A college football team weirdly got into it with the marching band of their opponents before a recent fixture.
Morgan State University won its first game in over two months when they played Norfolk State last Saturday. A video posted to Facebook shows Bears players brawling with the Spartans’ band in what has to be one of the most bizarre college football encounters in recent memory.
According to HBCU Gameday, the two parties clashed after a player was hit by a flagpole while they were passing each other under the stands. Pushing and shoving ensued before a player threw punches at a member of the band.
