See the AO Order of Play Sunday 2/1/2009 Day 14 thread for more on THIS hot topic. But, I must thoroughly and respectfully (I hope

) disagree. He CRIED. Big deal. AND- now his legacy is "marred, sadly forever"?!?!? Oh, please. (Yep, respectfully just went out the window.

) If you want to go as far as marring Roger's record forever, then allow me to go just as far in the other direction to go on some diatribe about how, for too many men, the likes of men who lose with dignity by bottling everything up explains why so many men are so constriced and emotinally stunted and die of heart attacks and are violent and......OR, an alternate theory just might be that SOME men are quiet with defeat because this matches their personalities hopefully (the Aussie code, for example), while others have to let it out.

As one of many examples I can come up with (and posted on the Order of Play thread)- please do let me know how Arthur Ashe's legacy was tarnished when he cried after losing to Nastase after the 1972 US Open final.
