How rubbish was that? Choosing a mediocre basketball player instead of Federer?
Wayde wasn't even americain sportsman of the year!!! This is what i call glocalization, the trying of making global what is local! You can argument that S.I. it's american magazine, okay, so just choose americain sportsman of the year don't call it sportsman of the year!! This is just about money, marketing and selling some americain products, some american images in the global marketing of sports. What about sports? what about true merit?
In other sense this is about what i sometimes wrote of americain biased thinking that is so clear in this forum. I just ask something: if Federer was americain who doubt that he would had won the S.I. sportsman of the year in the last 3 years? Or that some trolls would had putted sampras in there "memoires arquives" and would praise all the time federer?

Murray deserves to win it i think

okay, maybe when S.I. makes the wishfull thinking sportsman of the year!!!

fantastic good point

Its SI and they choose Americans almost always.
Nobody takes them seriously.

He doesn't even deserve British Sportsman of the year ;)

I understand that you're a huge Murray fan, but be realistic ;)

i just wished that pre-moderators were pc :badpc:
