on champions or so they r called

yesterdays formula one championship had sometihing that i ve been observing a lot in sports...fernando alonso acting like[or rather being] a spoilsoprt and sore loser...trying to block the young upstart[as he would see it] lewis hamilton.for that -he was awarded a four place drop...he's fuming...wonder why.last year micheal schumarkar did the very same thing to him and got [penilised for it.at that point alonso was very vocal about it and said that shumi may have won a lot of races but that he is not a true champion and that many people do not really like him...all of which may be true-but this year-the reigning 'champion' has scumbelled to the very same disease...sour loser...in cricket too i have noticed how the aussies play the game brilliantly and with a lot of team work and ofcourse-goes without saying -sledging- but when they are under pressure and the other team is thrashing them-then its mostly ---MAMMA...i remember when glenn mcgrath-a great bowler in his own right-was sledging sarwan-saying things bout sarwans mum-n sarwan gave it back to him and said something about mcgraths wife-[who at that point had cancer...how was sarwan supposed to know...]so is mcgrath more justified simply because sarwans mother is healthy...is a person who has taken more wickets than any other fast bowler in history-a supposit great champion really that...i dont know.as has been said-once your rich enough -u can afford to have morals...
