WATCH: Basketball fan gets thrown out of an arena for pouring beer on a player's face

Thornton was seen sliding off the court, before the fan poured beer from his can onto the American. Somehow, the 22-year-old was able to control himself and not react to the idiotic fan.

Last night the former IFA General Secretary said he wants half of his €2 million to go to charity.
Sean Brosnan, chair of Kerry IFA, told Newstalk Breakfast the move looks like a cynical PR stunt by Smith:
"This is going to go to a legal team, more than likely. There is employment law out there, so I expect that Pat Smith will be entitled to some money so we can't do anything with that money until after that."
