As the MLB playoff season starts to heat up, a video has emerged of a scuffle breaking out between a White Sox and Astros fan after the latter’s victory at Minute Maid Park yesterday, and it looks like things got a bit ugly.
As reported by TMZ, the fight began when a White Sox fan donning a Tim Anderson jersey had a drink dumped on him as he exited the stands. When the White Sox fan retaliated and shoved the man who poured the drink, another Astros lover stepped in and knocked the White Sox fan clean off his feet with a punch to the face. When he got back up, the Astros fan punched him in the face once again.
The footage, which was filmed by another playoff attendee, caught the whole incident on camera, and the video has since started to make the rounds on Twitter. Another video from a different angle showed that the fight was eventually broken up by other fans. The altercation came as the Astros were declared victors in last night’s playoff game with a final score of 2-1.
Fighting at sporting events has become a common occurrence recently. During the Chargers and Raiders game at LA’s SoFi Stadium on Monday, an even bigger brawl broke out between fans of the two competing NFL teams. In footage that was acquired by TMZ, several men were seen punching another group of sports fans in the row below them. According to a bystander, security was reportedly nowhere to be found because they were off breaking up another brawl within the stadium.
Check out the video of the brawl above.
