Kansas’s state -owned marshal, Avery Johnson, the father and brother issued an apology after the video of the two men fighting in Ireland became viral on social networks.
The Wildcats K-State lost 24-21 to the cyclones of the Iowa state in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin on Saturday, and not long after, Mark and Anthony Johnson were caught fighting the camera.
The video that circulates on social networks shows the two men on the ground wrapped in a physical altercation as the spectators try to separate them. Men finally go their own paths.
It is not clear why men were fighting.
In a joint statement issued to the University Sports site in 3 on Sunday, Mark and Anthony Johnson said that “they are sincerely apologized” for their actions after Saturday’s game.
“The meaningless disputes became an unnecessary fight,” said the statement. “We have resolved our differences and assume all the responsibility of our actions. We have apologized to our immediate and extended family, and now we extend our apologies to the Kansas State University, its alumni and fans.”
Johnson’s men said they regret the incident, “they have learned from him and are committed to guaranteeing that he does not happen again.”
NBC News has communicated with Mark, Anthony and Avery Johnson to comment.
Avery Johnson, from Wichita, is Junior at Kansas State University. He has been playing for the University Soccer team for three seasons.
The next game of the Kansas state is Saturday against the North Dakota Fighting Fighting Hawks.
