"On October 20, The Baltimore Sun 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 "recreational staples" from the Ravens' locker room. These included a basketball hoop, a ping pong table, a few corn hole boards, and some "video game consoles." The report doesn't specify which consoles."
"The outlet also says that these Super Smash sessions drew "small crowds of teammates late in the day." Ravens players told The Baltimore Sun that the football team's coaching staff wanted to "remove distractions" and help players focus more on playing, practicing, and, I assume, eventually winning. This isn't the first time the team has done this, either. In past seasons when the team struggled to win, so-called 'locker room freedoms' and benefits were scaled back or removed entirely."
The Baltimore Ravens started the season 1-5, tied for the franchise's worst mark in 30 years. After an early 1-3 start and a player posting teammates playing games on social media, coach John Harbaugh and team officials removed recreational staples from the locker room, including a basketball hoop, ping pong table, corn hole boards, and video game consoles. Players reportedly held intense Super Smash Bros sessions that drew small crowds late in the day. The coaching staff aimed to remove distractions and refocus players on playing and practicing. The team lost two more games after the removals.
