Bad Case of Attitude

Football is a sport where sometimes the best talent doesn't guarantee you the most amount of wins. Character is required in order to get some wins in football.

Case in example is the BC Lions deciding to release Casey Printers this week after he ripped out his own teammate on the sidelines in their loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

There is no doubt Printers is the most talented QB BC had. But his attitude prevented the Lions from becoming winners this season. The difference from last season to this season for Printers was attitude. He started last year 5th on the depth chart and worked, and earned his number spot on the depth chart.

This season now with the number 1 job, Printers couldn't get the Lions rolling. And this late in the season after a big loss, it takes a big change for like BC to bounce back. And the quickest way to change the attitude of a team is get rid the player with the worst attitude on the team. And in BCs case it was Printers.
