I'm a great admierer of his achievements. Physically and mentally, he's up there with our finest sportsmen in the modern era.
Hope he can compete competively in Wimbledon this summer. Be a fitting send off for him in my view.
No. I respect that view mate. I just think he's a miserable git whose mother molly-coddled him. I have more respect for bus-drivers and litter-pickers; nurses and teachers. I don't rate men who decide to become tennis-players. I rate men who earn an honest-living. We'll have to agree to disagree. I think the man is a cunt.
Are there any modern sportsmen you admire??
Clearly, it's obscene how much money he makes when compared to a nurse who works 60hr weeks consistently.
But you get inequality, it's inevitable in our society.
Do you rant at Tom Hanks how is lavishly paid for talking into a camera?
Or members of the Spice Girls who get paid a fortune for singing very badly.
Such injustices could drive anyone mad. Maybe I'm just too accepting of how life can be unfair for the majority.
