Selfish Penalties

Football was meant to be a team game, but there are too many selfish players who do things to hurt their team. The NFL and college games have too many unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that effect the outcome.

While watching the Chiefs and Giants today, a head-butting penalty stalled a drive. There was no need for that, but the player felt they had to make a point.

I have witnessed numerous selfish penalties committed by UMass players. They feel like they are making a statement, but they are only hurting their team.
