Before she released any information, several media members had reported Tabor and and teammate C’yontai Lewis had gotten into a fight. One outlet described the fight as ‘nasty’ and another claimed helmets were used as weapons and blood was drawn.
A few hours later, Merri Tabor appeared to confirm those stories. Tabor’s mother defended her son, claiming he had ‘no choice’ but to defend himself:
