Did you actually see the direct quotes? When asked if he would support a potential boycott of the first tennis major of the year, Murray said: “If something was to be done, I think it would be a lot more beneficial to do it before the tournament starts. “For players to be in a position where you're in a slam and boycotting playing on the court, I think would potentially cause a lot of issues. So I think if something was going to be happen and the players come to an agreement, if they think the name should be changed or whatever, that should be decided before the event starts. “But I would imagine a lot of the players would be pretty offended. So we'll see what happens." Sounds to me like some diplomatic comments about an issue not of his making from the world number one, who is bound to be asked his opinion.

She is boycotting an airline because the owner is pro-gay marriage and had a full page letter printed in a paper the other day slagging off Casey Dellacqua for having a child with her wife, whom Court called her "partner" (quotating marks included). My mum's a vicar. Her bishop is gay. I know of no Christian orthodoxy that requires any Christian to go out of their way to be a cunt to gay people. There is personal opinion and there's publicly humiliating a gay tennis player. If she is pro-boycott, why shouldn't other players stick up for Dellacqua and give her a taste of her own medicine?

Should she be allowed to hound tennis players through the press because of them too and continue to be honoured by the sport? If so, it's fair enough for her to be hounded in return, surely?

Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 She started the other day about how there's loads of lesbians in tennis now because gay people take everyone to camps and convert them.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Interesting set of second round matches for the high seeds. Djokovic-Sousa Nadal-Hasse Both have the potential to be good if the luck is with the outsiders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
