CAMELOT FANTASIES

I saw this on FB and LOLed. People are so funny. A Rafa fan wrote this.

Rafa nadal an example for everyone

I hate Novak Djokovic : A lesson in sports-hate for the uninitiated ..

First , let me clarify , I don’t know Novak and I concede that it’s a very real possibility that he is not loathsome , he may be kind , generous , moral and good , he is an incredible athlete , for sure , and his tennis is among the best possibly ever , I’ve heard that he’s involved in lovely charity activities and may be a fine new husband and father ..

It must also be pointed out that I am , I think , a reasonable and not hateful person , I counsel peace and patience to my friends and warn them about the word ‘hate’ itself , No , we do not hate unless we are talking about sports , of course , Unless I am talking about Novak Djokovic ..

I hate him in that singular , irrational crystalline way of all sports-hate , I hate his cocky, arrogant swagger , and his rubber-band-man antics , I hate his stupid impressions , I hate his chest-thumping and his bug-eyed celebrations , index finger pointed aggressively toward the heavens. I hate his whining , his arguing , his drama , and his disrespect of the crowd , the way that he bellows and rips his shirt from his body , it all makes me shudder with visceral sports-hate ..

I can’t watch this man win , something he does very often , I snap the television off and huff around for awhile , distracting myself from a very clear and quivering hatred , I spend hours no , weeks , watching and rooting for him to lose , each fresh tournament , I find myself scanning the draws to see who might beat him this time , who must beat him ..

Believe it or not , I’m usually quite open and flexible about rooting for people , I like most of the players and I am curious and excited about the upstarts , the new crop , but much of my energy goes into rooting against ..

It’s irrational , I’ll admit , all players celebrate , they all whine and argue and kvetch , but give me Rafa’s passion filled fist pump boasting over Djokovic’s nonsense any day , and it seems I am not alone ..

This is just my opinion , of course, and it’s consistent with all sports-hate ; that is , it makes no sense at all , that is sports , and , with sports , comes sports-hate ( read for you) .!.!
