Tennis legend: What strikes? So our sports stars are millionaires!

21.09.2011


In recent weeks a discussion rocked tennis fans worldwide. It's about whether we should be diluted in any way with calendar events to have more time to rest players and to reduce the risk of injury.

Rocket No. 1 Andy Murray of Britain, however, goes even further, calling for a strike, if it comes to understanding. Against this statement jumped very sharply former captain of Britain 'Davis Cup' Andy Lloyd.

He said that according to him is not normal to talk about strikes in modern tennis given that sport stars are millionaires.

"Andy's statement is simply amazing. These guys accumulate fortunes. Usually people go on strike when they get enough money or when you are not satisfied with their workplace.

Tennis players circling some of the most beautiful places in the world, taking with them the "Rolls Royce" of the airport, stay at 10 star hotels and making fortunes for a few days. I'm not sure that there is a normal reason to want to strike.

Very different would be to say that it is nice to have some discussion on a busy calendar, but not to talk about skachka. This statement is outrageous. Showing no sachuvstie and understanding of competitors on this issue, "said Lloyd.
