What if social warming, but fuelled by money?
The trouble (another one) with sports betting
French tennis star Gaël Monfils recently took to social media to deliver a humorous and self-aware message to fans who bet on his matches. In a candid video, Monfils, 35, questioned the logic of gamblers who continue to wager on him, especially after his recent struggles and a "broken leg" injury. Speaking directly to the camera, Monfils playfully remarked, "You're writing that I'm shit, I know I'm shit, we both know I'm shit, and you still bet on me?" He highlighted the challenge of playing his first grass-court tournament against a younger opponent, 20-year-old Alex Michelsen, further emphasizing his point. The veteran player also briefly addressed an unusual comment about his skin color, asserting its irrelevance to his on-court performance. Despite his humorous self-deprecation, Monfils clarified that he is "not suffering," indicating his resilience. His lighthearted yet direct approach resonated with fans, drawing numerous comments and shares across social media platforms.
