 Could never stand the guy. The grand slam championship is so misleading...it's in doubles...he sucked in singles....

I could see him doing what he is accused of....on Twitter he would automatically delete you if you disagreed with him on any topic.

Tennis fans get treated almost as shabbily as soap fans.

Now people will be forced to Tennis Channel, which let's be honest, isn't really having a great moment as a company right now.  Will Gimelstob be getting a salary from TC while he out facing assault charges?

I know people in the Caribbean and Latin America who got the same notice.  I think it's shut down for good, tbh.  They ceded to TC basically.  I don't subscribe to either (both are trash), so I'm not 100% certain.  

 

 

Speaking of Gimelstob, did anybody read this?

It's very sad how the ATP and Tennis Channel are covering this up and aren't doing anything about it. I am sure if this were someone else they'd have already reported it and gotten rid of the person. 

 

 

I hadn't heard of this....just ridiculous but then again I could see Justin doing this....

 

The story also focused on a fourth incident, based on testimony from three witnesses, when Gimelstob allegedly put his hand on the throat of an opponent at a paddle-tennis tournament in Los Angeles last year.

I know there aren't many Sharapova fans here but that article pretty much says its all....when her drug test came in dirty....everyone was all over it...Tennis Channel reporting it and talking about it at length as well as ESPN. Shame on them for covering this up for this loser.

It would be bizarre if Gimelstob were still working there when the new season starts but then again, I think tennis is so tone-deaf, they're probably hoping that people forget in a month so that they can sweep this highly disturbing history under the rug. He's had so many instances of violent conflicts, I don't know how that's possible but they likely will try.

    • Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well. 
    • TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.
    • You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

    • "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva. 
    • But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.
    • Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
