Pittsburgh police launched an investigation after a video of a fight during the Steelers vs. Detroit Lions game at Heinz Field surfaced online, the Post-Gazette reported. The fight occurred on Saturday, and the video has since gone viral.
The graphic video showed a Black man and a white woman arguing in the stands. The verbal altercation escalated when the unidentified white woman hurled expletives at the man and slapped him in the face.
After screaming something unintelligible, the Becky told the young Black guy with locs to “get the f**k out!”
He responded as she raised her hand, “Don’t touch me.”
She smacked him across the face, and all hell broke loose.
The young brother, who was wearing glasses, justifiably let his hands do the talking. As he retaliated against the white woman, an unidentified white man jumped to the out-of-pocket woman’s defense. He pummeled them both. The white guy did get one punch in.
The video footage doesn’t detail what started the argument, but fans, who witnessed the brawl, made it clear that the Becky initiated the melee.
Pittsburgh police maintained they “are actively working with Heinz Field Security on the matter,” but no further details have been disclosed.
The Steelers told the publication that they are cooperating with police during the investigation.
“We are working with local authorities and Heinz Field staff to gather more information and identify the individuals involved. This kind of conduct is inexcusable, and we will respond accordingly once more information is obtained.”
Of course, Twitter users had their opinion of what went down and how it was handled.
Although it hasn’t been confirmed, one Twitter user wrote that the brawl started because the white woman was touching the man’s locs without permission.
It looks like the consensus was Becky’s mouth and hands wrote a check that she and her beau’s asses couldn’t cash.
And what have we learned today, kids?
