Mayfield's Jersey Slip Up: A Loss for Sportsmanship? The optics of Baker Mayfield donning a Michigan practice jersey during his weekly news conference were awkward.
The decision, reportedly made as part of a friendly wager with head coach Todd Bowles, has garnered significant attention and raises questions about the commercialization of sportsmanship.
Mayfield's team suffered a painful 17 10 loss to the Michigan Wolverines last week, a defeat that likely stung him personally as well as professionally.
