Journal #1: Maybe Winning Is Most Important!
David Maraniss argues in his article “Winning Actually Isn’t the Only Thing” that members of Seahawks team acted rudely about the game conclusion last Monday. Although Maraniss makes it clear that his loyalty is still to his team, the Packers, he debates both sides of the story fairly in the case that the outcome would have been reversed, giving the Packers the advantage. Maraniss’ main point was to draw attention to the ill-mannered actions of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson following the final play of the game. He argues that the two men acted arrogantly and as if they had deserved the win fair and square. Maraniss believes that if the roles had been reversed, you would not have seen Mike McCarthy, Packers head coach, ranting around with his arms in the air signaling a touchdown as Pete Carroll did or one of our players acting deserving of such a win.
