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

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 ...

ETA: Famous photo
A photo of a dazed Tittle in the endzone taken by Morris Berman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on September 20, 1964, is regarded among the most iconic images in the history of sports. Tittle, who was in the final season of his career, was photographed helmet-less, bloodied and kneeling immediately after having been knocked to the ground by John Baker of the Pittsburgh Steelers and throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown at the old Pitt Stadium. The quarterback suffered both a concussion and cracked sternum on the play. He would go on to play out the rest of the season, but the Giants would finish a disappointing 2-10-2.[citation needed] Post-Gazette editors at first declined to run the photo, looking for "action shots" instead, but Berman entered the image into contests where it took on a life of its own, winning a National Headliner Award. The photo was ineligible for a Pulitzer Prize because it was not published, but it is regarded as having changed the way that photographers look at sports, having shown the power of capturing a moment of reaction. It now hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[citation needed] After at first having failed to see the appeal of the image, Tittle eventually would grow to embrace it, putting it on the back cover of his 2009 autobiography. "That was the end of the road," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2008. "It was the end of my dream. It was over."[citation needed] Tittle and Berman weren't the only ones to profit from the famous image, Pittsburgh player John Baker (who hit Tittle right before the picture was taken) ran for Sheriff in his native Wake County, North Carolina, in 1978 and used the photo as a campaign tool. Baker went on to serve for 25 years.[3] The photo was identified so heavily with youthful years of the baby boom generation that Miller Beer used it in an iconic ad relaunching its "Miller High Life" brand in 2007-2008. |

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".
