David Maraniss’ argument was
about the Packer vs. Seahawks on Monday, September 24, 2012. He describes his opinion on the final call of
the game, which was called a touchdown and an interception by two different
refs. He also describes how people may
have reacted a little too strongly towards the refs and did not realize that
football is just a game. Another thing
he touches on is the reaction of the head coach and quarterback of the other team.
I
completely disagree with David Maraniss’ opinion on the last call of the
game. Maraniss says that when Russell
Wilson said “tough call” in his post game interview that it was not a tough
call at all when it was probably the toughest call any of those refs have had
to make in their careers. The refs are
from Division III schools, so for them to all of a sudden come and ref NFL
football games is like playing middle school football and then going straight
to the NFL and not having a choice. Not
to mention that everyone around you hates every play you make. I do agree, however, on the part about how
football is just a game. This is a very
valid statement because that is actually what football is. I also don’t find his argument to be very
credible because of the fact that he is a Packer fan, which makes his argument
highly unconvincing.
I agree with your opinion with the call. The call was a tough one to make and would of been difficult to make for any ref. However I believe that football is more then a game, it is a part of American culture and is treated as so.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the call the refs made was a tough one, especially in their situation. However, when they made the same call after seeing the replay I thought that was crazy. Overall, I am just happy that it aided in getting the regular refs back.
