Former San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Kwame Harris will appear in San Mateo County Superior Court today on charges he assaulted his former boyfriend at a Menlo Park restaurant during an argument over soy sauce and underwear.

Harris, 30, is charged with felony counts of domestic violence causing great bodily injury and assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury in the Aug. 21, 2012 incident. He has pleaded not guilty but was held to answer after a preliminary hearing last fall. He is due back in court today for a pretrial conference to either settle the case or confirm a jury trial hearing.

The man, Dimitri Geier, is also suing Harris civilly for assault, battery, false imprisonment, negligence and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Harris and his alleged victim had been in a romantic relationship but were no longer involved when they met at Su Hong restaurant in Menlo Park, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.

Harris’ attorney Alin Cintean confirms the pair were previously involved but were just friends at that point.

Harris was to drive Geier to San Francisco International Airport but instead became upset when he poured soy sauce on a plate of rice, according to the suit filed in San Mateo County Superior Court.

The men argued for approximately seven minutes and Harris said he would no longer take Geier to the airport, the suit states.

As the men left to remove Geier’s belongings from Harris’ car so that he could instead take a cab, Harris tried pulling the other man’s pants down and accused him of stealing his underwear, according to the suit.

Geier unsuccessfully tried pushing Harris away but the bigger man shook him violently and punched him in the arms, the suit states.

I...got no comment.

My reaction was like your avatar.

[killxswitch]

Was it "How dare you pour soy sauce on my food" or "OMG how could you pothibly ruin that beautiful dish by thlathering it with thoy thauth? Thith ith why I dumped you, Dimitri. Thame on you."

[Abaddon]

And to think, all those times that 9er and Raider fans said he blocked like a sissy, they were actually being bigoted. lulz

[WCH]

It serves him right for pouring soy sauce on perfectly good rice. Also, I always hit people in the arm when I catch them stealing my underwear.

[Abaddon]

Gotta have soy on the rice, man. This could have all been avoided.

I didn't even know he was ***. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There isn't a more accepting place to be *** in the US, so not really.

It's rare to see an NFL player get outed active or retired. I'm sure there are *** players in the NFL but its frankly just not accepted so I can see why a guy wouldn't want to come out. Its honestly better for a guy like Teo to be labeled as a liar/sociopath than to be outright ***.

Not sure if football fans are huge anti-*** types but everyone in here acts like they've never known or seen a *** person before. It's 2013 people.

Glad we still care enough to talk about if someone is ***. As encouraging as CNN reporting that a porn star was hospitalized.

He was drafted. Didn't really have a say in what team he was going to.

Now playing at Stanford in the bay area was his choice.

stanford now that's a *** school

[Abaddon]

I kinda think he's more of a lying *** sociopath with some Norman Bates type tendencies.

[ChiFan24]

So besides how weird this story is....isn't he only like the second or third openly *** former NFL player? That's.......cool?

[ph90702]

He played in San Francisco. How fitting!

Was going to mention something in regards to his playing time in Oakland and the "Black Hole", since people we're bringing up his time spent in San Fran, but... I'll let it go.

I read that he hasn't been "open" at all.... has stayed in the closet. But as Greeny says, "that's neither here nor there."

This story would only be better if Chilo Rachal was the ex-boyfriend.

This thread is one giant facepalm.
