I am talking to the people who are moaning and whining about our athletes. They talk about the athlete choking. Not trying hard enough. When the poster is not contributing to the cause enough. Why aren't they out there cheering on the sport? Volunteering at events. etc etc etc

Why? These people chose to pursue a sport/lifestyle funded with my tax dollars - any taxpayer has every right to bitch and moan about their performance. There are two issues here - one is the philosophical question of whether taxpayers should sustain amateur sports, and the other of whether I am interested enough in any of these sports to do anything else. Personally, I am not, but as long as I fund them, I can complain about their performance.
