Breaking News: Tennis Star David Nalbandian Disqualified For Hurting Linesman During Queens Final In London!!!
David Nalbandian of Argentina was disqualified in the finals of the Queens grass court event in London for injuring a linesman. Nalbandian was leading Marin Cilic 7-6 3-4 but he got upset and kicked a sign. The linesman leg was bleeding and immediately he was disqualified from the event.
I am sure David is embarrassed and he should be for this shameful behaviour! Why couldn’t Nalbandian keep his emotions in check? He was so close to winning the title anyway? David basically wasted an entire week of playing good tennis!
According to ATP rules, Nalbandian will not get any ranking points and I don’t think he will get prize money either. I think the International Tennis Federation or the ATP Tour might suspend David from Wimbledon? The players have to learn this kind of behaviour is unprofessional and disgraceful!
Remember Floyd Landis & Marion Jones Admitted To Using Steroids & Stripped Of Their Titles!!!
All of the Lance Armstrong sycophants need to realize just because a top athlete never failed a drug test doesn’t mean they didn’t cheat. The US Anti Doping Agency has evidence and believes Armstrong used EPO and blood transfusions. Armstrong also cleared all his drug tests like Marion Jones.
Floyd Landis one of Armstrong’s former friend and a former Tour de France champion also said that he saw Armstrong cheat. Landis was stripped of his Tour de France title and I believe it is only fair Lance Armstrong face the same fate.
Landis also lied and so did Marion Jones so it is only a matter of time before Lance Armstrong is stripped of his titles.
People want to believe Armstrong is a saint because he is some hero in America for battling cancer. However, Armstrong’s superhuman results winning the Tour de France seven times leaves me suspicious. I commend the US Anti Doping Agency for not capitulating to public pressure and going after Armstrong. Armstrong is a drug cheat just like Floyd Landis and Marion Jones!
ITN News: Stephen Lawrence Murder Trial Verdict Two White Men Convicted Of Murdering Black British Teenager.
I am not sure if people outside of the United Kingdom have heard about the Stephen Lawrence murder case? In the year 1993, an unarmed seventeen year old black British teenager Stephen Lawrence was brutally murdered by white male youths.
Stephen was waiting at a bus stop with a friend when he was stabbed to death. The Stephen Lawrence murder case shocked England and forced the British people to examine racism in British society. The Stephen Lawrence case forced the British police force to admit to racism within their ranks.
Finally in January 2012, due to the persistence of Stephen’s parents after eighteen long years they obtained justice. Two white men Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of murdering Stephen. When I think of Stephen Lawrence if he were alive today he would still be a young man only in his thirties. Maybe Stephen would be married, have a wife and kids. A young life was extinguished due to bigotry and prejudice.
However, even though two white men were convicted of Stephen’s murder the other murderers are still at large. The British newspaper the Daily Mail published the photographs of all the white male suspects. The British public knows the identities of the other killers. Sadly, Stephen Lawrence parents divorced due to the grief and strain of the murder case. I commend Stephen’s parents for fighting so hard and courageously and challenging the racist British police force and justice system. Even though, Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted Stephen is still dead he’s never going to come back.
The Stephen Lawrence case is very similar to the Trayvon Martin tragedy taking place right now in America. Both Stephen and Travyon were unarmed black male teenagers, both were only seventeen when they were killed. I am disgusted by Fox News and numerous media outlets attempting to paint Travyon as a bad kid. Trayvon made mistakes in his young life but he did not deserve to die in cold blood. It is not surprising but still depressing how truly racist this world still is despite the progress of the civil rights movement.
George Zimmerman and his wife both lied to the judge about their finances which certainly hurts their credibility. I sincerely hope and pray it doesn’t take eighteen years for Trayvon Martin’s family to get justice for the murder of their son. I can’t imagine the grief, the pain, and feelings of despair that Travyon Martin’s parents are going through right now.

French Open Women’s Final: Maria Sharapova Blasts Sara Errani 6-3 6-2 To Win Career Grand Slam!!!
The only chance Sara Errani had of beating Maria Sharapova today is if she got tight and beat herself. However, Sharapova was focused, ruthless, and just over powered Errani winning the French Open 6-3 6-2. Maria also won the career grand slam she joins an exclusive group of only ten women to hold all four grand slam singles titles. Errani is a good fighter and a talented player but she lacks the weapons to bother Maria. First, Errani’s serve is just pathetic she usually serves at eighty miles per hour. Sharapova crushed Errani’s first and second serves into submission.
Next, Errani had difficult with Maria’s pace she never faced a woman in the draw who hits the ball so hard and consistent. Sharapova’s movement has improved dramatically she is also more patient on the clay. Sharapova will return to the number one ranking in women’s tennis on Monday while Errani will reach number ten.
