The boys weren’t the ones acting childish (như trẻ con, ngây ngô).

A Tennessee state representative (nghị sĩ bang) was ejected (tống ra, đuổi ra) from a high school boys basketball (bóng rổ) game for trying to pull down an official’s pants (quần) Tuesday night.

Rep. Jeremy Faison, 45, was watching his son play when he got upset with a call. He stormed (lao vào, xông vào) onto the court and argued with the ref, then grabbed the man’s pant leg, as shown in a video shared by the Tennessee Holler. The ref’s pants stayed tight around his waist. (The pants tug happens around the 0:20 mark)

The ref wanted to call the cops, but Faison was ejected and left without further incident, the Nashville Tennessean reported. Faison represents Tennessee’s 11th District, in the northeast part of the state, and has been the House Republican Caucus chair since 2019.

“I acted the fool tonight and lost my temper on a ref. I was wanting him to fight me. Totally lost my junk and got booted from the gym,” Faison wrote Tuesday night in a social media statement. “I hope to find the ref and ask for his forgiveness. I was bad wrong.”
