Even Nadal utters "puta" a lot after missing shots.

Even Nadal? Is he a saint now?

And, before you answer me, remember, you can not curse in this forum!

This! Just have the moral courage to admit he's not a saint. It's like some of these people believe because he's an awesome player than means he's an angel. It is utterly bizarre and says more about them really :nono

It's funny how you guys have created your reality and believed your own BS. Nadal is not close to being a saint, except there are far fewer people arguing he's a saint than there are people calling him human garbage.

This. The big question: Do Federberg and Britbox have the moral courage to point out the posts in which Rafa fans canonized him?

This thread has become ridiculous ...

Everytime you guys get uber defensive about his wrong doing mate. The guy apparently can do no wrong in your eyes. If Roger does something wrong I'll be happy to agree. But for you guys your default mode is to defend him :nono

I know of no Rafa fan who has ever made the claim he can do no wrong. Rafa fans are willing to criticize him, including -- especially -- when it comes to taking too much time.

Seriously, point out even one Rafa fan who has defended his doing this.

I'll wait ...

It'll never happen. Notice how the majority of threads that get closed are about Nadal.

Er, such as this? I realize it was reopened today but did you really need to ask that question?!

No, because he was used earlier in this thread as an example of a player who doesn't curse.

Put your money where your mouth is. Where have I ever defended Nadal for doing a wrong?

Time wasting? I said he wastes time. General gamesmanship? Ditto. Questionable medical timeouts early on in his career? You got it. Coaching? All I said is everyone does it.

I'm sorry if I don't believe these things make him a piece of human waste.

It was closed because you called someone dumb and I used profanity. Don't be dense.

It's about time that jerk withdrawn for Nadal matches. He should put more attention to those ones which smash the racquets, insulting the crowd, kicking the adds around the court and after every point they walk in slow motion before the serve, all those things takes a lot more seconds :( :mad: :cover

Michael Jordan, Mohammed Ali, Diego Maradona...

- A degenerate gambler, a bully, an obsessively competitive guy who would do anything to get an edge (meaning he pushes the limits, not that he outright cheats), a man who cheated on his wife, has more bastards than Robert Boratheon, a petty person with a chip on his shoulder.

- A boderline racist, a close minded sexist, a man who would do anything to get an edge...

- A druggy, a cheat, and a woman beater.

Three of my favorite athletes of all time. And chances are, at least two of them are among your favorite athletes of all time. The first two are easily the most popular sportsmen in the history of the US (and maybe the world), while the third is considered a god in his home country and was once the most popular athlete on the planet.

...Maybe tennis players are not such bad guys after all. Maybe tennis fans are a bunch of entitled, self-righteous, elitist holier than thou hypocrites.

Just a thought.

(PLEASE spare me the "it's a different sport/different culture" BS. When your'e judging athletes as PEOPLE, the sport does not matter).

Front, if you can post in a thread, it's open. If you can't, it's closed. You just posted in this one, so that means it's open.

So, what are some examples demonstrating "the majority of threads that get closed are about Nadal"?

I'll wait ...

Federberg, you've exposed the truth. Carol is actually a common account that Moxie, tented, Kieran, A-P and myself use. Therefore, she represents ALL Nadal fans.

Jesus this place has become unbearable.

And point out the section in which Carol specifically defends Rafa taking too much time.

There were many in the past but they were reopened but closed temporarily as it seems many of the mods past and present can't take the heat when Nadal gets discussed in a negative fashion.

Lol! You can't be that obtuse mate. Read my post. I said you guys get uber defensive about his wrong doing. I didn't specify your tactics. That post I showed you is defensive to anyone with a bit of common sense. There's no leg to stand on mate... let it go

You do realize the only mod who's a Nadal fan is tented right? You do realize Riotbeard, Kskate and others aren't, right? You do realize Riotbeard is actually one of the people criticizing Nadal in this thread, right?

You do realize the thread was not closed when Nadal was cast in a negative light, but when, in the words of Kskate (who's not a Nadal fan) "veteran posters" indulged in trading insults, right? You do realize that has to do with posters taking jabs at each other and zero to do with Nadal, right?

You do realize how insufferable you're being, right?

I said past and present. Moxie was a mod before and is a Nadal fan.
