Wiseguy 214 Posted July 9, 2016 I can understand words said in the heat of the moment But is there really any need for him to swear down the microphone at the biggest event in British Speedway I'm no prude, I've worked in environments when every other word is a swear word, but speedway is a family sport I am losing respect for our world champion more and more, I was watching that with my kids 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted July 9, 2016 Woffinden is a great rider, but this isn't the first time he`s let himself down by using bad language, he needs to be professional at all times. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted July 9, 2016 I didn't see (or hear) the interview in question or who the interviewer was but there is no excuse for using such words when you are representing your sport on the media. To be honest I get slightly frustrated with some of the daft questions in some interviews, usually from people who are simply there as eye candy, it would be better if interviews came from former riders or even current ones who aren't involved in that particular meeting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Nobody can doubt Tai's ability as a rider. He has a talent. However that's no excuse for his arrogance and ego. yes he is world champion but so was Hancock and he is still grounded. There's no need for the swearing and the lack of respect. Turning his back on the Country that helped him develop his skill didn't help either. They say you should always remember where you came from and how you behave when at the top, as you never know how long is will be before it ends. Speedway is a family sport but I don't think Woffy is currently a good role model. He needs to start growing up. Edited July 9, 2016 by mdmc82 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOBODY 538 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Arrogant brat he has become. He wanted the praise and limelight from the British crowd for himself, but as he didn't win he decided to steal the show from the real winner in more ways than one. Got no time for him. What made me laugh though was Pearson saying it was his (Woffinden) big night at the end of the meeting!! Both gobsh1tes in my book.

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I really am getting worried about Tai's attitude. He seems to be moving past healthy confidence into arrogance. Swearing in interviews isn't exactly a major crime but it isn't the wisest of choices. It may impress the 'kids' but it will repel many others and probably sponsors. There are more intelligent ways of taking on 'the establishment' and being a rebel. It's all fine while things are going well but it could backfire on him when things start going wrong. Still, he's young, British and the World Champion. I just wish I could warm to him. Hopefully it's just a phase. Edited July 9, 2016 by rmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
