From the Daily Californian:

UC Berkeley senior and linebacker Chris Purtz, 21, went early Sunday morning with a friend to the Lusty Lady adult club, where employees said he shoved a worker and used racist and homophobic slurs.

Club employees described Purtz as intoxicated and said he identified himself as a Cal football player.

At the club, Purtz entered a video pornography booth while his friend, who identified himself as Purtz’s agent, demanded prostitutes for the two men, according to Dee Timmons, an employee at Lusty Lady who said he let the men into the club.

Purtz does not have an agent, said Cal Athletics spokesperson John Sudsbury.

Timmons said Purtz and his friend started calling him “nigger” and “faggot.” Two other club employees corroborated this account with The Daily Californian.

Ugh.

Anyone else remember the announcers talking about Berkeley’s high admissions standards during the game last week? Um, yeah.
