Top Of Mind

In the wake of David Foster Wallace’s piece on Federer in yesterday’s NYTimes, the paper is allowing readers to share their thoughts on whether Federer is the best tennis player ever to play the sport. Kudos to William Tapia who got the first comment in:

“I like to watch tennis and this is a beautiful sport, but this is not a proper or interesting subject for comment at a moment of turnoil and war in some parts of the world. A discussion on the Middle East would be more suitable and is on our mids [Sic] now.”
