This post by Ang has inspired this thread. A place to define the spin put on the same news by different outlets according to their placemnt on the political axis

Well Lewis made a stand with the crap trophies...& made a difference...

Hopefully the silly fools at Wimbledon will see that they have made a blunder...Lewis is one of the top sportsmen in the world...imo THE BEST
But as has been said...it'll give the hacks summat to write about, between now & Hungary.
Last week a female tennis player was in bother, for wearing a black bra under her white stuff...

Last year the best player of his generation by far, the king of Wimbledon was refused entry to his own match for wearing the wrong trainers. He changed them after protesting that the rules were too restrictive

but dont expect any of our bright 'investigative' journalists to remember that, or to remember how it was 'cool' thing he did, when it comes to reporting news according to their agendas from left to right

Its funny seeing the different spins they come up with - Lets start with our dependable friends in Scotland - that bastion of monarchist pomp and etiquette, who can always be counted upon to have strong views about English drivers called Lewis.

The Daily record declared that Lewis had a 'hissy fit' at the match - although they then went on to say that he stayed for most of the match in the ante room.

I wonder what their agenda is?

An ex spurs player and Brundle talk sense!

Gary Lineker has described the decision not to allow Lewis Hamilton access to the Royal Box on Centre Court at Wimbledon as 'England at its pompous worst'.

The Formula One world champion was turned away on Sunday after arriving to watch the men's singles final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer while not wearing a jacket or a tie.

Hamilton, who wore a floral shirt and suede shoes to the All England Club, was forced to miss Djokovic's four-set victory - but Match of the Day presenter Lineker believes the strict dress code is outdated and could have been relaxed.

The former Tottenham striker tweeted: 'Might be me, but turning away @lewishamilton from the Royal box for not wearing a bloody jacket and tie shows England as its pompous worst.

'As expected many disagree. Actually it may all be about the crowd's dress sense rather than great sportspeople, sportsmanship and sport!'

Lineker's view was not shared by three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick, who also took to Twitter to have his say.

Replying to the 54-year-old's initial tweet, Roddick wrote: 'Even when the invite says "please wear a jacket and tie?" ... This obnoxious American is ok w (sic) it.'

The American had earlier poked fun at his own clothes after sporting an untidy tie during BBC commentary duties alongside former fans' favourite Tim Henman.

He tweeted: 'I am horrible at tying a tie. My apologies to classy people everywhere #Wimbledon #canttieatie'

Hamilton's choice of attire was backed by retired Formula One driver and Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle, who appeared less than impressed with the regulations.

He tweeted: 'If I invited Lewis Hamilton to an event I'd expect him to turn up looking like Lewis Hamilton, but rules are rules I guess.'

Hamilton, who said he was 'honoured' about his invite to the Royal Box before being turned away, was unhappy about missing another pulsating final between Djokovic and Federer.

A spokesman for the 30-year-old said: 'Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding regarding dress code at Wimbledon, Lewis is very disappointed to have missed the men's final.'

A Wimbledon spokesman said: 'If he was not adequately dressed you could infer that he would not have been let in, but we do not comment on our guests.

'If he came without a jacket, tie or shoes he would have had two choices - not staying or going to get some extra stuff.'

I think there's going to be a lot of "this" for some time to come.

More likely Brundle is saying what he knows Bernie would like to hear. The place has a right to cling to inbred and out of date traditions - nothing wrong there, thats what we sell to tourists along with the changing of the guard. And Lewis has a right to try his luck and decline, he even has a right to think that as F1 champ, they would rush to make an exception for him. Well they didnt, he didnt change - no problem with any of that

The problem is the way the media report it, the angle the take and the agenda - which is not in the interests of Bernie, so Brundle knows the right cheeks to kiss it seems

When Federer was ordered to go change his trainers last year the reporting was solely about how stiff the rules were etc.

The whole concept of the royal box is an affront to any modern society, just as well most of us are monarchists and not republicans in this country - and thats because the monarchy have not taken the piss too much as things evolve. Even (some) tax is been paid. Just as well its not France or somewhere that they really love been lorded over by heriditary rulers lol
