normally there is an anouncement of retirement before a sportsman retires and that particular sportsman is expected to be little nervous or emotional ,so no judgements on his last performance and also sports is spontaneous , not as well thought and planned as a art form like cinema , so if a film turned out to be not so good , there is nothing wrong in saying so , even if its last film of someone associated with the film . Death is compulsary , nowadays very common , many people are dying around me ..so nobody is above criticism in art.
