This clip will no doubt go viral and showcase for our young and impressionable an example of bad sportsmanship at its worst:
Two high school athletes took the term ‘fight to the finish’ literally when they sparked a mass brawl during a relay race in New York City.
The athletes from Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn and Mount Vernon High School in suburban Westchester County were competing in the Hispanic Games last weekend.
As the two unnamed players came into the home straight to exchange their batons, they got tangled up together and ended up both running off the track.
Punches began to fly and in seconds, the rest of their respective teams joined in the fight.
The row took place during a heat for the relay race at the Hispanic Games, one of the largest track meets in the nation.
Some 6,000 high school athletes from 300 schools attended the meet at the Armory Track in Harlem.
