| A very bad example of sportsmanship. Former NFL VP of Officiating Mike Pereira said he would have ejected him after those 2 personal fouls. |
It's bad enough that emotions run high in this in-state rivalry and produce emotional over-reactions on both teams. But when one school literally endorses bad behavior - even cultivates it - it becomes a serious flaw that needs attention. I'm talking psychological attention, not just censure and/or suspension. It's almost a criminal matter. **Update: Click Here
Sure, there are those who say that the Wolverines are only sore losers and whine about whatever it is they can muster in childish defense. But if you watch how the Michigan Wolverines behaved on the field compared to the MSU Spartans, you can see why young athletes are going to line up with the "heroes" of their personal choice based upon what it is that inspires them to play in the first place.
Is it OK to needlessly twist an opposing players head by the facemask in an obvious attempt to inflict physical damage? That would be considered alright by MSU standards, just as it would be to those youngsters who have already served at WJ Maxey Boys School after pushing their Grandmother down the stairs in a wheelchair.
We don't have to mention that the Spartans had a week off to prepare for this contest. But they did not have to spend that time practicing to become goons. This was a tasteless example of unsportsmanlike conduct which is truthfully not the kind of "hero" image we want our youth to aspire to.
And for the record, though we knew those Nike "Pro" uniforms were going to be revealed at this particular game on purpose, we should not turn our heads on the workers who produced them in Asia, where they were beaten if management saw a "bad" attitude.
What goes around comes around. And this weekend I think the Spartans are going to receive something up the back door chute that they cannot prepare for this time.........
Proud to be a Wolverine.
