In a video which has gone viral, Johnson’s father, Mark and his brother, Anthony, can be seen going at it on the ground as other spectators try to separate them.

Kansas State lost with a final 24-21 score, despite their quarterback Johnson chalking up two touchdowns with 21 pass completions out of 30 attempts. After the fight ended, both Mark and Johnson put out a joint statement.
“We sincerely apologize for our actions following yesterday’s football game in Ireland. Senseless bickering escalated into an unnecessary fight. We have resolved out differences and take full responsibility for our actions. We have apologized to our immediate and extended family, and now extend our apologies to Kansas State University, its alumni, and fans. We regret this incident, have learned from it, and are committed to ensuring it doesn’t happen again. Please accept our deepest apologies.” Avery Johnson’s father and brother, Mark and Anthony, issued a joint statement.
“N*gga of the day” Antonio Brown tweeted in reaction to Mark and Anthony’s fight in Dublin.
