Press Herald Article About Football Teams Against Bullying Mentions Black Bears

The University of Maine football team was mentioned in the Press Herald article “Football programs working to rid Maine of bullying.” Jack Cosgrove, UMaine’s head football coach, said his team doesn’t differentiate between hazing and bullying, and hazing can “create a culture of unacceptable behavior” and “is a form of bullying.” Marcus Wasilewski, UMaine’s quarterback, said the violent and emotional nature of football can lead to confrontations between teammates, but it’s important not to let them escalate.
