I agree. It's utterly bizarre that you have people judging the actions of people engaged in a sport when they've never taken part in that sport themselves, at least not at any serious level. Even F1 now has one ex-driver steward at every race to inject a bit of realism into the stewards' decisions, and I'd say that's worked pretty well.
Obviously the fact I've never been in a professional sprint finish doesn't affect my ability to be absolutely spot on about the rights and wrongs of the situation though.
