The championship game took place on August 14, but was canceled shortly after the altercation began.

Organizers said this is the first year the event saw trouble, according to CBS Chicago.

West Haven Safe Summer Basketball League’s website contains a quote from the Near West Side CDC executive director, Earnest Gates:

“This is the fifth incident-free year. Not even an argument takes place during these games.”

The banner page further claims it is the sixth year incident free, but, contesting the perfect record, the Chicago Sun-Times reported there were reports of fights at most of the games this year.
