In men's sports, people criticize coaches and managers all the time, call out teammates, too, and it's not that huge of a deal.

There are those who write because they believe they have something so marvelous that it will make them famous and wealthy, a lauded commodity who will be invited to a lifetime of cocktail parties.

American Novelist

Nick Foles
