I couldn't agree more. It's rather petty and childish. What was he supposed to do, denounce Scotland? It was a no-win situation, but Andy is a thoughtful person and nobody's push-around. I'm glad he stated his opinion. It was his to express. Good on him.
It's extremely petty and beyond childish. He had to put up with hundreds and hundreds of hatred mails, comments, threats etc. British people, English, in particular have shown their double standard and how big a hypocrite they are. Because rest assured, if it were the English to split up with GB, then they would have stuck with their country without a doubt. And had Andy not won Wimbledon then I am sure they would have not wanted him, because then a lot of them would have thought it was too late for him to win a Slam let alone Wimbledon. So the main reason they supported Andy was because they wanted to take the glory of it - there's no true and genuine liking of Andy as a player and a human being there. I even read nonsense like, 'I am not going to defend him anymore. He has brought this upon himself'. I say adios and go to hell while you are at it. Andy doesn't need any defending from anyone. He knows exactly what he is doing. You just need to sort your double standard and the big hypocrite that you are.
Down with those haters and doubters, really and those who say they are no long sure about supporting Andy after his tweet. I bet a lot of these English fans are also Federer fans and I am sure whether Federer comes from Switzerland or Germany or Hell makes no difference to them. The double standard in all this is truly cringe-worthy.
Anyway, Andy has moved in the meantime and playing tomorrow against Devvarman.
I couldn't agree more with everything that you've said. What I find troubling is that England could be so transparent in their hypocrisy. They've had a love-hate relationship with Andy from the beginning. Kicking him when he's down and praising him to the heavens when it benefits them.
That's why I was glad that Andy stood up and let his voice be heard. He made the right choice. The heck with them! At least he won't be a man without a country. His allegiance is to Scotland. Why should he play PC and be at the beck and call of England? Like you said, were the situation reversed they would have done the same thing.
Andy rocks! He gives no one a dangling carrot to lead him astray. He's his own man, and I love that about. It amazes me that people don't see his strength of character.
