The father and older brother of Kansas State’s starting quarterback Avery Johnson were seen fighting each other in a Dublin parking lot after a defeat to Iowa State.
The ugly scenes where the two family members are seen rolling around the wet Irish parking lot were captured and posted on social media within minutes.
There have been reportedly no arrests, and neither Avery Johnson or his family have not commented on the brawl.
The Wildcats lost 24-21 to Iowa State in a match that was part of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic, a special college football game played in Ireland.
Despite the Wildcats defeat Johnson had an impressive game going 21 of 30 through the air for 273 yards, which included two touchdown passes. He also rushed 21 yards for a touchdown himself.
Kansas’ defeat could mean they fall out of the Top 25 in the AP Poll, which not help them in the race for the Big 12 or the College Football Playoff.
Ireland has always had a strong link with college football over the years and this “Farmageddon” rivalry was the fourth consecutive season, and the fifth season overall, that the Aer Lingus College Football Classic was played in the country.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Big 12 Conference to play one of its classic rivalries on a global stage while showcasing our University and its football program,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said in the 2024 statement.
