Critics...

I've always noticed that critics i.e. people who adopt criticism as a profession are generally not so competent themselves in that field e.g. most of the columnist who write about sports and comment/criticize players might have never stepped onto a cricket/football field themselves...They for one cannot even fathom how or what it feels like to play the game, to be under so much pressure, yet they never take that into account and criticize just for the sake of criticism, just because its their job...Same is the case with film and movie critics...Their ratings and views are in most cases contrary to the public...Infact quite a few of the critically acclaimed movies are boring crap to say the least...Its one thing to criticize someone blatantly just for the heck of it...Infact its the easier route...Critics must realize that their criticism can be considered credible and constructive only when they themselves can prove to be worthy enough in that field...If not, its better that they just zip up OR if they consider themselves experts in that field, then perhaps they can show it to the rest of the world and prove it!!!
