At one point, he even tackled a young player, throwing him to the ground—a move that sparked a playful brawl on the field.
Following the rough tackle, Blue got into a back-and-forth shoving match with the kids, who, in retaliation, surrounded him and managed to pull off his jersey in the process.
Blue, known for his playful antics, didn’t back down.
After the shoving match, he entertained the crowd by doing some exaggerated celebratory dance moves, even thrusting his hips toward the sky as fans in the stands cheered.
