In a game like a football, you need to be strong, or the other players on the field will walk over you. But of course, a player should always show sportsmanlike conduct. They should only be tough while playing the game. The Vikings’ Eric Kendricks took this to another level. He showed the Bears quarterback Justin Fields how hard his helmet is.
