A goodwill game between Georgetown University and China’s Bayi Rockets turned violent yesterday, moments after Carl Douglas’ hit song Kung Fu Fighting was accidentally played over the PA system.
“When the music started, everyone just froze in their tracks and started punching each other,” explained American spectator Alex Lamperti. “It was f*cking awesome!”
Highlights of the fracas have spread across YouTube, and in less than 24 hours the melee had been viewed by over 19 million people, making it the most-watched NCAA basketball game in history.
“Our athletic director just called me to say he’s thrilled with the ratings,” remarked Georgetown coach John Thompson III. “He’s currently working out a deal for us to fight the Russians on pay-per-view.”
