It doesn’t matter what game or activity that is being watched, observed and/or criticized, there is always an expert that knows the best case scenario. In football terms, they would be known as armchair quarterbacks. Softball, Volleyball, Basketball and many other sports they are known as obnoxious fans, that just blurt out irrelevant rants and raves.
Even though many of the rants gain attention and might garner a laugh or two, but there is a very good chance that the person that is being criticized won’t change their mind or alter their game, just because somebody in the crowd said something, even if they are the most knowledgeable sports genius ever. All athletes should give their coaches their utmost attention. There should be no undercutting of a coaches impact on an athlete while in competition, in most instances the coaches are trying to place the athlete in a situation where they have a chance to be successful. If the athlete chooses to second guess the coaches opinion or advice, there is a good chance that the benefit will be minimal.
First off, fans of athletics, learn the rules of the game. There are some rules that rear their ugly head every blue moon and are remembered by the officials but that isn’t enough, as the officials are all dumb, blind, and favor one team over the other throughout the contest, and according to the fans in the stands that is the truth.
I continue to wish the best to each and every area team and individual competing this fall season, no matter what people say the officials are non-biased at the beginning of a contest, and coaches have the athletes best interest at heart when calling plays and making coaching decisions.
