Take a flag, get punched in the face




An overzealous Redskins fan has learned a valuable lesson, don't mess with Cowboys gear; and if you do, expect payback. On Tuesday evening someone grabbed the Cowboys flag off a car that was stopped in traffic and threw the flag to the ground.


Thankfully someone in the car jumped out and punched the flag-grabber in the face before he was able to get across the street.






From the Washington Post:


"Police said a man was punched in the face after grabbing a Dallas Cowboys flag from a car in downtown Washington. D.C. police Lt. Eric Hayes said someone snatched the flag from a car as it was stopped in traffic Tuesday evening and apparently threw it to the ground.
Police and witnesses said that by the time the man crossed the street, someone exited the car and struck him in the face before driving away.
Police said the incident may have been motivated by team loyalty, or the motorist might not have wanted anyone to touch his car.
Police said a man was taken from the scene to be treated for a bruised forehead."
