Don't Call Andy Roddick a Metrosexual

Andy RoddickAndy Roddick is not a fan of the man purse.

The tennis star has lashed out on his website against the growing English trend.  Roddick writes "I have seen some guys walking around with man purses here in London.... anything bigger than a money clip or a wallet is to be left to your girlfriend/wife...and just so we are clear you should not be able to throw your "wallet" over a shoulder...if you have a man purse, the wall is waiting."

While Roddick may have an issue with British style he hasn't let it affect his love of London, saying " I think I feel more at home here than in any other city we travel to."

Roddick, who is in England for Wimbledon, even gives his two cents on Kevin Federline and calls him the "Butthead of the Week,"adding "He really did nothing out of the ordinary, but let's be honest, this was inevitable."

Perhaps he saw K-Fed carrying a man purse.

16. You Know What? Just to begin with.....There is absolutely nothing wrong with his teeth. If you were a Roddick fan, you would know. Btw, this exerpt is from his weekly blog he writes on his official site. Your comments are annoying and uneducated. whatever.

17. For those of you who said that Andy is no longer the #1 Tennis player in the world i suggest you get your asses on court and try to hit a couple of balls! You won't even make it close to the top 500. It's easy to criticize people than appreciate them for what they achieve! So i think despite not having such a great year being in the top 5 is pretty damn good not to mention being seeded 3rd at Wimbledon, the most prestigious Tennis tournament. Undoubtedly, he's as man enough as it gets! And as far as fashion goes i think his is pretty cool! How many of you are sponsored by Lacoste, i mean come on...give me a break! I back up the last comment, please proceed to the nearest wall !!!!

18. It's just a blog he wrote.
There are much worse things to worry about, you should not worry about a blog.
You should laugh with this.
The guy just has an opinion...

19.
about the teeth... look at other pictures of him, he has nice teeth and about the most beautiful smile on a man.

He's NOT gay, I would not even go as far as to say he's a metrosexual. *rolls eyes*

and finally, like vanessa says... if you were a fan you would know what the other references were.

20. Oh God. Woot! You guys are SO cool insulting someone you don't know and probably never will! Woah. How DARE Andy express his opinion in his OWN BLOG on his OWN website? Stupid Andy! He wasn't thinking......Noticing the sarcasm yet? Someone said "who does Andy think he is" Excuse me, but who do you think YOU are trashing someone? FYI, He is the number 1 American Player, genius, and if you don't care about Roddick then just don't comment! Jesus!

21. And another thing....Someone said "Who does he think he is?" My question to you: Who do you think YOU are, exactly? And for your information...Andy Roddick is the best mens tennis player in the United States right now. A Nobody, huh? Notice my sarcasm or are you too genius to? I guess it's easier to sit back and trash people though. Another thing you would understand if you ever read his blog.

22. Also...to the person who said "Who does Andy think he is?" My question to who: Who the hell do you think YOU are? What right do YOU have criticizing Andy Roddick? He writes weekly blogs for his Fans and if you are not a fan, then you don't need to make rude comments. FYI genius..he IS the number one tennis player in America. Another quote from Roddick's Blog:

- ok so how does Da Vinci Code get trashed? I am convinced movie critics get paid for negativity…Where do they get off criticizing when they have never gone down the road of making a movie…I guess it is easier to sit back, watch, and trash.

Yes, I think that applies to some of you, except you don't get paid for your negativity. Double loss.

24. For those of you criticizing his rankings.........are you ranked 5th in the WORLD at anything? Not the state, not the country, the WORLD!!!!! If you can't give him props for that I agree with sara and you can kiss his ace!!!!!!

25. 15. Ok first of all don't make uneducated comments. If you are a fan of andy's you know what the "wall" is, if your not then shut up and don't worry about it. Secondly he IS the #1 american tennis player in the world, and for those of you criticizing when did become a bad thing to be 5th best in the WORLD at anything. Thirdly if you have nothing better to do than be on the internet picking apart someones comments and trying to find fault then you may proceed to the wall also. You can all kiss Andy's ace!!!

I have to completely agree with the above statement!

And add...Andy was not just throwing out random comments he was merely commenting on off the wall topics in "HIS" Blog. For obvious reasons the article above forgot to mention that...or was it to throw out and stir more controversary at the #1 player in the United States aka America!

And if commenting on someone's fashion or lack there of makes you insecure in your own sexuality what does that say abut the people who have posted about his teeth? Personally my computer shows pearly whites so I have no idea what you are talking about as the picturee I see shows nothing of the sort. LOL. Maybe you just could not come up with anything intellectual or worth while posting so you had to make something up or resort to personal attacks. LOL. An obviously doing it to someone you know absolutely nothing about.

The article written about Andy and his so called comments are biased and presented out of context!

26. Wow. All the people trashing Roddick, get a life would you? Just because you all have yellow teeth, doesn't mean you have to be asses about it and start critisizing his teeth. Which by the way..ARE WHITE!

And, do you really have nothing else to make fun of other than Roddick's teeth? Sheesh, I'll make sure to stay away from you in a dark alley. As Vanessa and Erin said, he is the Number 1 tennis player in the world. I'd like to see you go up and return a few of his serves.

Whatever, this is a waste of my time. Real Roddick fans would actually UNDERSTAND this article, and not start questioning it. Jesus, have a sense of humour!

27. Its freedom of speech. Andy can say whatver he wants. If he wants to comment on "murses" hes allowed to. If your allowed to criticize him then it works both ways. As #15 said if your a fan of Andy then you know what the wall is.

28. You go Sara! Like she said, just g too nearest wall--some of you deserve it.

29. Roddick is a f****** idiot...the way he talks and acts. He should concentrate more on not losing all the time and less on hiding his own homosexual tendencies. Only a fag talks like that!

30. Can you truly compare Roddick's teeth to most of the british...I think not! Unless you're into stunting the Andy Murray "fangs" style. As for K-fed well, we all know what he is about and is well deserving of the butthead award, (the real Andy Roddick fans well know what this is all about and the wall as well)... nice going Andy. And yes you all are green with envy (oh is that a reflection from your british teeth?) You negative posters can very well kiss his stars and stripes ace! Props to the U.S.A.'s #1... yes he his still our #1, don't judge me for knowing this it's universal knowledge!
