Amateur video from the game posted
They would get some extra games and practices in during a time of year they normally wouldn't have such structure, and in the process, they would get a chance to learn about another culture. Sounded really good in theory.
Amateur video from the game posted on multiple websites showed the players from Chinese side Bayi Military Rockets -- a team made up of players who serve in the Chinese army -- storming the court and brawling with Hoyas players.Needless to say, Thompson pulled his team from the floor.
A foul-plagued game -- with many more called on Georgetown (28 to 11), though that in itself isn't a shock -- turned ugly during a loose-ball collision in the fourth quarter. Fans even came on the court during the fight, leaving the Americans outnumbered.The Georgetown Hoyas went to China this week intent on building team camaraderie for the coming season. Thompson told reporters his team will continue with its trip. But no way coach John Thompson III expected his team to get involved in a scary brawl against a Chinese professional team during an exhibition game Thursday in Beijing.
At one point a Rockets player is seen wielding a chair as a weapon and several Georgetown players were knocked to the ground and beaten. But you have to wonder how common these trips will be in the future. Georgetown's exhibition game the night before was attended by Vice President Joe Biden and State Department officials, who were on a simultaneous goodwill/economic mission of their own in aluminum display
China.The fracas started with a shoving match between Hoyas guard Jason Clark -- an O'Connell High grad -- and an unidentified Bayi player. According to the Washington Post's Gene Wang, who is covering the trip in person, Georgetown players, staff and even alumni and fans in attendance had to dodge water bottles and debris thrown at them from the stands as they departed. But his players have already learned one lesson they'll never forget. The benefits of experiencing another culture aren't worth exposing young college players to hostilities -- especially if there are always lingering tensions between the United States and the host country.
