NFL VS. NBA -- BEAT DOWN AT DA CLUB
Jo-Lonn Dunbar VS. Donte Greene
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Jo-Lonn Dunbar and Donte Greene were arrested outside of Dream Nightclub early Sunday morning on charges of battery and disorderly conduct after getting in a physical altercation while exiting the club.
Dunbar is a six-year veteran of the National Football League and currently plays for the St. Louis Rams. Greene is a former first-round draft pick who is trying to make a comeback into the NBA after playing out of the league for the last two seasons.
According to the Miami Beach Police Department the two men were arguing as they exited Dream Nightclub at approximately 5:20 A.M. Club security tried to keep Dunbar and Greene apart and one of the players started walking away with a group of friends as a couple Miami Beach Police Officers in full uniforms stood by.
The verbal insults continued and security was unable to hold back the group that stayed by the club exit. The group chased down the others and a large scale brawl ensued that had several of the people involved exchanging punches.
Ignoring orders from police to stop, Greene came up behind Dunbar and started punching him in the head and neck area. Greene was told by police that if he didn’t stop an officer would use his Taser, but ignored the warning.
An officer then proceeded to fire his Taser at Greene , striking him in the lower back and buttocks. Police said after the others saw Greene hit by the Taser, the fight quickly ended.
According to Miami Beach P.D., Greene later apologized for his actions, saying “I’m sorry officer but this guy [Dunbar] has been after me for years since I got into the NBA. He was beating my brother and I had to do what I did.” Dunbar claimed that he was just defending himself.
The Rams released the following statement when reached for comment:
“We are aware of alleged incident involving JoLonn Dunbar and are still gathering information. Per team policy, we will have no further comment until the matter is resolved.”

Naturally, the NBA dude is more likely to be in the right than the NFL dude. Still, I pity both the fools -- risking their lucrative opportunities over idiotic brawls.
