A drunken airport quarrel turned into fisticuffs when a highly intoxicated man donning a Texas A&M shirt began to verbally abuse another man in New Orleans.

The video of the respective ordeal, which has gone viral, shows a drunk individual taunting an African-American man. According to Secrant, the Aggies fan became enraged at the ticket counter attendant and began emptying the contents of his trail mix bag onto the counter, and then refused to clean it up. The other man, who overheard the dilemma, then took a stand for the airline employee and tried his best to keep the drunken fan calm.

However, the fan then redirected his anger out on the man. According to the reports, he started making derogatory remarks to the African-American, which included an equally insulting comment about picking cotton.

The footage of the incident shows the football fan going toward the African-American male as he removes his jacket and prepares to defend himself. Witnesses in the airport can be heard screaming in the background with one woman querying, "Where's security?"

Other travelers eventually stepped in to separate the two and put a halt to the fight. Soon after, a cop arrived on a Segway. The policeman then pulled the Texas A&M fan aside and questioned him about the tiff. The drunken man apparently tried to blame the other man for starting the fight, but the video clip clearly reveals otherwise.

The African-American involved in the quarrel was allowed to board his flight and received several cheers while doing so. However, the drunken fan was kept off.

The intoxicated individual was sporting a Johnny Football shirt paying homage to Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel. On Saturday, the quarterback led the Aggies to their biggest victory of the season against the previously undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide.
