"What touched off a bloody skirmish that left a Texas-shirt-wearing fan nearly castrated and an Oklahoma fan facing aggravated assault charges that could put him in prison for up to five years?
According to police, 32-year-old Texas fan Brian Christopher Thomas walked into Henry Hudson's Pub on June 17 wearing a Longhorns T-shirt and quickly became the focus of football "trash talk" from another regular, 53-year-old Oklahoma fan Allen Michael Beckett.
Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn't let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries.
It took more than 60 stitches to close the wound, and police interviewed Thomas at a nearby hospital emergency room. "
Seriously, I am a huge sports fan. And I talk trash to rival fans. But it should never go to the level where you are putting your hands on another fan. Much less putting your hands... umm... there.
(Edit: made it more clear what was from the article vs. my comments.)
