The football team at three rivers high school wanted to steal the mascot of the opposing team before the big homecoming game. even though the captain of the football team knew the players would likely be caught and suspended by the principal, he agreed to steal the mascot. why did the captain of the team agree to steal the mascot?

The groupthink of the football team made him ignore the consequences of their actions in order to go along with the group consensus.

Explanation:

Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when a group of people is so concerned with maintaining harmony or conformity that they engage in irrational behaviour. This is the case with the captain of the football team, as he knows that their behaviour will lead to negative consequences, but he does not want to go against the group consensus. This is a common strategy used to minimize conflict in groups where harmony is very important.
