Probably deserves a thread of its own, but I will just add it to last year`s thread.
Whispered Secret did you watch the tennis last night, the girl done really good, in a fantastic match Tim Henman had it spot on when he said that neither girl took a backward step, and although the score might not suggest it the match was very close. Lets hope she gets well looked after and can stay fit and healthy for years to come.
@whispered secret You should have seen the comments on the BBC website after the match. Hundreds of xenophobic remarks about Chinese and Romanians. I haven't checked again but hopefully BBC removed them. As an aside, the comments on the DAily Mail about Bruce yesterday weren't much better. Lots of angry sick people it seems.
I'm thrilled Emma won, but I also just want to celebrate two young women, both of mixed heritage, being so utterly brilliant.
My worry for Emma (sad to say) is that say she gets knocked out in first round of Wimbledon she will be treated to the abuse suffered by our three young footballers.
It appears that Margaret was suffering from post-partum depression. Instead of medical treatment (or as well as) she became involved with religion ... her particular faith bringing her to her views which she still holds. Did she have these views previously? Did she become and is still affected by her situation back then? Is she just bad-spirited and mean?
Whatever the reason, I hope people can be understanding and, unlike Margaret, try to refrain from being judgmental. In general, not this Board in particular.
Should the arena have a name-change? If the majority think so then yes. Personally ... yes. It's a name on a building - she still holds the record because she was darned good. They can't take that away from her. I hope.
I wonder, well I doubt, if the Express sees the irony of side by side headlines?

I agree.
Court was a great player, nobody would dispute that, but her disgusting homophobia is abhorrent and is an embarrassment for the sport.