Sharapova is an attractive young woman and she is a tennis champion. Anna Kournikova was criticized back in the late 1990s early 2000s because she had a lot of endorsements but lacked the drive to win. It is unfortunate that female athletes are often judged on their appearance and not on their athletic abilities. Heterosexual male consumers of sports control the advertising agencies and the media companies. Heterosexual men place emphasis on women athletes looks and should focus more on their skills as athletes.
Women’s tennis needs a dominant force and if Maria remains motivated she can win a lot more slams. The veterans are retiring or are fading fast. Serena Williams is thirty years old and hasn’t won a grand slam in two years. Serena was bounced in the first round of the French Open. Venus Williams lost in the second round of the French and she is also finished she will never win another grand slam. Kim Clijsters is retiring after the US Open in September. Who can challenge Sharapova consistently?
Perhaps Victoria Azarenka can be a threat to Maria but her serve is weak. Petra Kvitova the reigning Wimbledon champion has played terrible tennis this year and has not won a title. Li Na of China has disappointed tennis fans and has dropped out of the WTA top ten. Agnieszka Radwanska is a solid player but she lacks power to really challenge the top players. Radwanska has to hope the top women make errors in order to beat them.
Samantha Stosur has the big serve, huge forehand, and solid volleys but she is mentally fragile. Stosur always capitulates under pressure she never lives up to the expectations of the public and media. Stosur’s semifinal loss to Sara Errani was shocking because she had a 5-0 edge in their head to head. I am not sure if Samantha can win another grand slam? Stosur has the talent but she lacks the self belief that she can be a major force in women’s tennis.
Although Maria Sharapova is a diva she is still the only young player on the WTA Tour who has a champion’s mentality. Many young women such as Ana Ivanovic, Li Na, Svetlana Kuzntesova, Petra Kvitova, Samantha Stosur can’t handle the pressure of being a champion.
Time will tell if Maria can stay healthy and focused and if she does she can dominate the WTA Tour.
French Open Men’s Semifinals: Novak Djokovic Destroys Roger Federer 6-4 7-5 6-3 Advances To French Open Final!
Novak Djokovic blasted Roger Federer 6-4 7-5 6-3 in the second men’s semifinal at the French Open. The writing is on the wall for Federer, he is turning thirty-one in August and I can’t see him winning anymore slams. Federer hasn’t won a grand slam since the 2010 Australian Open.
Federer’s got to be thinking that his time is running out to win grand slams.
Federer is still the third ranked male tennis player in the world but he just can’t seem to beat Rafael and Novak in the slams anymore.
What can Roger possibly do when the number one and number two players in the world are better than him?
Djokovic and Nadal are only twenty five and twenty six years of age. By contrast, Federer is only going to get older he’s not as sharp on the court.
Some people believe Federer’s focus changed when he got married and had children with his wife Mirka. I believe Federer will continue to compete for maybe one more year but he has nothing left to prove.
The only way Federer is going to win a slam is he has to play perfect tennis to defeat Djokovic and Nadal and they must have a bad day. Federer is a great champion but today he looked lethargic and confused on the court. Roger didn’t change tactics he tried to out hit Novak but that’s a stupid strategy. Novak is six years younger than Roger and he’s a lot quicker and more powerful. Novak used the correct strategy attacking Roger’s one-handed backhand and pummeling him into submission.
Meanwhile, in the first men’s semifinal Rafael Nadal destroyed his close friend and Spanish countryman David Ferrer 6-2 6-2 6-1.
Former Gay Porn Star Dakota Cochrane Is Now Attempting To Break Into FX Reality Show Ultimate Fighter.
News broke a few days ago that former Sean Cody gay porn star Dakota Cochrane has made the final thirty two for the FX reality show Ultimate Fighter. The top fifteen will appear on Ultimate Fighter and compete for a contract. Cochrane used the name “Danny” when he appeared in sixteen gay porn films for Sean Cody. A simple google search and visit to http://www.seancody.com and you can see Cochrane in all his glory. Cochrane claims he made $80,000 dollars performing in gay porn but he says he hated it.
I am guessing some gay men see Dakota Cochrane as some hero because he did not deny he appeared in gay porn. However, everyone knows on the internet there are no secrets. Cochrane is distancing himself from his gay porn past he says he was desperate for money.
Dakota also says he is completely straight and he plans to marry his girlfriend. I believe the producers of the Ultimate Fighter will allow Cochrane to appear on the show due to ratings. Although Dakota Cochrane claims he is straight, he can still appeal to gay viewers. The controversy will provide FX with a ton of press.
I am a bit disappointed though that Dakota Cochrane states he is completely straight. There is so much negativity in society still about male homosexuality and I think a gay athlete that is proud to be gay would break a lot of barriers. I think Dakota is at least bisexual, but that’s just my personal opinion.
