The power of love: Etienne Cardiles’ moving eulogy for his husband Xavier Jugele

Posted on April 26, 2017 | 1 comment

French cop killed by gunman in ParisFrench cop, Xavier Jugele, was 37 when he was murdered while on duty last week in Paris, after a gunman opened fire on the Champs-Élysées avenue. Xavier’s husband, Etienne Cardiles, gave an amazing eulogy to all of France (and now the world) translated below in the video that has since gone viral.

Perhaps what struck me the most aside from how poised Etienne was through his eulogy was how endearing and sentimental he was talking about Xavier. His repudiation of violence saying he will “suffer without hatred” is so poignant it made me emotional when watching so beware – you’ve been warned – have tissues nearby when you watch this two minute video.

Thanks to Francois, Jerome and Thibaut for sharing this with Sergio and Me.

Dominic Thiem butt distracts TV commentators

Posted on April 24, 2017 | 9 comments

Dominic Thiem’s ass is a major distraction on and off the courts

Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem has more than just a great tennis game. In 2020 Thiem’s assets made another wave on Instagram which I wrote about here, Dominic Thiem’s ass distracts us again.

Back in 2017, ATP Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem was ranked number 9 in the world, but the commentators for his match in the Barcelona Open clearly thought (and talked) a great deal about his “assets”. Should Rafa Nadal be worried. You can decide by checking out Rafa Nadal’s 2015 Tommy Hilfigger underwear commerical.

One commentator said, “He’s got a nice, strong, big ‘tookus’!”, and his compliments didn’t stop there, adding, “I’m not even joking. The butt is a huge source of power, and he’s so strong in his base. He’s so strong, and it’s a huge origin of his power”.

tennis, underwear

No comment other than to say you can be the judge – follow the link below to the article on attitude.co.uk that initially reported the story. Wouldn’t sports be far more interesting if we could have this commentator here in the US?
