Final Wimbledon Thoughts . . .

Ok, I'll make this brief, because well - there's not that much more to say.
The big 'hub bub' made at Wimbledon about women grunting kind of infuriates me. Am I to understand that we would like our top female athletes to be superior, worthy of winning, fierce and strong worthy champions, but we'd like them to do so silently??

I cannot recall the last time we asked male athletes to behave this way. Does Miss Sharapova sound a bit "silly"?? Sure, I'll give you that. After a long match, it's kind of funny. But would I want her quiet especially if it tempered her game?? no!! no THANK YOU. Was I super looking forward to a Sharapova v. Azarenka final? Umm, no, I admit it would probably going to be an event best watched on mute. But how dare I sit here and tell them they should be more quiet!!??

Sorry y'all, if you don't want women making any noise while they compete then perhaps you should start watching a card tournament.

Oh and congrats to the winners. It was a great tournament and got me sufficiently excited for the U.S. Open!!
