Wtf is redbag being called racist? So what if some high profile sportsmen are black. As for Murray being popular, I think the jury is definitely still out. Of course he is talented, but people have long memories re the Paraguay shirt and he doesn't exactly ooze charisma when interviewed. I don't really follow tennis, what is the story of the "paraguay shirt", ty. |

Ah, ok i see it now, a lot of gullible tabloid readers.
Murray identifies himself primarily as "Scottish, but also British".[67][68] Prior to Wimbledon 2006, Murray caused some public debate[69] when he was quoted as saying he would "support anyone but England" at the 2006 World Cup. He received large amounts of hate mail on his website as a result.[70] It was also reported (incorrectly, it turned out) that Murray had worn a Paraguay shirt on the day of England's World Cup match with the South American team.[69] Murray explained that his comments were said in jest during a light-hearted interview with sports columnist Des Kelly,[71] who asked him if he would be supporting Scotland in the World Cup, in the knowledge that Scotland had failed to qualify for the tournament.[72] Kelly stated another tabloid had later "lifted a couple of them [comments] into a 'story' that took on a life of its own and from there the truth was lost" and that he despaired over the "nonsensical criticism".[73] Murray protested that he is "not anti-English and never was"[67] and he expressed disappointment over England's subsequent elimination by Portugal.[74] In an interview with Nicky Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live, Tim Henman confirmed that the remarks had been made in jest and were only in response to Murray being teased by Kelly[71] and Henman.[75] He also stated that the rumour that Murray had worn a Paraguay shirt was untrue.[75] In an interview with Gabby Logan for the BBC's Inside Sport programme, Murray said that he was both Scottish and British and was comfortable and happy with his British identity.[76] He said he saw no conflict between the two and was equally proud of them. He has also pointed out that he is quarter English with some of his family originating from Newcastle, his coach is Scottish and that his then girlfriend, Kim Sears, is English.[77] |
