I think she's sort of sexy, is it just me?  It could be because I have a thing for tennis players.  Her partner is a Muslim, I think that's OK as long as it's advantageous for her.  After all, if someone is friends with a Jew and wants to play tennis with one professionally despite the objections of the crazies back at home, how Muslim can she really be?

I agree. 

I've also changed my opinion of Maria Sharapova.  I can't stand those commercials that were drooling over her during the 2006 US Open calling her "so pretty, so pretty..." 


So does that mean that Shaha Riza isn't much of a Muslim since Paul Wolfowitz was her bf?  Or that she basically disagrees with most of their views?

You know, I think sport is overemphasized in our society. I am not against sport per se. It is healthy and makes for good recreation. It is also a good character-builder and helps in raising strong citizenry. What I am against is the fetishized and too prominent place it occupies in our society. There is something pagan about it - makes me think of gladiators, Roman "bread and shows," etc... If I were to become a member of a new government, I would not outlaw sport - but would definitely tone down its over-exaggerated and exalted position in the media and national consciousness. It would certainly not be something reported on the front page of newspapers.

Often when professional athletes commit a crime, their punishment is too lenient.
