Spencer Brown, the offensive tackle for the Michigan State Spartans, is under a lot of criticism for his violent move in their recent match. The match that took place between the Spartans and the Michigan State Wolverines has garnered a lot of controversy for the player’s antics on 22nd October.

The match ended terribly for the Spartans as they lost by a staggering score of 49-0. With absolutely no points on their scoreboard, it’s probable that the players got a little too frustrated. But unfortunately for Spencer Brown, his frustration came out in the worst way possible, demanding criticism from football audiences all around.

During the match between the Spartans and the Wolverines, a tussle between the players occurred. But as things started to settle a bit, Spencer Brown ended up fouling the back of Braiden McGregor’s head. There was no intention of tackling but only violent transgressions as McGregor remained on the field severely injured.

JPA Football highlighted the same on their X account, captioning the video writing, “Horrible stuff here from Michigan State’s Spencer Brown….Suspension coming.” It reflected a clear sign of displeasure toward the act done by Brown, further commending his foul by saying, “Can’t be doing this.”

One of the most revolting plays in this season so far, and the football world couldn’t help but wonder what the point of such a brutal action was. Brown was later ejected from the game on the grounds of a flagrant hit as the fans expressed their utter disappointment.

A fan expressed his disgust on platform X, formerly known as Twitter, by saying, “Just what the hell is going on with that program!!! Not a good day in any form or fashion. Should be ashamed.” Further, Brown’s aggression was also followed by a disappointing loss for his team.

With the ejection of Brown, it didn’t help make things better for their team as they sat on a score of zero throughout. Furthermore, the Wolverines managed to take a 42-point lead and from there onwards, all hopes of a win were taken away from the Spartans. The Spartans and the Wolverines have been involved in a heated rivalry for the past 2 seasons and it finally erupted during their collision yesterday.

This match will undoubtedly set a bad precedent for the team for the next few games to come. The Spartans will face off against the Minnesota team on 29th October and the fans can only hope that there be no other fragrant fouling. As far as the matter of Spencer Brown is considered, he will need to improve his mentality towards the game and not fall prey to aggression as it can ruin the quality of the sport.
