Not sure if this belongs on the main page or Off-topic. I mean, it is about college sports...
Anyway, regardless of where it belongs, you all need to see this.

This is a play from a Japanese College Football game (I had no idea college football was a thing in Japan... but ok). The QB is badly hurt and will be out for several weeks. This is one of the most blatant late hits I have ever seen. There is no way it is anything but intentional. But, the big scandal is this... the player who made the hit claims his coach told him to injure the QB (https://deadspin.com/japanese-college-football-world-rocked-after-player-rev-1826233548).
Miyagawa addressed the national press and said that Uchida ordered him, through an assistant coach, to injure the opposing quarterback in order to prove that he cared enough about football to stay on the team. “After the practice (on May 5), [assistant coach Tsumotu] Inoue said to me, ‘I asked head coach what you would need to do to play in the game, he said if you squash the quarterback on the first play, we would let you play. So go tell him ‘I’ll squash the quarterback, so use me,’” Miyagawa recalled, later clarifying that the he understood the staff wanted him to knock Okuno out of the game.
