3. Nope.

[Blue_true]

4. No, never. But I have seen other's do it.

For me, sports is about having fun. Why should I wig out and destroy something. I realize Serena's situation is far different, sports for her is a job. But even in my work, I don't get mad and destroy stuff.

Probably lots of people couldn't afford a racquet at.all, and that one was probably very expensive. I remember when they ran over a French horn on "MASH" once and I was wistful, because I wanted my own and we couldn't afford it.

20. I've coached and seen a pretty fair amount of amateur tennis.

Even among the kids who got free rackets and a bunch more in their bag, I never saw anyone angrily wreck a racket.

14. I played tennis throughout high school

and my poor trailer park-living ass would have been shit outta luck had I destroyed my only racquet.

I’ve also never flipped a table or thrown my dice or miniatures during a wargame, though I’ve seen both things happen more than once. Nerd rage is as sad as jock rage, perhaps more so because the stakes are even lower.

16. Why did John McEnroe get to vote multiple times???

[milestogo]

21. Same reason he got away with losing his temper for so many years.

He's one of the GOATs. Bigger than the sport. He deserves at least 10 votes.

[sarisataka]

17. Nope

I never got upset. I was the referee

[ProudLib72]

18. I've mistreated a bike or two. Does that count?

Never destroyed one, though.

[lame54]

19. Would you if it were...

Free and in abundance?

Much different when it comes out of your own pocket

[RainCaster]

23. I have a GSD who loves to pop tennis balls

Did that count?
