Late to the thread commenter here, but geez, being asked "what criticisms do you have" and deflecting with this response makes me wonder why you're trying to hide the reason(s) you dislike him...
The original characterization and the comment manage to be rude, condescending and passive-aggressive all at once. It's straight up explaining to someone what their own motivations and tastes are. I honestly don't understand what the ballpark is supposed to be, the whole sport seems awful.
