College football is known for its intense rivalries, and Oregon Ducks and Oregon Beavers have a history of intense rivalry. The rivalry took an ugly turn in a recent match when Ducks’ LB DJ Johnson couldn’t control his anger and decided to throw his hands at a random fan after losing to Beavers.

The Ducks lost to the Beavers in a tightly contested game that was one-sided most of the time as the Ducks lost a 17-point lead and later lost the game 38-34.

Tensions arose when Johnson was leaving the turf after the game and a Beavers fan allegedly decided to shake his hand or wave at him. This resulted in him getting punched on the back of his head before the Ducks LB was hauled backward.

The incident happened due to frustration and it could have been avoided. Johnson must have felt agitated by the actions of the fan and must have felt that he was provoked.

Though there is no excuse for violence and the LB will have to deal with the repercussions if there will be any. Neither Oregon University nor Johnson has released a statement as of yet regarding the issue.

The video went instantly viral on social media and Johnson was met with lots of hate and criticism. Some even demanded that the Ducks LB should get arrested for assault.
