Is Tendulkar a jerk?

Discuss.

I always knew sledger believed Tendulkar was Bradman's equivalent. This is proof.

 

[indiaholic]

He is rich and doesn't want to pay a 200% tax on his ferrari. Bernie Sanders probably hates him.

 

[Spikey]

don bradman never had an abysmal attendance record as a member of parliament

 

[sledger]

Bradman never hogged the limelight and deliberately deprived younger and more deserving players of a place in the batting order either.

 

[indiaholic]

This is true. And while Bradman was kind enough to state that Tendulkar's batting reminded him of himself; Tendulkar never returned the compliment.

 

[Spikey]

it's fair to say only a jerk never bats at number 3

Sachin is 100% a dude who sees footage of Bradman and thinks he looks crap

When asked what player he would pay to watch, Tendulkar replied with Lara. Implying that he didn't think any other player was worth paying to watch. Elitist capitalist.

Tendulkar inspired Kohli to play cricket and thus increased the net jerkiness in the world.

I'd never actually thought of this, but by Timothy you are right.

A lot of people in India love Dravid and hate Tendulkar. Things I have heard from fans -

1) Tendulkar didn't stand up to match fixing and spoke up openly about it and so many other issues in Indian cricket like he should have.
2) He plays to the galleries unlike RSD.
3) Tendulkar makes a lot of money selling his autographs. To a lot of fans, he signs in a poor fashion so that he can keep selling his autographed memorabilia for high prices. This comes from a guy who hates Tendulkar with a vengenance. I have seen a few autographs by him since then for his fans and he has signed them all quite properly, ftr.

Lara compared Tendulkar to Jordan and Ali. Both noted jerks.

Gave Boria Mazumdar employment. Jerk.

SRT used to not like taking the first strike in ODIs and poor Ganguly had to face the first ball of the inning. Ganguly once recounted how they discussed that for a particular game, he wanted to be off strike starting off. As soon as they reached the middle, Ganguly found Tendulkar standing at the runner's end.

sledger and Pratters on the same page. Must be hurting sledger so much.

 

[sledger]

Got to combine to take down the greater evil tbh.

Kambli attempted Tendulkarsque jerkiness by whining about him in a reality show, Tendulkar responded with exponential jerkiness by not mentioning him in his retirement speech.
