One can step aside to protect NFL marketability before a bowl game and get no shade for it.
One can also choose to play for a team and get the added gratitude from fans that comes from the sacrifice.
But Ward played the first half to help achieve a personal goal, and then he walked away mid game.
He took away another player’s chance to make a name for himself in the first half.
He took away practice time from the team to get another QB ready.
He undermined whatever morale is present on that team.
He manipulated the situation for his own benefit at the expense of his teammates and his coach can’t say a thing about it or he he feels that it will not be able to recruit more players…….(I have NO sympathy for the coach who contributed to this problem on his team).
All in or all out - no problem. Half in for self - big problem.
