Ex-NFL star charged with assaulting ex-boyfriend after soy sauce spat

Monday's news that former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Kwame Harris was charged for allegedly assaulting an ex-boyfriend "during an argument over soy sauce and underwear" last August was striking on different levels. First, there's the matter of Harris, who last played in the NFL during the 2008 season, being publicly outed as gay.

Second, there are the details of the lame-sounding argument — Harris allegedly became upset that his ex poured soy sauce on his rice at a Chinese restaurant, which escalated into Harris refusing to take the man to the airport and then accusing him of stealing Harris' underwear. Those tensions allegedly led into Harris pummeling the ex. Harris' lawyer confirmed the two were previously involved, but not at the time of the incident. [Source]
