Rough crowd. How do you know the kids doesn't have the flu or was playing with a turned ankle?

I always think about this, Nan, whenever one of the Huskies has less than a sterling night and some posters go off on them.

It's the moral equivalent of the fundamental attribution error in psychology. The fundamental attribution error speaks to our tendency to judge people's core qualities based on what we observe rather than accounting for circumstances. So if someone's being aggressive on the road, our tendency is to say, "what a jerk" instead of "maybe his wife's in the hospital". Similarly, we often judge players by a game or stretch of games without knowing what all is going on with the player on question.
