Calls Mount for Texas to Ban Fan Who Flipped off Florida Players After Loss
Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to flip the bird unless you’re a winner? It’s called manners… and common sense.
Texas athletic officials are under pressure to ban a fan who flipped off opposing Florida players following the Longhorns' 27-24 defeat on Saturday. The fan, whose access pass was spotted on his belt, appeared to set himself up for ridicule by confronting the Gators after his team's loss. "Kid has an access pass on his belt which means someone authorized him – meaning he's easy to identify," commented Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz, urging Texas AD Chris Del Conte to take action.
The fan's act of defiance was widely condemned, with one commenter labeling him a "tool" for mocking the Gators after their team lost twice in a row. Despite the backlash, there is uncertainty about what consequences the fan will face.
