Republican Josh Williams of Sylvania Township introduced a bill titled the “O.H.I.O Sportsmanship Act ” on Tuesday that proposes felony charges for anyone who plants a flag at midfield .

The bill comes less than two weeks after a midfield fight following Michigan ’s 13-10 win over Ohio State .

The move to file the bill is nothing short of grandstanding and likely has no chance of passing.

The easiest way to prevent an opposing team from planting its flag is to win the game.
