Federer Filling Boring No. 1 Niche Vacated by Sampras

Yee,

If you are saying other nation's sport journalists do not write stupid stuffs such as "compare the popularity of the obvious", you are just not PC enough or your PCness is only direct at the US press.

Last night ESPN did a segment on Agassi and Sampras, and one of the things mentioned was that Agassi was flashy, and Sampras lacked personality, read boring. Thank goodness Sampras is an Amercian, otherwise PC police of the world would have flip their collective lid.

Well if I'm not PC enough (whatever hell that means), then why not find me an article with similar title as the one I posted, maybe from Switzerland or Thailand?

What does Agassi and Sampras comparison has anything to do with my point??? I wasn't even arguing the fact that Roger is more popular than Andre in US, heck he probably is more popular than Roger (or any other players) in anywhere else except Switzerland NOW. I'm only talking about that stupid comparison of Andre popularity with Roger at this stage in their tennis life in Andre home country, the great America just to justify that Roger is boring and lack of charisma. There are plenty of arguments that can be used to say Roger is boring I toally agree, but to justify that by comparing his popularity vs Andre in US is just plain bias and stupid. How difficult is that for you to undestand???

PC, politcally correct, someone who takes a meaningless statement and gets all bend out of shape. If you don't know the term, then most likely you are not from the US. Presumably you are Asian. If you read Chinese, then I suggest you to peruse their coverage of Houston Rockets. Bias and stupid reports are not exclusive to the US. Which part of that you don't get?

Thank you for telling me what PC means. I can only think that you must be so PC correct for assuming that since I don't know what PC means, and probably because my name is yee, so I'm Asian. Few points to made before I close my discussion with you :

1) I'm not about to start reading some basketball (which I'm totally not interested in) coverage reports just to prove YOUR point. If you want to prove I'm bias for only critising the US media for coming out with idiotic articles such as the one I posted, find me one with similar effect from elsewhere.

2) I assume once again your PCness make you think that I'm anti US to be critical about the US media. Wrong, I'm just anti-idiotic and irresponsible media/reporters.

3) No doubt there're always bias reports, such as finding excuses when their favourite lost etc etc. I read plenty of those from everywhere. But I just had not read an article who's stupid enough to come out with the title and contents as the one I had pointed elsewhere. And I had explained in depth why is it so stupid imo.

4) Believe it or not, if I do come across another such stupid and bias one, be it US or non US, I'll post it here and critisize it to death.

Finally, I believe I'm PCness enough to accept if you still think otherwise.

Pug,

Don't bother. It's not worth your time.

Chad,

But I was wrong. Now I've seen the light and its righteousness hits me like a ton of feces. Simplly put, the arrogance of the American press is fantastic; Pax-Americana extends her evilness of foreign bashing by unjustly reporting on a trivial subject of Roddick is more exciting than Federer. Without a doubt, this is yet another futile attempt by the Imperialist propaganda machine to brain wash the world. Thanks to the ever vigilant Comrade Yee, the imperialist’s devious plot is once again foiled. I shall never have such a peepeeness again.

[chad shaver]

I, too, have seen the light. We should all be cast to the ninth level of Hell....

For some reasons, I remembered feeling bored WATCHING Sampras play than WATCHING Federer play. Federer does not strike me as having a boring personality either. He looks so comfortable with things on court when he is playing. It is almost as if he tells his opponent "Go ahead, take your time. Figure out what you need to do and I will do my own thing". He doesn't seem to be bothered by bad calls and let's his tennis do the talking. That is just my impression. I know it may sound kind of conceited.
