Back to the topic. He wasn't wrong about this either.
If you've never played the game or never coached the game, any knowledge you "think" you have is essentially superficial. There's even a difference in playing and coaching. Having coached the most difficult thing for me was to learn to watch the game differently. You can't "follow the action" as you would as a fan. You basically have to ignore the ball and focus on your specific position group
For the most part I don't like hearing women try to provide a technical evaluation of something about which they have no actual experience.
It's like hearing a man narrate process of childbirth. No matter how much he "knows" about it, he cannot actually relate to the process in any tangible fashion.
It's funny, it's insulting, it's absurd to hear some woman blabbing about how a professional male athlete should have planted his foot. Their knowledge is superfluous at best.
They. know. nothing. about. it.
Do you often play your collection of Washburn PS2000/Ibanez PS10/Washburn Paul Stanley Preacher/Silvertone guitars through a series of Marshall Super Lead/JCM 900/Fireball ENGL 100 amps?
No?
Then how can you possibly have any worthwhile opinions on the guitar stylings of Paul Stanley?
See how ridiculous this sounds?
This notion that "one must have done an exact thing EXACTLY in order to have any merited opinion about a thing" is yet another reason we continually subdivide as a country and society. It's short-sighted.
You don't like women having opinions about football? Fine. I'm sure they don't care for yours about nail polish but it doesn't mean you aren't allowed to hold those opinions.
Flush this line of thinking.
