Bad loser caught on video as water polo player shoves opponent back into pool instead of a traditional handshake Some unsportsmanlike behavior has attracted nearly 3 million views after it was uploaded to YouTube. After the Ft. Lauderdale High School St. Thomas Aquinas beat Miami's Belen-Jesuit School in the Florida State Water Polo Championship on April 27, the teams lined up to shake hands. But then one of the losers saw red and shoved one of his opponents back into the pool. Tempers then flared on both sides, pushing broke out and the teams had to be separated. Shove: One of the winners gets a push instead of a handshake after the Florida State Water Polo Championship on April 27 But no punches were thrown and no one else ended up in the drink. The Sun Sentinel reported that once they had a chance to calm down the players exchanged handshakes, hugs and apologies. St. Thomas Aquinas had beaten Belen-Jesuit 13-10 in what was apparently a heated and hard-fought game at Miami-Ransom Everglades. The Florida High School Athletic Association has banned the aggressor from the next two contests in any sport after his petulant push. It didn't find St. Thomas Aquinas guilty of any wrongdoing. But since the YouTube video of the incident was posted on May 1, the footage has had well over 2,900,000 hits. Splash: The player from Ft. Lauderdale high school St. Thomas Aquinas finds himself back in the pool - having just dried off Off-balance: There's nowhere else to go now The YouTube comments have varied between amusement and indignation. One poster called StellarChi said: It must have been awful to end up in a swimming pool with only a bathing suit on...horrible timing and discomfort. Another user known as wakemasta23 wrote: 'I'm not trying to condone this behavior in any way, but many of you don't know just how dirty of a sport water polo is. It is one of the most physical and intense sports out there and emotions get flying really high. 'Dirty play is very common considering the referees aren't able to see most of what goes on and because of this often games can get people really hot, especially when they feel cheated. So I can understand why someone would get so upset like this and push someone in the pool. Trouble averted: The players are separated after they start pushing each other
