One of my favorites and very apropos. Having played football from ‘midgets’, through high school and college,there is no question that there will always be the ‘critics’, as there are in all other phases of our society. But the critics are also a necessary component of our society, even though they may, many times, be wrong in their assessment. They still cause us to rethink what we are doing. If without basis or support, you simply cast them off and march on. But, should something be shown to be worthy of reflection, then the ‘man in the arena’ should take heed and consider a change of tactics. Otherwise, he becomes a stubborn fool who just blindly wales away.
