We never knew you could be ‘unsportsmanlike’ with a water bottle
Tennis badboy™ Nick Kyrgios has been fined after doing this at the annual forerunner to Wimbledon, the Queen’s Club tennis tournament.

Oh, I say! One of the BBC’s more unusual on-air apologies, we presume.
Here’s what people made of it online after the player was fined €15,000 (£13,184) for, er, “unsportsmanlike conduct”.
That was 12-year-old humour from Kyrgios, but this seems ridiculous to me. https://t.co/8B6ox5S1Qp

Is this a) funny or b) worthy of the 15,000 Euros fine imposed today by ATP for unsportsmanlike conduct? Just as people complain that politicians are scripted but then get angry at unscripted remarks, tennis fans complain male players are boring but hate a great player who isn't: https://t.co/vKSJk9gsIF

I cannot stop laughing at that Kyrgios video, how can anyone find the energy to be mad about it considering …….. literally everything else in the world today
