Hey "bro", many sports present the champions special shirts, hats, rings, trophies, etc directly after the event ends.

I'm sure Roddick could give a rat's ***** about what Federer has on his jacket. You should have the same opinion. You could make just as strong an argument that Roddick wearing his hat backwards for the ceremony was in bad taste or "ghetto". But most people don't because its a non-issue.

15 = the number of slams Federer has won and the I.Q. of anyone who thinks what is on Federer's jacket amounts to a hill of beans.

Fed is definitely not embarrassed when people mention his success. He wore the jacket and it was in your face to Roddick. End of story.

sup bro. i think its because that tennis is a 1 man sport that it comes off arrogant. team sports do that to show theyre proud of the work theyve put in and proud of the men they played with. but since fed doesnt have teammates it comes off as selfishness or something. i just had a problem with the timing

Roddick just lost his best shot at winning Wimbledon. You think he cares about a tiny number 15 on a jacket?

No, not really, grow up.

The worst thing about this is Federer is being bashed for being successful..it's like you guys are saying he should fail at his job or something.

Do what I have been doing for years. Boycott Nike. I can't stand that company.

RedWeb · 07-06-2009, 02:37 PM

To me the whole argument can only be based around whether Roddick took offense or not. IMHO, he could care less. So if his opponent wasn't bothered by it why should we be?

I do think Andy did take a little offense to Roger saying "I know how you feel" as was evidenced by his passive-aggressive joking response. But if I had to guess back in the locker room they both have a lot of respect for one another.

You shouldn't judge a man based upon one or two incidents if he has a long track record of being a sportsman and gentleman. How many years has Fed been voted the best sportsman by his peers? +5?

theyve made terrible tennis clothes for a while now.

He didn't have to flaunt it. It just didn't look good on his part to rub it in even though it was unintentional. Let others talk about you is the way to go. Not you talking about yourself and wearing jackets to show what you did.

I don't buy anything Nike, but Roger himself said he and Nike come up with the ideas, so Roger is half to blame

and he is quite happy to wear it

But I know people will continue bashing him regardless.

Does it matter?

LOL. Exactly. Anyone who thinks it's "cool" to wear a jacket with your accomplishments WRITTEN ON IT.....ROFL! They're the ones who need to grow up. Especially when the jacket is custom made for you! It's not like it's a traditional uniform! And to do it AT an awards ceremony right....um...yes...people already know what you did...you're getting a big trophy for it....

Low-class, cheesy, trailer-park stuff. Somebody in the WWE might do this, but they'd do it to get people to hate them, and they'd be doing it fully aware of how stupid it is....

This is worthy of an SNL parody...you win Wimbledon, your 15th title, and you put on a 15 jacket???

weighing in at 150 lbs, roger(the cry baby) federer!!!!

As a gesture of contrition and belated modesty, he should have his name removed from the Wimbledon trophy.

NOT!
