Admirable: Penn Sprint Football Deliberately Loses to Army Out of Respect

It’s rare in this day and age to see an act of kindness as selfless as the one that took place this past Saturday. Perhaps out of regret for their actions last year, Penn’s Sprint Football team deliberately took a loss to the Army at home in what appeared to be a close game. The team certainly did sell their performance, coming back from a 17 point deficit to turn the match into a two score game at 24-14. At that point, the team “accidentally” missed several key plays to secure the win for Army. Talk about integrity!

Under the Button applauds Sprint Football for their acting performance this Saturday and athletic performance so far this season. Keep up the good work, boys.
