* LogicalFallacies: After all-star Tim quits the football team, they (understandably) slip in performance. When they start losing one too many games in a season, students begin to blame Tim directly for not returning to play. He pointedly asks how it's his fault an entire team is losing. Given that these are high schoolers, "it just is" would be about the best response he could expect.
