In the article entitle “Winning actually isn’t the only thing,” author David Maraniss contemplates the importance of winning in sports. His emotion for the article comes after seeing the infamous NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. Maraniss, a Packers fan, along with countless other NFL fans were in disbelief after seeing the call made by the “Replacement Referees” at the end of the game. He expresses his anger over the call, saying he couldn’t sleep and didn’t get over it for about 12 hours. After that time he realized it was just a football game and that winning isn’t the only thing, but he did say that his anger shifted to Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll and Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson.
