‘That’s football:’ Riders not fussed about in practice scrap
“That’s football.”
That’s the message from the Saskatchewan Roughriders after it came out that star receiver Duron Carter and defensive back Sam Williams got into a scrap during practice on Monday.
“(Fighting) is not something that we absolutely condone, but it’s going to be something that happens,” said head coach Chris Jones. “So if you’ve got a team that’s not willing to go after one another and play aggressive then you probably go the wrong guys.”
The news about the fight came out late Monday afternoon when Carter sent out a cryptic tweet that had fans concerned he had been released from the team and was saying goodbye.
