Renowned for his straightforward approach on the sidelines since the inaugural match of Baller League this year, Angry Ginge found himself restrained by stewards during a large-scale brawl.

Tensions escalated as members of the respective teams began confronting each other, with Angry Ginge also attempting to join the fray. However, the social media star was held back by security as the incident fizzled out, with PK Humble trying to maintain calm amidst the turmoil.
