Terrible Tennis Bros

Michael Marrup

In high school I had a friend named Mike Marrup, he was a tennis player. He claimed to be about 160 but in reality he was a fat 170, he would say "up top bro!" when he wanted a two handed overhead high-five and would flex his "trap" when ever the song Real Big by Mannie Fresh came on. Woof, his behavior makes me shudder to this day, but as time has gone on and I have seen/interacted with other tennis players I've come to realize it was not his fault. Similar to the way racist childcare's parents are to blame for their bigotry, likely low test scores and and love of Jeff Foxworthy.

Tennis players inherently suck for reasons for which there is no consensus. My theory is that because tennis has waspy roots, they feel entitled and superior in a way that should be reserved only for polo players. This sense of entitlement leads to several unacceptable behaviors. Possibly the worst behavior is their love of the backwards hat, they are the only group of people who still religiously rock the backwards had like its the mid 90's. Another important issue us that they constantly talk about tennis players who are not Venus or Sarina Williams, Federer, or Nadal. Tennis

some hawt get-ups


players are also always dressed like they are ready to throw down, carrying a tennis bag which may contain 12 rackets, short but loose shorts, a neon green tee from a tennis camp they "coached" at, and of course they are walking the generic adidas or nike mesh backwards hat. If they want to dress up a little they may thrown on a nice d-3 football coachesk nike polo. I feel the low point for tennis tools may have came the day I saw a coach at the airport-a place where it used to be expected to dress nicely -wearing black adids shorts a yellow stained adidas sports polo who had a tan on his face from his tightly wrapped Jeff Era Oalkleys. Tennis is producing the worst element of our society.
