No self-control. Of course, this is why both teams have losing records.
You cannot win when you don't have enough discipline to avoid this type of stupidity.
The players involved should be dismissed from their respective teams. The coaches should have handled that long before the conference did. There is no place for this type of behavior in sport.
I'm going throw hands if x, y, or z happens? I'm defending my teammate? Those are the weakest arguments. That's jungle mentality, and it is fine in war. But this ain't war.
A real man keeps his cool, says all right, and moves on to the next play, the next game, the next season.
That is the lesson that needs to be taught here. We shouldn't have to bring Robe back from the dead to explain that to those involved.
