Church Deacon, OU Fan Tears Scrotum Of UT Fan In Bar Fight
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Aggravated assault charges have been filed against a church deacon and University of Oklahoma Sooners fan after officials say he grabbed a University of Texas fan between the legs during a scuffle in an Oklahoma bar. A couple of months before the annual Red River Shootout between the Sooners and Longhorns, words were exchanged at Henry Hudson’s Pub between Allen Beckett, 53, and Brian Thomas. Witnesses said it was because Thomas was wearing a UT T-shirt. Neither Thomas or Beckett chose to comment, but the police report described what happened to the victim, including graphic details about his injuries that included a torn scrotal sack with partially exposed testicles.
Part of me wants to work in a job about how this might well have happened in a men’s room at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport…but that would be tacky and unworthy of me, right? Then again, there’s simply no way to do this sort of silliness justice. Yes, I understand that football is taken seriously in this part of the country, but getting your scrotum destroyed for the mortal crime of wearing a UT t-shirt into an Oklahoma bar? Admittedly, this probably wasn’t the smartest move that Brian “The Brain” Thomas had available, but this is still (nominally, at least) a free country.
Here’s my question, though: even if one is stupid and intolerant enough to start a bar fight over a t-shirt, what kind of man wins a fight by going for the scrotum? You’d think that a lucid human being (and a church deacon to boot) could find a better, and less permanently damaging, way to establish the dominance of OU football.
Boomer Sooner, eh??
