Bradley Beal is facing a lawsuit.
One fan is reportedly suing the Washington Wizards star for alleged battery and assault. The asking price in damages is $50,000.
ESPN’s David Purdum provided details on Wednesday.
“Plaintiff Kyler Briffa of Orange County, Florida, filed suit Tuesday in Florida’s 9th Circuit Court. The suit alleges that after the Wizards lost to the Orlando Magic at Amway Center, Beal was headed to the locker room when he reacted to a remark made by a friend of Briffa’s about losing a bet, turned around and hit Briffa on the side of his head, knocking his hat off. According to the police report on the incident, Briffa’s friend remarked to Beal, “You made me lose $1,300, you f—.”
“The suit alleges that during the confrontation, Beal told Briffa, “When you disrespect me, I’m going to press you about it. Do you think this is a joke, do you think this is a joke, do you think this is a joke, do you think this is a joke … because when I press you about it, what are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing?”
This is the dangerous part about sports betting. Money is involved and emotions are high, which can always lead to heated conversations. Sports is sports but it’s another thing when it becomes personal.
