Meanwhile in the NFL or NBA players get penalized for sneezing too loud near the refs.

This is a full out toddlers temper tantrum, like they dont even let you behave this way in kindergarten. Dude should be embarrassed that he did that in public.. let alone on a broadcast

If there’s one thing all sports have in common, if you embarrass the referee/judge, you will be penalized.

My favorite part about baseball is that some managers will deliberately get tossed by the Plate Umpire as a show of solidarity to a player.

It's part of the fun of baseball. Manager gotta front up to get the "You're outta here" finger.

Yeah, I prefer to talk about the things kindergartens get to that I don't get to. Like mid day naps in their schedule.

I think he should have gotten a warning + point penalty and more considering he smashed three in a row. That said players do get penalized for outbursts especially with regard to officials. Djokovic got thrown out of the us open for hitting a ball at lone judge not that long ago.

Or showing the referee camera evidence that their call was wrong.

raktoe t1_j85msgr wrote

Bringing a camera on field deserves to get you tossed. Call has to be made real time, refs don’t get the opportunity to get multiple takes of the play.

Which is not the case with VAR in soccer, already proven instrumental for better calls.

I’m sorry, when was the last time a ref kicked someone out for using the VAR?

fane1967 t1_j88ib85 wrote

Patrick Beverley was penalized for proving the referee he was blind. Bringing in camera evidence to support a correct referee call is the essence of VAR.

He was suspended for challenging a call using VAR?

Penalized by the referee for bringing in video evidence that the referee was blind, yes.

raktoe t1_j88utdd wrote

Ah, so he didn’t use a proper challenge system, he just brought a random camera onto the court. Correct me if I’m wrong, no one has been suspended for correctly challenging for a video review in any sport?

fane1967 t1_j88x1fd wrote

Never knew that whatever anyone (e.g. bystander or reporter) could video record and present in a non-edited fashion is worth discarding.

You see, being occasionally wrong is not such a big deal. Rejecting evidence that shows you’re wrong is just plain stupid.

raktoe t1_j891i8u wrote

You understand the referees legally can’t overturn a call based on that right? No, you probably don’t.

Tennis players do get penalized for smashing racquets, they just don't show it in the clip. On top of that, Yonex, which is his racquet sponsor, also fines their players for smashing their racquets.

Nadal once said he’ll never smash a racket because there are lots of kids who would love to have a tennis racket, also he thinks it’s a bad example and he wasn’t raised that way.

Great man.

Bulbasaur2000 t1_j9hhcax wrote

The commenter implied each is $200, which is retail price. At least very good players get specially designed and personalized racquets that are suited to their needs (I know Nadal does), so I imagine they cost more

1

deeefoo t1_j9kxxz1 wrote

Generally speaking, the retail price for a high-end tennis racquet would be around $200, give or take. But that's for retail models that people like me and you can buy off the shelf. Professional players don't use retail models, they use custom racquets that are personalized to their specific needs and playing styles, which may bump up the price a bit. I think that's what they were referring to.

marche_au_supplice t1_j9m9eg4 wrote

Fair I thought he was saying more than $600 which I think is getting unrealistic, but for multiple $600 would be reasonable

When other tennis racquets hear about this, you can be assured that they will try harder!

ughlacrossereally t1_j84neym wrote

all these people angry about this... it's literally the most interesting part of tennis. Every match should have a part in the middle like in street fighter with the car. '60 seconds to destroy 5 racquets'

I’m more annoyed that he left the racket on the floor for someone else to pick up. Most players at least clean up after themselves.

Satanifer t1_j851gca wrote

This guy can eat a *duck. My daughter played high school tennis with a Walmart racquet her freshman year. She worked in the summer to scrape up money to buy a higher end racquet. She wept the first time it got a scratch on it. This guy should donate his next 100 racquets to some kids who appreciate them. Edit: here is a quote from a class act tennis player for context, “There are kids who would love to have a tennis racquet, so I will never break a racquet. If I lose, it’s my fault. Not my racquet’s.” - Rafael Nadal

Well he lost, so he goes home now. But I get what you're saying, I'm a lifelong tennis player and fan, I think a smashed racquet should be an immediate ejection from the tournament.

Lol I am not going to take a screen shot of every tweet or Facebook post or tiktok I’ve seen of men saying this but here is an interesting article on how men have been socialized to think that anger is an “acceptable” and “masculine” emotion.
