While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

The only golf that guy would be playing after this is mini golf at home.Comment

How many high profile sports can you name where such behavior would be acceptable?
Racist or not Terry should have been fired same day - and never get a job again in high profile sports. Same goes for A Ferdinand who appears to have provoked him.
Maybe the FA will do the right thing and ban both for life...

Swearing isn't nice, but it happens in highly competitive situations. It is well known in football and cricket, but it would probably surprise you to know that golfers swear, as do polo players, rugger buggers, jockeys, in fact nearly every sport where a participant has the breath or time to to so.
And it helps. If you don't understand that, then you seriously know nothing about sport.
Never mind the psychological impact on your opponent (which may or may not work), it helps you perform better, and recently there were experiments to test the effect on physical performance. Two groups were asked to put their hand in a bucket of ice-cold water to see how long they could stand it for. One group were told to remain silent, the other could swear and use profanities. The second group lasted twice as long in the bucket.Last edited by Doggy Styles; 15 July 2012, 08:04.Comment

If they really can't handle it then they should try to do it in some weird foreign language like Chinese or French - at least it would sound nice.Comment
