It comes back to the old adage " What happens on the sporting field stays on the sporting field "

Wouldnt go around spreading sexy tales, but on here validations can show who you have slept with and so everyone knows. If one of my mates banged a celeb, e.g. Jason Statham, I would high five her then go home and cry, consumed with jealousy........ But would not spread any gossip, no.

was also shown on the various news articles on the TV tonight showing his 'temper'. Personally I think it's extremely poor form to carry on like that - I think sledging is just a poor way to try and distract the opposition when you don't have the talent to do your job in the first place, and have to resort to 'underhanded' tactics. I am also not of the type to provide gossip for the masses, particularly with people whom I don't know and therefore don't know how that information will be disseminated. Have always been faithful with information provided in confidence and have NEVER passed on anything that shouldn't have been. Regarding celebrities I also wouldn't pass on anything that they wouldn't want to be known. As it happens I actually know quite a few but would not let anyone know who so as not to have others try and impinge on my friendship with them. I did go to school with Jon English, but that's as far as I'll go here. Tall

Keep the spoken words for the commentary box, not the on-floor competitors/officials. Kyrgios said what he said without any tantrum or show, it should've just been left on court. I'm not a fan of sledging, I don't engage in it because IMO it is beneath me. But this daft notion of "gentleman's sport" is fine for your recreational sport where people have a hit, a giggle and beer afterwards - but not in higher level sports where you're playing for sheepstations. They're competing at a more intense level - words will be said. Thank god we don't have mics in mine, last thing I want is having our language sprayed across Foxtel when we're explaining to some fellow that due to his dirty play we think he is a grub of the most egregious kind.

Dear Nick Kyrgios, I slept with your mum last night. Don't worry, she wasn't cheating, as your dad also joined in. - Posted from rhpmobile

Can be effective (and funny!) when done right, but the fact Kyrgios dragged an 18 year-old woman into this who now has to worry about her reputation (and the other guy too) is utterly disgusting in my view.

Yes, I couldn't have said it better myself. So do you think this is a sign of K's immaturity or just no thought to how it would impact on others or just plain selfish act trying to use others for his own benefit eg. putting Wawa off his game? There are people I have come across who are clueless about their impact on others and continue on their way throughout their lives. I think maybe because K was caught out by the courtside microphone and it has blown up in his face that maybe he has learned a lesson. JMO. LG

Whether it is true of not doesn't matter. You don't go out on that field without some sort of bravado and a REALLY bad attitude or you get crushed. If you can 'size up' somebody by talking bad about them and get them agitated, then you succeeded in your mission.Psychological warfare.I was in basic training in the Army, where the D.I. would scream in our face about other mom (the best part of you ran down your mamas leg), sister (your sister is a lousy fuck), etc. we would sing songs about while we are marching 'Jodi' (the neighbor back home) driving our car and banging our girl friend.'aint no use in looking back, jodi's got your Cadillac'.it was a brain game.life in the big city.only the P.C. media that is desperate for news makes a mountain out of a molehill. The only dirtbags here are the MEDIA who blabbed GOSSIP for the whole country to hear.

can be amusing but the retorts can be priceless. From the cricket. "Hey B**ch@r why are you so fat ?" "Because every time I fuck your wife she gives me a biscuit"

I hate sledging when I watch sports. I find it bad form and a weakness of the competition to have to resort to it. That said when I am on the field I love it. I love that it bounces of me harmlessly and I take the piss out of what is said and laugh about it taking the piss out of myself. When I was playing cricket I used to chat to the fielders and sing songs as I was batting, that tends to shut them up and gives them a laugh. The best one was a young American was here and was playing against us, he came out with a chant of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 10... 11,12. so I looked at him and sang the answer back at him. It was a Sesame Street song and it cracked him up. The thing that cracks me up the most though is the majority of sledging out there is just unintelligent bullshit no thought process at all and not the slightest bit of cleverness. Might as well be an ape like grunt

He is actually a pretty good player! He doesn't have to resort to sledging in any form, be it to put opponents off or for any reason. The ashes team however... :) - Posted from rhpmobile

I have played a lot of cricket and sledging is common. However it is usually confined to how bad their opponents technique is or lucky shot etc etc and often tinged with humour. Even if it is personal like the examples previously mentioned it so outrageously untrue a humorous reply is usually the end of it. However I have never heard such a shocking and degrading sledge as the Krygios one. He was obviously privy to some private information which was degrading to all parties. Totally out of order in my opinion. Never kiss and tell your private activities or that of others I reckon. Why not say your 'your serve is like a butterfly on windy day' or something smart to do with tennis if you have to say anything at all. At the end of the day sledging is totally unnecessary and the sports people I respect most are the ones who let their bat, racquet etc etc do the talking.

I think his behaviour that was caught on mic is an indication of the type of person he is. Its one thing to swear and rant if things aren't going your way to let off some steam is one thing but what has Waw's sex life got to do with the game of tennis? I think if someone is capable of using this kind of nastiness during a game to inflict hurt then he is also more likely to use the same kind of behaviour in real life. JMO

I don't have an issue with sledging, most sports do it to try and get some advantage. I do not believe bringing in a third person (especially a young woman) is right. Bad.

