They showed tape right before the game started and I saw Mora being restrained and was wondering what happened. I have never seen anything like this in sports do anything other than light a match under the opposing team.
It reminds me of my freshman year in high school watching the Fairfield Prep freshman football team play a middle school team in another town. I happened to know players on the other team including the player involved in the antics. I was on the sideline with the FP team (I was not on the team and never played football). The player in question was a LB on the other team who crossed the middle of the field and said, "we are going to kick your asses like they never been kicked before", and assorted other taunts and abusive comments. He crossed the field alone, and got within 30 feet of us. I think his number was 55. Anyway, I was shocked by the unprovoked provocation. Nobody on our side said anything to them. I then heard two of FP's offensive lineman, conferring on a play to run in 55's direction and coordinate a joint block on him. They then executed the play to perfection and he was down on the ground for a long time before he got up. FP went on to win the game which was a close contest. The team they played was pretty good and the freshmen on that team, when they became seniors at the town high school, went 11-0 and were State Champions. The FP team when they became seniors went 10-1 and were MBIAC Champions, their only loss coming to St. Joseph's which they avenged by beating St. Joseph's in the MBIAC Championship game.
