Avery Johnson’s brother and father, who were seen fighting after Kansas State’s 24-21 defeat to Iowa State in Dublin, have issued a statement.
We deeply regret what we did after yesterday’s football match in Ireland, the statement said, according to On3. A pointless argument turned into an unneeded altercation. We accept full responsibility for our actions and have put our disputes behind us.
We apologize to Kansas State University, its alumni, and its supporters after apologizing to our immediate and extended families. We are dedicated to making sure that this situation doesn’t occur again, and we regret it and have learned from it. We sincerely apologize about this.
