For the second straight season, the Tucson High grad was ejected from an Indoor Football League game after a physical confrontation during a play.
Justin Spears Antonio Rosales has a — let’s just say chippy — mindset any time the Tucson native steps on the football field.
The bellicose approach to the game “came back to haunt him” in the Sugar Skulls’ loss last week to the Frisco Fighters, according to Wooten. “Last year, it was Rosales’ fault big time. He did something that you’re never supposed to do in football. He just lost it and hit the ref, and he paid the price for it,” Wooten said. “This year is a little different. When you go on the road and you’re watching their TV broadcast, you’re going to hear a whole different story than what the proof shows.”
Controlling Rosales’ on-field temper was an essential task for Wooten and the Tucson native this season, which worked until Williams allegedly spit on Rosales’ face in the skirmish. “From the beginning, that guy was picking on Rosales from the get-go, so you know they picked that out,” Wooten said. “At the end of the day, it’s hard for someone to spit in your face and you stay calm. … Unfortunately, when your past is your past, you have no room for error.”
