Winning.. is it Everything?

               David Maraniss' argument is an interesting one. I think that it is one that is not too often seen from not just Green Bay Packer fans or even football fans, but anyone who is interested in professional sports, and has a favorite team. His argument to me feels very much so like a "put yourself in their shoes" type.
He tries analyze his feelings for the Packer v. Seattle game and questions whether or not he would feel the same if the circumstances of the game were different. 
I feel that David's first sentence to the argument has an awkward feeling to it. I do not know who he is talking about [Sheldon Adelson] or what PACs are. I also am having a difficult trying to pick out the thesis statement in his argument. No one sentence really pops out as me as "strong" like a thesis statement should.

               I personally would have to agree with David's argument. I think too often we don't take the time to consider everything, and look at both sides of things. For me this doesn't just pertain to professional sports but to anything where there is controversy or two sides. I myself try to be very non-judgmental and try and take all things into consideration. I can openly admit there have been times when the Green Bay Packers have played someone, and a "tough call" has gone in our favor and I have been happy about it even though it really shouldn't have been a tough call, and it shouldn't have ended in our favor. Sometimes these calls lead to the Packers winning, sometimes they don't. In my head though I sometimes try and put myself in the other person's shoes or take on their perspective of what happened and just picture myself being upset because of the outcome.
