For anyone who’s ever played on an athletic team, you know one thing: Locker room music matters. There’s nothing like playing that one song that the whole team loves to get them hype, but sometimes not everyone on the team is feeling those tunes.
A Maine basketball player got his jaw broken by a teammate over locker room music
Ouch.

According to the Bangor Daily News, two members of the University of Maine men’s basketball team got into it over the locker room aux.
Teammates had initially told officers that senior guard Marko Pirovic received his injuries by falling in the shower. However, when the officer realized that the story didn’t add up, the team had no choice but to come clean.
The police were later informed that junior guard Wes Myers was the one behind Pirovic’s injuries.
As to how?
[Pirovic] was listening to music and Myers asked him to turn it off. Pirovic refused and the pair started arguing and grabbing each other. Both threw punches and Myers struck Pirovic in the jaw, causing the injury.
Pirovic was taken by UVAC ambulance to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor and underwent a 2½-hour surgery to repair his jaw. It will be wired shut for six to eight weeks in order to heal.
In addition to being suspended because of the incident, Pirovic also has to deal with a broken jaw and some missing/messed up teeth. Myers, the team’s leading scorer, has been suspended indefinitely.
Ouch.
