It’s always hard to watch sporting events at the youth level get ugly, but what happened at a recent AAU game was one of the worst sequence of eveents we’ve ever seen.
A Georgia tournament game in Emerson, Georgia, involving the Houston Raptors and Chicago’s R.A.W. Athletic. The Gatorade Association Presents the Finals game was a normal, physical game, until it wasn’t.
It’s unclear what sparked the brawl, but you can see clips of it below. Both players and refs were throwing punches.
