Nadal: to sleeve or not to sleeve

Ending the week on a lighter note, courtesy of Harper’s Magazine: a look at the debate surrounding tennis star Rafael Nadal’s new wardrobe. Not that there’s much to debate – a Nike sponsorship is what it is – but everyone needs to have their say:

“It took me such a long time to like Rafa. He was too colorful, too shirtless, too tan, too apache. Now that I’ve gotten to like him, Nike presents me with the black socks. Well, I’m not going to get used to that! I cross my arms and refuse to look at him. You lost me, Nike.”

As of August 28, Rafa is still sleeved.
