B.C.-born NCAA basketball player confronts fan after allegedly being called a 'terrorist'

A B.C.-born basketball player at the University of California Berkeley went into the stands Monday to confront a fan who allegedly called him a terrorist.

Following Cal's loss to UTEP on Monday in the SoCal Challenge held in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., head coach Mark Madsen said in a statement that Fardaws Aimaq "was allegedly subjected to abhorrent and offensive comments from a fan — including being called a terrorist." 

"I am disturbed that Fardaws was allegedly on the receiving end of such language and I'm disappointed he confronted this fan in the stands," Madsen said.

A video posted on X, formerly Twitter, shows Aimaq approaching a fan in the bleachers. Aimaq can be heard saying, "You wanna talk?" before leaning toward the man and pointing. The confrontation lasts less than 10 seconds.
