- Jeremy Faison was ejected from son’s basketball game
- ‘Emotions getting in way of rational thoughts are never good’
A high-ranking Tennessee Republican lawmaker has apologized after he was ejected from a high school basketball game after a confrontation with a referee. The dustup included what appeared to be a failed attempt at pulling down the official’s pants, according to video footage.
On Tuesday, Jeremy Faison, a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, posted on Twitter that he “acted the fool tonight and lost my temper on a ref.”
