A Chick with a Pick
I'm unwilling to pigeon hole myself politically, but if forced,
I would happily place myself in the 'frustrated feminist' box.
If I was around in the early part of the twentieth century
I'd have been more than happy to burn bras with the
Suffragettes, as it's a literally evil contraption.
The bra-burning remains a point of contention amongst the
modern day collection of men-haters, but the fact that these
freedom-fighters went on hunger strike to promote their
cause is a recorded fact; although they may have just wanted
to lose a bit of weight in order to catch a husband.
Lefty troublemaker Emmeline Pankhurst would have got her
reinforced knickers in a twist over Wimbledon's antiquated
policy of paying the men more than the bints. In the All
England Club's defence, they probably had to insure against
a cushion dispute escalating into violence, or a mouse
stopping play. This year, the lovely ladies will receive
identical restitution to their completely equal in every way
male counterparts.
Amelie Mauresmo will be ecstatic with this development.
The reigning ladies champion looks a great shout at 12/1
to get her shovel-hands on the improved wedge. Grass
courts always suit the big hitters, and they don't get any
bigger than the gigantic Frenchman.
In the men's draw, big things are expected of rising star
Andy Murray. A good run may well lead to the injury-
prone Sweaty being promoted to a Brit.
Roger Federer is the man they all have to beat. The Swiss
genius has a backhand so strong; Lee Chapman can only
look on in envy. The Fed Express is a good thing at 4/9.
Organisers expect to sell 60,000 pounds of strawberries
and 1,500 gallons of cream during the Wimbledon fortnight,
although that figure will collapse if Frank Lampard fails to show.
Tim Henman will definitely turn up, but he'll be lucky to see
the second round.
The Copa America kicks off on Tuesday and it's a straight two
horse war between the Brazilians and the Argentineans. The
Samba Boys will be without a tired Kaka and Ronaldinho has also
withdrawn following advice from his dental hygienist. I'm getting
my teeth into the Argies at a delightful 17/10.
Controversy surrounds Wayne Rooney's involvement in Ricky
Hatton's super-fight against Jose Luis Castillo. Wayne is a now
so nervous about his role, there's a real chance that he may drop
his belt in Las Vegas. Castillo has looked jaded following his wars
with Corrales, the 4/7 for the Hitman is particularly striking.
The final of the Under-21 Championships will pit the total football
of the Dutch against the thuggish Serbs. I'll be on Holland at 11/10
as beauty will always beat the beast in the end. You should really
follow me in on this one: I'm a leading expert in the field of beast-
beating.Labels: Betting, Copa America, Wimbledon
