The author concludes that the critics who accuse our team of being unprofessional due to the team’s enthusiasm on the field are wrong. This is based on the fact that the professionals in the sport act in a more enthuasiastic way.

The author misinterprets the critics claim that the team is “unprofessional.” “Unprofessional” can mean rude, uncourteous. But the author mistakenly thinks that the critics were claiming the team was not behaving like professional players behave.

The author does not equate enthusiasm with unethical play. Rather, he is responding to the critics’ belief that the enthusiastic repsonses of the team are “unprofessional.” The author believes the responses are not “unprofessional,” in the sense that professionals act similarly.

The author misinterprets the critics’ claim as accusing the team of not acting like professional players. But the critics actually just mean that the team is rude or uncourteous.

The author does not try to cast blame on anyone. Rather, the author tries to rebut the claim that the team is “unprofessional.”
