Last night at the end of the Orange Bowl football game the country got multiple looks at the Florida kicker sitting dejected on the bench. He received this special attention because he didn’t send the ball between the uprights at a critical point in the game. This seems unfair to me. There were so many other things both obvious and unnoticed that could have made a difference in the game. Why do we single out the missed free throw at the end of a basketball game, one dropped ball on the baseball diamond, or a missed field goal and then focus in on that player’s misery. Wins are a team effort and loses are as well.
