Okay let's say there is a game of football, the Reds against the Blues. The star running back for the Blues gets the ball handed to him, turns upfield, and promptly gets a vicious hit at the knees from the Blues' own center. Naturally the crowd goes nuts, because though football is a very tough and physical game, in the normal course of a game a team's center does not try to take out his own running back's knees. The next play the Blues running back gets the ball handed to him again, wisely avoids his own center, and gets hit very hard by the Reds team's linebacker. The crowd does not go nuts, because the Reds team's linebacker is SUPPOSED to tackle the Blue team's running back. Meanwhile a couple of confused fans in the stands wonder why the Blue fans reacted one way on the first play, and in a completely different way on the second play.
