(8,103 posts)I went with the video. While BBC may be a credible news site, many news sites simply pick up the story and republish it. It doesn't matter that 20 sites say something. You just have to filter.
At the very start of the clip, you can see that he takes his racquet and attempts to swipe at the ref's right foot. Ref sees this and begins to lift his foot out of the way. But, the racquet keeps going and follows the arc up and hits the bottom of the foot, as the ref is lifting it.
Look, I don't care about this now. If the Ref himself wants to come on TV and state that he was not hit, that's fine. We'll settle then. But, no less than two replays appear on the clip, and both times it shows the same thing. This is worse than a nose-to-wire ending for a Derby race. This isn't the Super Bowl replay judge's territory.
What we can all agree on is that the guy is immature and should be sanctioned.
