Hi guys,
Today I want to put up an appeal to all sport followers, to let all the super stars of sport be.
I have come to a place in my sport watching stint where I have to take a call on this for my own benefit and say it out aloud or its going to ruin watching any competitive sporting event hereafter.
Enough said, let me start by bringing this question to you , why is it that a world class player say of Nadal or Djokovic's cadre can't express himself on court?
I hear the commentators say of such a player that his display of emotion was uncalled for , the same commentators also in the same breath say he is so much at home on the court.....a bit funny when you put it that way , well I for one would not like anyone to tell me how I should behave at home , my home , my place. These players work and sacrifice like no one else , they become role models for their ethics , skills and they way they manage to have such successful careers, so when they have an glorious moment on the field of play and they show their appreciation of that through a pumped fist of a loud yell of 'hell yeah' why beat them to pulp for it? The guy has gone through a lot to achieve this result and his chances when he began this process were pretty slim , so whats wrong if he exults a little. The guy is on court , his court , his domain well his everything, the guy practically lives there , we go to watch him. While watching a Lion in the wild, do we object to him letting out a snarl, he is what he is its us that have gone over see him and his instincts, similarly these are people who are blessed with such fierce competitive instincts and that is what brings out the spectacle that puts bums on seats, so why try and make them like us ?
Another example , it is common knowledge now that both Nadal and Djokovic target Federer's backhand and win such an exchange almost every time so when Federer does win an backhand exchange with either of these two players and shows a little emotion how does it make him a lesser player?
These players are people who struggled and worked impossibly hard , worn their hearts on their sleeves to excel at something , in turn inspiring millions like myself , to do things which are over and above the ordinary , they are still human and I would want my children to have a role model who has all these qualities of a human star a phenomenal entity but one easy to relate to.......
This again is just a thought or just thoughts..........
