A football game between East Mississippi Community College (EMCC) and Mississippi Delta was called off Thursday after an ugly brawl, with EMCC up 48-0 just before halftime.
A Columbus, MS reporter was live-tweeting the debacle:
Both benches have cleared and the fight is on

Trash cans being thrown, players running wildly all over the field … This has gone on for five minutes

Lack of security controlling this situation is amazing

Players are finally back at both benches and a handful of law enforcement is on the field at midfield

The game has been called due to "violent ejections" for both teams

From a personal standpoint … Kudos to the Delta linebacker who threw a garbage can 20 yards in the air … Easily enough for a first down
