Are Idiot players like Krygios good or bad for the sport?

+1 for Krygios. The dude only told the truth, apparently. Politically correct BS makes me sick, I'd rather listen to a kid with crazy hair who calls it as it is.

Have had enough of this politcally correct claptrap. I think most pros in the changing are afraid that Kyrgios will start calling them out, one by one.

Misplaced hero worship. He's not worth it. Kyrgios is a child. Tantrums. Childish tanking (Wimbledon). Disrespect towards fellow players and for the game itself. You guys are confusing PC behavior with mature, adult behavior. This issue is not about political correctness. More about civility and sportsmanship than being PC.

Justified. That lineswoman was clearly picking on Serena, and we all know why.

Because Serena is a horrible human being which she shows time and time again...

Anyway to answer the question it is of course good for tennis - publicity is publicity and nobodies been hurt.

Wrong. The lineswoman was just doing her job.

And even if your theory was correct, Serena should have never threat another person's life by swearing that she will shove the ball down the lineswoman's throat.

I forgot to include "insert sarcasm here" in my original post.

So take for example, if one day someone calls out your woman for having banged some other guy just before meeting you to the whole neighbourhood, your friends, and family even if it's the truth, that'd be fine with you... correct?

Okay. Nice logic there.

In terms of revenue, every Kyrgios match at Estoril drew massive crowds

He brings people to the game,

I suppose on a traditional basis, he upsets the status quo quite a bit.

Wouldn't be surprised to see tournament directors lining up to lure him to their venues, simply because he's marketable

Edit: meh

If it happened before she met you, why does it matter? Or are you saying your ego couldn't handle the fact you weren't First?

That's a ****ty example tbh

You're not getting the point, it's not about whether you're the first or she's slept around.

It's the fact that people are going around talking unnecessary things just because they have a big mouth. Why does the person need to say it? Truth or not, that's none of their business. Nothing to do with ego, so get your head straight.

In Kygrios's case, it's during a professional tennis match. Couldn't win a point? Say something sexually offensive. Yes, because that's a very humane attitude right?

Yeah, I got it the second time I read it, hence I removed the statement.

Glad to clear that up.

I've confirmed with headquarters:
That is indeed what an idiot looks like.

When you encounter an idiot in its natural habitat he may exhibit the following:
1. Hair color: High level idiots will purposely color hair to show ranking among other idiot species. More colors on the generally indicates the higher ranking idiots.
2. Mastication on clothing and accessories: Idiots will be observed to chew on themselves or other objects. It is theorized that this is a parafunctional habit and that the idiot is not actually attempting to digest the item.
3. Black Chiclet - The Black Chiclet allows idiots to communicate. Often worn on the left earlobe, the Black Chiclet allows the idiot's thoughts to pass directly from the brain to the mouth without consideration or other interference. This allows the idiot to discharge what has been termed 'idiot speak'.

Nicely done. He's an idiot all right.

I just wish he'd clear off but he won't. What a pity.
