

“Internet, help us find the banned fan. He can watch the rest of the finals at B-Dubs on us,” Buffalo Wild Wings wrote.
A fan runs onto the court and takes a photo with Victor Wembanyama #1 of the San Antonio Spurs during the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals on June 03, 2026 in San Antonio, Texas.
Buffalo Wild Wings’ response to the debacle drew widespread attention on social media; the post garnered 4.8 million views as of June 5. While some fans supported the restaurant, many people took issue with the chain’s offer.
