Antics On the Court

When players take part in a sport, At times they may prance and cavort But it spoils the game (Though the crowds are aflame) When deportment comes up a bit short. Like in tennis, one player’s disdain For decorum had some folks complain. His opponent was peeved Since a win was achieved While his goal seemed to just entertain. I’d mixed feeling while watching the match. The excitement was easy to catch. Still, attention was paid Not to shots that were made But to antics the winner’d unlatch.

Bad sportsmanship was never as blatant as during the last Presidential election; sadly this is becoming a "thing".

Athletes are entertainers these days. With the money they're paid, they should perform at halftime! :)

The USA has demonstrated to the world good manners do not pertain to sports, but thank you for taking a break from Wimbledon to report this! Aloha!
