Friends, I am simply shocked by what you said about this place ...
I remember when I started rooting for Rafa, I really did not know the hatred that these people feel for him.
...but little by little I was seeing, and it saddens me greatly.
When I saw the wickedness against him I responded with outrage. So it devastated me.
Over time I was creating a shield against it, and instead of hatred I was feeling contempt for them, because they do not deserve our attention.
And I'll confess something, in everything I've seen about the rivalries in sports, I had never seen so much hatred against an athlete as I see by Rafa.
In Brazil there are these sick people too... They can't accept the success of Rafa and the only way they encounter is being cruel to him.
One thing they do not know is that those who wish evil to others will receive all this evil back.
I'm sure Rafa needs our positive thoughts for your protection and strength.
