Defenders fans retaliated after the decision from stadium staff.
Fans at Sunday night’s XFL game in Washington between the D.C. Defenders and Seattle Sea Dragons were not pleased when security took away their beer snake. After security confiscated the coalition of cups at Audi Field in D.C., fans responded in bizarre fashion—by launching lemons onto the field. 
Exactly where the lemons came from remains unclear, but the disgruntled Defenders supporters didn’t hold back while pelting the fruits onto the playing field as they booed security.

Wherever Deion Sanders goes, opinions are sure to follow. That has certainly been the case in Coach Prime’s first few months at Colorado.

The Mavericks star pulled off an impressive feat on Saturday.
The NBA All-Star weekend gave the league’s stars a chance to relax before hitting the end stretch of the season, but at least one star still had his competitive juices flowing.

Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta loves him some Mardi Gras and apparently Victor Wembanyama, too.
Fertitta professed his love for Wembanyama, a French big man and surefire top pick in June’s NBA draft, over the weekend.
Houston radio’s Sean Pendergast caught up with Fertitta during a Mardi Gras celebration to talk hoops and…prayers.
“We gotta thank God we got 10 days off,” a seemingly well-within his cups Feritta said, referencing the NBA’s All-Star break.
The comment made it clear that Fertitta isn’t exactly enjoying the season. Houston is an NBA-worst 13-45.
