Brickbat: Unsportsmanlike Behavior

Tennessee state Rep. Jeremy Faison has apologized for rushing the court at a high school basketball game and trying to pants a referee. Faison, chair of the state House Republican Caucus, was ejected from the game. Faison, whose son plays for one of the teams that was competing, said he lost his temper. He did not say why he lost his temper, but video of the event shows that just before he argued with the ref, players were trying to get a loose ball and refs called penalties against two of those players for unsportsmanlike behavior.

That video will be his next opponent's main ad next election.
Or, he could get ahead of this and make it his OWN ad.

Gotta admit, I might actually enjoy a debate more if there was an off chance one of them was going to sneak up behind the other and pull their pants down.

The man is clearly an idiot, but that really isn't the question. Who but idiots would elect such an idiot to a more influential position than hall monitor for a unisex bathroom?
Did that ref not know he was dealing with one of his betters? LEARN YOUR PLACE.
Just like we do with you Fist.
YOU BETTER
Sportsball brings out the best in beta fan behavior.
Yeah. Real men blindside their neighbors over lawn care.
They call the code enforcement officer or contact the grounds committee of the HOA. Maybe the male version of Karen should be called Tony.
Brickbats certainly has changed - - - - - - - -
I'm certainly reminded of another brouhaha that erupted over a HS basketball game related to us by a Reason donor that was deemed 'too local' to cover. A state rep. tried to pants a referee? GTFO!
This is not a brickbat, you stupid fool.
They're lucky he didn't shoot the referees. That looter's party platform is *dedicated* to armed union goons protected by qualified immunity.
"so I'm going to get his pants" was the decision?
