WHY THE MILITARIZATION OF TENNIS?

When I was a young lad watching Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe and playing tennis against myself on the neighbours back garden wall tennis was full of one-handed cross court backhands and serve-and-volleys.

Nowadays tennis players have weapons.

I heard one commentator recently say on BBC, "...that's a great weapon to have in his armoury".

Say what?

I hope he was talking about a forehand down the line.

Within a few years yoga positions will be 'weapons'.

Love will be a 'weapon'

Everything will be a weapon, and you will be encouraged to believe that you are permanently at war with everyone, even with yourself, and that you need big government to protect you, even from yourself.
