Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words (or something to that effect).I thought it was a good apology. Sometimes you're ashamed of your behavior and only realize it after the fact. I really believe that's not who Big Foe is.
I agree it was a good apology. But I never buy into any statement after an angry outburst or bad behavior/quote from any celebrity that it does not reflect who they are. To me these unguarded moments reveal what their inner thoughts and self-discipline are intimately. Most of these people become repeat offenders if they are put under stress or similar situations again and then they send out similar apologies yet again.I thought it was a good apology.

So, you wouldn't call a foot fault in that situation either?He was definitely shafted on that serve toss call in a 3rd set breaker. What idiot umpire would do that to anyone?
FT should've just screamed into his towels or use Med's finger gesture. You can't mis-speak when you say F-you 6 or 10 times. Yet no umpire should call that at 5-5 in a tb unless its egregious.
just time violations should be omitted. both guys are in a long match deciding breaker. It's an unwritten rule like cops not pulling you over for going 5 mph over a 45mph speed zone.So, you wouldn't call a foot fault in that situation either?
The problem is that we can't tell the difference between I'm sorry and I'm sorry I got caught...I agree it was a good apology.

This is more of a general comment on celebrity PR apologies rather than this specific case involving Tiafoe, but his words reminded me of the typical PR message when a celebrity lands in trouble more than any real contrition about what happened.
I like this one. But I'd use "Understand" instead of "Characterize".Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words (or something to that effect).
here is the video, you be the judge, that ball toss was to serve or not?

Not at all.here is the video, you be the judge, that ball toss was to serve or not?
If Tiafoe ever learn to count to 25 he can avoid getting a time violation.That umpire needs to check his ego at the door. Doesn't excuse Big Foe ... kind of tired of umpires interjecting themselves into the game. If you want to watch umpires getting overly involved just watch the NFL.
The umpire was wrong to impose 2 serve without explanation. He should have said that shot clock is for ball to get on play, not ball toss.
Umpire could have handled situation much better.
His behavior heated up Tiafoe.

He didn’t lose me because I never did like Clownfoe.Sorry you can't F you an umpire with such vitriol and hate. It's literally a verbal assault. Big Foe just lost respect and a lot of fans.
See above. Honestly, if an irate person only resorts to shouting, that's actually better in my opinion than those that resort to violence. I've seen a ton of both in my life, and there is a HUGE difference.Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words (or something to that effect).
“You made me abuse you.”The umpire was wrong to impose 2 serve without explanation. He should have said that shot clock is for ball to get on play, not ball toss.

If they didn't ban Zverev, there's no way they could ban TiafoeGood amount of fine. But they didn't ban him for a month which is sad.
Zverev also deserved a small ban. Atrocious.If they didn't ban Zverev, there's no way they could ban Tiafoe
Exactly. No matter how harsh Tiafoe's words were, he was never physically threatening to the umpire.If they didn't ban Zverev, there's no way they could ban Tiafoe
I'd say something more than a small ban. The guy swung his racquet at part of the umpire's body! Yes, he hit the chair right in front of his leg, but it was really bad, and he swung it twice. They needed to make an example of Zverev (who is the perfect guy to make an example of).Zverev also deserved a small ban. Atrocious.
