Why does every "iconic" photo thread devolve into an "esoteric or obscure" photo thread?

Yep. First image that came to mind. I'd say a bunch of posters in this thread don't understand the word "iconic." |

I was at that game. Asleep, but I was there. ![]() |

Quoted: http://www.jessicacrabtree.com/journal1/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/BillyMills_Crossing_Finish_Line_1964Olympics.jpg Billy Mills went thru the first 5k of the Olympic 10,000 meter race, faster than his own previous 5k personal best. http://youtu.be/VVlKVWFmfhk Listen to the guy in the announcers booth scream and start laughing when Mills comes back after being shoved out into lane 3 by then world record holder Clarke. Mills was a virtual unknown and huge underdog. I love this one. "Look at Mills! Look at Mills!" Back in grander times when USA Track & Field meant something to the American public. Others ... ![]() Steve Prefontaine pulling away from George Young in the last few laps of the US Olympic Trials 5000 meter race, and setting a new American record in the process while the packed house at Hayward Field in Eugene Oregon went bonkers. ![]() Mary Decker Slaney at the '83 World Track & Field Championships in Helsinki Finland holding off the favored Russians to win the women's 1500. She also won the women's 3000 after leading the entire race. Too bad she couldn't keep her feet under her at the '84 Olympics in LA. ![]() And of course the world will never forget this one ... ![]() ![]() |

We had an iconic 20th century images thread a month or so ago, and I swear it became a contest of who could show off the most obscure photo to make themselves feel "in the know" about something. It's like everyone has a little Snowleopard inside them. |

This. Best save in sports history. George Brett's charge from the dug-out to the umpire is epic, as well. Just looked up the Rick Monday incident. How had I never heard of that before? Aside from the fact it occurred before I was born. |

Many people in this thread seem to think "iconic" means "random guys in sports uniforms doing something that no one understands without a back story or caption".

That probably isn't Iconic, I have never seen it, but I like the cut of your jib. ![]() |
