   In January, the NFL's Seattle Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers to earn a trip to their second consecutive Super Bowl. The day after that win happened to be Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so inexplicably the Seahawks decided to compare their struggle for a championship to the struggle for equal rights that African-Americans have gone through. View image on Twitter. The example of immediacy in this situation is how fast the Seattle Seahawks decided to compare them losing a game to the struggle of how blacks didn’t have equal rights. I feel as if that it was very immature, unnecessary, and disrespectful to compare the struggle of equal rights to a game. The example of permanency is that the decision that the team decided to make to compare their lost of a game to a major problem, will always be known; it will be left as a disgrace, embarrassing to all blacks, and disrespectful. This is an example of lack of control because when the team sent this out, it was reposted multiple times; even after deleted. This article shows that you shouldn’t compare simple things, like a lost game, to a major problem, like the struggle of blacks’ equal rights.