Big difference though between insulting another player/using profanities, and dragging innocent parties into it.

Quoting 'Leo_girl' So do you think this is a sign of K's immaturity or just no thought to how it would impact on others or just plain selfish act trying to use others for his own benefit eg. putting Wawa off his game? i think it shows what a bad sport he is and how immature he is. Really poor form.

Interesting just reading a few comments on FB about this. People are saying that he didn't actually mention the woman's name....... it is the media who are doing that and are making into a big deal. saying she is sexually humiliated, etc. So, I don't think it was sporting of Nick to say it but they do have a point.

Poor girl didn't deserve to be dragged into his SHIT behaviour. They didn't need to publish her name... and certainly not her photo. Poor form, Media.

OMG someone said something to upset someone else in an effort to win a game of some sort. Well at least they are not starting a war and dropping bombs on children, that thankfully we can leave to the adults. I don't know what is worse, that people listen, or that people feel the need to make an issue out of something that should just have been ignored. Its so nice when someone else is bad, it justifies being able to talk about it, committing a sin to decry the sinners negates your sin does it not? I have never sinned so I feel I am thus able to give free comment. As for boasting about fucking someone, well there are people I would tell everyone that I fucked them, even if not asked, and there are others that I will deny to my grave, and then there are some i just cant remember the name of. There is nothing wrong with boasting, I boast about the awesome waves I caught, the chest beating competition I won, and the quality of the ditch I woke up in. Or I could sit around and talk about how great differential equations are and what lovely weather it is. The issue is not about what is being talked about it is about the appropriate context, and making sure my mum never hears.

Even if this comment hadn't been recorded and made public, he's damaging her reputation even if only with those involved. Her boyfriend may completely trust her, but trying to plant that little seed of doubt in his mind is a low thing to do regardless imo.

had no idea who he was. My first thought was, there is sledging in tennis, how funny? I went and listened to video, he doesn't mention her name. Is it any different to saying " I fucked your mum last night" or something similar? As young women playing softball and touch forty we were nasty in our sledging

how good a tennis player this dude is -but anyone who is acting disrespectful is a big zero in my eyes...Why would anyone name their lovers on live TV is beyond me - it does not matter if you are famous or the lover is famous or not..It is okay to talk about "conquests" (please do!) but respect the other person's privacy as you want yours to be respected - omit the names..if you cannot do that then avoid talking about the matter...simple as that :)

I'm out of the loop on the matter, but I did read this in the SMH today, which was an interesting take on sledging based on sexual activity. FitzSimons: "A piece of "friendly fire" feminist flak blindsided me on Friday. It came from a woman I admire, the ABC Breakfast host, Virginia Trioli.When I expressed on Twitter my outrage at Nick Kyrgios for his absolutely disgraceful sledge of Stan Wawrinka, putting into the public domain smutty allegation about the otherwise entirely private sex life of a 19-year-old woman on the ATP tour, Ms Trioli fired back on Twitter: "@Peter_Fitz But why is it 'the worst thing you can say' to imply that a woman has been with someone else, and not yours alone?'"

The ABC breakfast program and heard her comment...the point she was making was about the ownership of women...why is the worst thing you can say about a woman is that she has had sex with someone other than her current lover...xxFreya

Quoting 'Freya70' The ABC breakfast program and heard her comment...the point she was making was about the ownership of women...why is the worst thing you can say about a woman is that she has had sex with someone other than her current lover...xxFreya was the implication that she had fucked the other fellow while seeing the guy he was playing against? Thus trying to break his mental focus. (I don't follow tennis) Or was it just t break his mental focus to get him thinking about it? Most people don't enjoy imagining their partner fucking someone else, they know it happened, but it isn't a pleasant visual for them - like visualising your parents fucking, you know it must've happened, but you don't try to think about it. Hopefully it won't be too many more incidents before sporting bodies take the microphones away from the field of play and the sanctimonious bullshit that goes on when people in the midst of competition don't behave as paragons of virtue - unlike everyone else who would never say awful things to another person.

Have I died and accidentally got a crossed line to the pearly gate network, the perfect people floating on fluffy white clouds are all ranting on about their halos. These sports people are professionals, they play to earn money, taking a psychological advantage is part of the game, they are even trained to do so. I would not be surprised that what was said was a calculated and pre planed part of the game. With all the heat down here I am just cooling my brain with some of the rhetoric that I am sure I would hear from even the sinless of sinners if they had a few hundred K at stake. If what he said is truth, then he was right to say it, if it was a lie, then he will face civil action, all sports people come pre packaged with a shark pool you know. So my bet is that it was truth, and damned be all that rally to support the suppression of truth. And damned be cheaters what ever gender they may be

Just because it maybe true does not make it right to publicly air by betraying someone else's privacy for his own gain. Mind games between 2 players is one thing. I think most people are offended that he USED 2 other people to make his play. LG
