Stuff to Love

super.HEro.wIggIns.{a}Men.

Wiggins of Great Britain, Team Sky, is wearing the Yellow Jersey in the Tour de France after Stage 10.  Reporters and Twitter posts have been bleeding out the same line of shit trying to create a story: What about Doping?

Wiggins demonstrated his disdain for the media’s preoccupation as bottom feeders.  It’s great to hear an athlete take a stand against a tired line of questions and refuse a standard response that says as much as a politician on the campaign trail.  Wiggins has become a hero beyond the grace of wearing the Yellow Jersey.  He’s showing a public persona full of tenacity just like cycling’s beloved Badger.  Everyone loved the Badger {Bernard Hinault}; he was renowned for giving a straight answer to the media when they insisted on asking stupid questions.  You’ve got to love an athlete who’s not afraid to get back to the reality of being human and kick media slackers to the curb.

Wiggins: “I just said what I think.  If I’d lost my cool this table would have been on the floor and that’s the difference. I don’t feel like I need to sit here and justify to everyone.  I’m not some shit rider who has come from nowhere. . . .”

When asked: “What do you say to the cynics who think that you have to be doped up to win the Tour de France?”

After a pause, Wiggins replied: “They are just f***ing w*****s. I cannot be doing with people like that. It justifies their own bone-idleness because they can’t ever imagine applying themselves to anything in their lives. It’s easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter rather than get off their arses in their own life and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something, and that’s ultimately it. C***s!”

Wiggins is my new Super-Hero. Animaux.
