Talk about a mouthful of a headline.
Bad fan behavior has been the norm since fans started coming back to live sporting events. One fan, who also happens to be a public figure, took bad behavior to a whole new level on Monday Night.
Tennessee state representative Jeremy Faison was kicked out of a high school basketball game after threatening to fight a referee. He also attempted to take the Ref’s pants off.
Jeremy Faison is the state Republican caucus chair of Tennessee.
Watch below:

Faison took to Twitter to apologize for the incident, saying he, “acted the fool” during the incident and hopes to make it right.
I acted the fool tonight.
I’m hoping to be able to make it right. pic.twitter.com/W8PINvTue5— Rep. Jeremy Faison (@JeremyFaison4TN) January 5, 2022
Faison’s full statement:
“Unfortunately, I acted the fool tonight and lost my temper on a ref. I was wanting him to fight me. Totally lost my junk and got booted from the gym. I’ve never really lost my temper but I did tonight and it was completely stupid of me. Emotions getting in the way of rational thoughts are never good. I hope to be able to find the ref and ask for his forgiveness. I was bad wrong.”
This guy should never be allowed near a ref ever again.
Restraining order that fool.
