Thanks Nick, What an Ambassador for Tennis Australia ?
Surely enough is enough, Come on Nick, lift your game mate !!!!! Great once again you have brought yourself and Tennis Australia , and the Game into disrepute. Be a man and come on board and join the program.
Whether you like it or not !!!! YOU are REPRESENTING AUSTRALIA everytime you open your mouth or step onto the court. (That is the Tennis Court, not a Judicial Court, well, not yet anyway) and many of us are just sick & tired of your immature tirades.
Of course mummy will support your "comments", after all blood is always thicker than water.
Take the Dummy out of your mouth, stop the Dummy spits, and show us what you are really made of, and truly capable of doing, .....playing great Tennis, not only for yourself, but your family, and
all Australians. You have it in you, you just have to apply yourself.
Hope enough folks read this before someone "reports me", or my post just suddenly "disappears",
so come mate, show respect, give respect, to receive some back yourself, and let's have a great game of tennis. Go Nick !!!!!!!!!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

just explaining why i can't link it to racism
Have you forgotten how Dawn Fraser was immediately called a racist by Kyrgios and his family, even labelled a white supremacist on Twitter, when she commented on his bad behaviour at Wimbledon?

the commentators said the booing was to be
expected and judy dalton said this morning
it was a very good indication of how the fans
feel.
But booing in Australia is racist.

Sorry icy, my post was for julia. I thought the 77 year old wanted to have a shot at their unsportsmanlike behaviour, I don't Think she realized what she said until it was too late. From memory I agreed with someone else who also felt that way about it in the thread that was on here.

Icy, do you really not understand the difference between what is a racist comment and what is just foul-mouthed abuse?

it was brought up because of recent discussions
where booing was linked to racism when it clearly
was not racist. it was good to see no one made
the connection this time. booing is part of sport and
reflects how the fans feel.
Spot on *julia, you have hit the hammer on the head. It is one of the FEW WAYS that Tennis Supporters & Fans can express their discontent with the actions of a said player, as in any sport. (one would like to think so, anyway)
Racism is Racism when it is directed DIRECTLY towards an individual/s by way of Terminology through speech, actions, or written form. Non of these were or are directed to Tennis Bad Boy Nick. No Racism here, just Bad Boy Tennis on Display.

yep, a brat who still needs his bottom smacked and a mother who hasnt got a clue about sportsmanship and needs to pull him into line instead of supporting his bad behaviour

Plus the fact that his family called Dawn Fraser a racist for her comments, which kind of were, but totally deserved really.

You don't have to apologise.
I thought the 77 year old
77 year old! We can't call one of our Olympic greats by her name? What's age got to do with it? calling bad behaviour is not age related!
wanted to have a shot at their unsportsmanlike behaviour, I don't Think she realized what she said until it was too late.
Too late for what? She called it right!

The "racist" was not about Kyrgious's comment She-el. It was about the booing he encountered in Canada, and how nobody there called it racist.
As against another well-known Aussie Sportsman and the booing he got for his bizarre behaviour.

Yes, l totally agree. lf you want to jump up and down on the footy oval and put your hands under your arm pits, jumping around, ........ then yes, some person might think you are imitating an animal in the zoo.
Actions at times, can speak louder than words. Tennis player behaviour, ....Football player behaviour....... still behaviour.
