Former Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale just wanted some peanuts.
He and his son sat through two quarters of Thursday’s Peach Bowl in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, watching his alma mater, Pittsburgh, battle Michigan State and seeing ads for Georgia’s state crop.
So when the third quarter rolled around, and the Panthers were nursing a 14-10 lead, DePasquale left his seat in search of peanuts. He checked every stand he came to on the concourse, looking past the hot dogs and nachos for that elusive bag of shelled goodness.
DePasquale, who lives in York County, was reading a menu board when he heard shouting. He said one man was telling another “you don’t want a piece of this.” The second man, wearing a Pitt shirt, replied with the warning that he would “(expletive) kill him.”
There were dozens of people standing around. A couple of them tried to intervene.
We know this because there is a video of the exchange. Two minutes of yelling, a few punches, one woman falling to the floor after being struck and no signs of security.
That video has been viewed more than eight million times on Twitter.

A former Pitt head coach used to live up the street from me - Carl DePasqua. Close on the spelling. Interestingly, he sent his kid to play for Joe at PSU.
I watched the video and read his comments.
He said no one tried to help stop the fight.
Not true.
He said no one called for security.
Not true.
Looks like he fell on the downed woman to protect her.
The Pitt guy’s team sux, but he’s tough.
That defense won't stand up in court. No mean's no and she couldn't give consent. /s
The guy couldn’t find any peanuts in the stadium because the guy in the gray shirt ate them all.
Trying really hard to care what happens to this leftwing cuck. Failing miserably.
She didn’t get hit. I saw fatties everywhere, she tumbled over as the guy came after the other guy. White Knights flooded in from everywhere, including one Goodyear blimp.
Nobody needed -anything- from the food court.
