The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> haven\u2019t had a great season so far in the NFL. Their current record is an abysmal 1-5, tied for the team\u2019s worst in 30 years. And a new report claims the team\u2019s coach, John Harbaugh, is understandably not happy about this and has removed many fun items from the locker room, including the team\u2019s video games.<\/p>\n

On October 20, The Baltimore Sun<\/a> reported that after going 1-3 and a player posting a photo of them playing games to social media, team officials and Harbaugh removed several \u201crecreational staples\u201d from the Ravens\u2019 locker room. These included a basketball hoop, a ping pong table, a few corn hole boards, and some \u201cvideo game consoles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report doesn\u2019t specify which consoles, but it does mention that the team often played \u201cintense rounds\u201d of Super Smash Bros, so I\u2019d assume some Switch or Switch 2 systems were removed. The outlet also says that these Super Smash sessions drew \u201csmall crowds of teammates late in the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ravens players told The Baltimore Sun that the football team\u2019s coaching staff wanted to \u201cremove distractions\u201d and help players focus more on playing, practicing, and, I assume, eventually winning. This isn\u2019t the first time the team has done this, either. In past seasons when the team struggled to win, so-called \u201clocker room freedoms\u201d and benefits were scaled back or removed entirely. For players who need a break from having to focus and work all day, that can be tough. After all the fun toys and consoles were removed, the team lost two more games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Baltimore Ravens haven\u2019t had a great season so far in the NFL.
