The arrogance of Western society

We've all heard sports fans rant on about how their particular team's manager has got all the tactical decisions wrong in a match. That they know better than the guy who is paid six-figures a week to do his job. They don't even realise how ludicrous it sounds.

This might have more to do with what you're calling "arrogance", sports aren't important, so it easy too say "I don't play sports because I have more important things too do. So that's why I am not a coach, It doesn't however mean, that I don't know how, to do the coach's job better than him."

because we give so much authority to, such a stupid, worthless, job as "sport's coach", we have skewed views on authority


....I blame cricket
