Out of control basketbrawl: Chinese basketball team attacks Georgetown

MITCH BLATT

Players from the Chinese Bayi Military Rockets attacked the Georgetown Hoyas while playing an exhibition in China. This is almost worse than the Fight at the Palace, although it involves players, not fans. Below, watch the China-Georgetown fight:

Fans also threw plastic bottles at the Hoyas as they left the court.

The reaction by Chinese officials was swift:
Local government memo: Don’t report on the basketball fight
Videos of fight deleted from Youku
Sina Weibo (micro blog) tweets blocked

Popularity: 8% [?]
