An annoyed pilot was forced to turn back and ground his flight on Friday night after two Auburn Tigers basketball players began fighting in the air during a trip to Houston.
The fight was reportedly started by reserves Jahki Howard and Ja’Heim Hudson, though it wasn’t allowed to escalate into anything too serious.
Still, according to ESPN, flight personnel chose to head back to their takeoff point, with a replacement flight leaving for Houston much later. The aforementioned players did not travel with the team.
You can hear audio of the pilot relaying his annoyance in the clip below:
“Yeah don’t bring that crap here to Houston, we have enough problems 😂😅😭😭😭😭,” a fan joked.
