Teams playing on even level playing fields have to contend with sun, wind, home town crowds (fans), and fickle referees. You will NEVER get totally neutral conditions for the endeavor, and debates will always rage about the fairness of specific playing seasons, games, plays within the game and individual behavior in any one play. And even 'instant replay' doesn't solve all debates!

If that is stretching the metaphor too far, let me just say again that "righteous indignation" is seldom very useful as a tool of debate, no matter HOW right you think you are on any issue...from disappointing ball games to unhappiness at religious behavior and institutions.
