Posted on May 9, 2010 by Admin

Do Tennis stars have to conform to an expected “Rock Star”, secular code of behavior? From an Indian friend:

“In the 21st century when women are claiming their rightful place in the world as equal to men after centuries of oppression, Sania Mirza has chosen to become the second wife of a Pakistani muslim in a polygamous marriage. Bravo Sania, way to go wasting all that fight for women’s empowerment. I was wondering why Sania bothers with the mini skirts for tennis when her mentality is still in a Burkha.
Oh no..What has she greatly achieved so far? to be a rolemodel? HOW MANY GRANDSLAMS SHE HAS WON, TO BE SAID AS INTERNATIONAL STAR OR QUEEN OF TENNIS? She has been over hyped, just because of her dress, looks and being a poster girl, all for cheap publicity. WE CAN SAY SAINA NEHWAL IS A CHAMPION, BUT DEFINITELY NOT THIS WOMAN. I FEEL GLAD THAT SHE WILL LEAVE INDIA, AND LET OUR COUNTRY GET SOME REALLY TALENTED SPORTSPERSONS FOR TENNIS.”
