Not smart: Harvard RB's obscene gesture costs team a TD

Devin Darrington was cruising into the end zone, and couldn't help himself.

It appeared the Harvard running back had given his team a 34-27 lead over rival Yale, but he was flagged for an unsportsmanlike penalty and the touchdown was taken off the board.

Why? He gave Yale defenders the middle finger.
