| Packers vs. Sehawks:Winning touchdown a debatable call? |
The main argument of the paper wasn’t that the refs made a terrible call but the dissapointing reaction of the winning coach and quarterback knowing the call was false. David Maraniss states that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson’s reactions were disappointing and repelling. The fact that the call will never change will leave a slight impact for a while, but the actions shown by the coach and QB will leave a lasting imprint on their personalities.
I saw the game and completely agree with Maraniss. They didn’t have to act like there was no doubt in their mind that it was the right call. There is a certain respect that should be shown in these situations. The right thing to do is to accept the win and not brag that the call was correct. In fact the video footage proving the bad call makes Carroll and Wilson look stupid and ignorant. To believe that winning is everything puts sham on the game of football and sports in general. There is always a loser to every game and more respect should be shown for the situation than there was.

I think that was a really good response to the article. I completely agree with what you are saying and the key points you made matched the one that i found in the article.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with what you are saying about Carroll and Wilson having any doubt about whether or not that the right call was made. I am sure that had the call gone the other way they would of been completely different people.
