It wasn’t a pretty morning for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, as a video surfaced from TMZ showing wide receiver Chase Claypool’s involvement in a Southern California bar fight.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool was allegedly involved in a bar fight in Southern California on March 13.
In a video of the altercation obtained by TMZ, Claypool can be seen participating in the brawl outside the Wild Goose Tavern in Costa Mesa, California.
he fight reportedly began after someone threw dollar bills at a woman inside the establishment. That led to a disagreement, which eventually resulted in the ensuing melee.
While Claypool reportedly did not start the altercation, he can be seen initially pushing and shoving before pretty clearly kicking someone on the ground.
Police were eventually called, but both parties had apparently already left the scene once law enforcement arrived.
None of the combatants were arrested or charged with a crime, but it is unclear if the man Claypool kicked is preparing to take legal action.
