Roger's Choice: TENNIS or TWINS?

For those who know me, this goes without saying...For those who don't, here's my DISCLAIMER: Roger Federer is my favorite tennis player AND my favorite human being. Seriously. Nobody else even comes close. I fully admit I'm OBSESSED with RF and by posting this topic, I intend NO disrespect to he who must be respected ALWAYS. Also - the point of this topic is much bigger than the typical "Roger sucks" or "Nadal is #1" so if you want to share those type of comments, please take them elsewhere. K? K. Thanks.

SO.....We all see that Roger's struggling (sad but true) but I've been wondering WHY he's struggling. Is he getting too old? Now that he's accomplished everything and more, does he not "want" to win as much as he did? Or is it (as Danny thinks) much more simple than that: The reason Roger is not winning is because of THE KIDS.

This reminds me of my favorite lecture given by my favorite Penn State professor (seems like a million lifetimes ago but it's still so relevant): CHOICES. The class was a Western Civilization Literature or some such thing but the point that stuck with me was that ALL things cannot be Priority #1 in your life. By extension, I think my professor would say that Roger must CHOOSE his priority in his life...Is it TENNIS or is it his beautiful baby TWINS? Or is this a ridiculous question, lol. Hey - I'm no philosopher. Just a frustrated FED fan!

Now what do YOU think? Thanks in advance for your thoughtful responses and let's see if we can solve this all-important question! :)

It is NO secret that Roger Federer is
my favorite tennis player AND my favorite human being.
WHY?
Well, I'm sure it's quite obvious, lol.
He is a beautiful person on the outside and on the inside.

Take a moment and think about all the despicable
behavior we see from people who are
highly paid and PRIVILEGED enough to
play a GAME for a living.
Hello - Tiger Woods, Mark McGuire, Michael Vick...
Sadly, the list goes on and on and on...

BY COMPARISON, Roger is always a CLASS ACT.
What a true pleasure it is to be associated with a sport that
has such a gracious, graceful individual as its ambassador.
 
If Roger's playing, I schedule my life
so I can watch and cheer him on.
That includes staying up all night, if necessary. :)
If anybody else is playing,
I'll watch only if I have nothing better to do...
and I always have something better to do!

I absolutely adore Roger Federer and
he will always be my champion.
Nobody else even comes close...sorry, Rafa.
Roger is a god to me.

The FED is great...Long live the FED.
