So and so sucks, he chokes, I love when he loses. Every telecast you see posts like this when not a damn one of those people could even come close to being where these guys are. If you can't compete with them you don't have the right to criticize and if you do atleast admit how much you suck compared to these guys.

Most of the posts were by Kincaid the child.

That's the stupidest thing I have ever read here. Oh cry me a river. Criticizing other sports and other players is ok. But god forbid someone critize a bowler! Now that's taboo!

Shut up when I'm talking to you! SHUT UP!

What I said goes for any professional athlete. I'm not one of those die hard bowlers you find on these boards. What you are doing is showing your jealously because you know you would never be able to compete at a professional level in anything. Don't have the skill, don't run the mouth.
S15E,
I hope to see you on tour one day, but I haven't seen you say anything bad about a pro so my comments weren't directed towards you.

kidjete,
In short, you are wrong. People talking about the game is good. No one claims to be able to compete. You don't have to be able to compete to just talk about the pros.
We have EVERY right to criticize and talk about them because the are professionals and in the public eye. It's not rocket science.
Their careers are entirely dependant on public speculation and discussion. If that were to stop, then so would the sponsorship deals, because no on would watch any longer.

I bowl at country club bowl...not a very inventive name now is it.

Criticism isn't necessarily from the thought that we could do better, it's a result of a professional's failure to meet the standard put on themselves by their skill level. Any time you do not perform how you should, criticism will come into play. Barnes has showed a high level of skill by making tv show after tv show, but undeniably finds ways to prevent himself from winning. He is exceeding the standard by making so many shows, but is well under the standard as far as tv wins. Do I think I could do better? No. Do I think I deserve to be there? No. Do I think I could make better decisions? Maybe. But I'm here watching and observing everything. He is in the MOMENT in the midst of pressure, and the full responsibility for his actions and decisions awaiting him. We have nothing to win or lose by sitting at home eating donuts and yelling at the pros. Their success or lack thereof could hinge on something as seemingly small as a decision to make a ball change.
