Arizona State Discus Thrower Destroys NCAA Over Anti-Fun Rules After Nearly Losing National Title For Ripping Off Shirt
Arizona State thrower Turner Washington went out on top in the discus on Friday night and proceeded to eviscerate the NCAA on live television. It was a tremendous performance to end the final event of his final season.
Washington, a Tucson, Ariz.-native, began his track and field collegiate career in his hometown. He attended the University of Arizona as a freshman in 2017/18 before doing the unthinkable.
After one year with one in-state rival, Washington transferred to Arizona State. GASP!
What was the Wildcats' loss was the Sun Devils' gain. Washington had a remarkable career and won five national titles* in two different events.
Turner Washington is an electric factory.
He went out on top on the final throw of his career.
To celebrate the national title, Washington ripped off his shirt, kicked off his shoes and celebrated amongst his family, friends and coaches in the crowd.
It was glorious, but there is a lot of irony in the NCAA's official Twitter account sharing the video.
The NCAA almost took Washington's title away for excessive celebration. Fortunately, he only received a warning.
When asked about the celebration and potential penalty, Washington did not hold back and torched the NCAA over its anti-fun rules. Are you not entertained?!
His electric interviews did not end there.
Washington was runner-up in the shot up by two centimeters. He doesn't even know how long two centimeters is!
To celebrate, following the meet so that he didn't get his title revoked, Washington celebrated by giving his girlfriend a smooch, shaking his coach's hand and peeing in a cup. He's all natural!
Long live Turner Washington!
