I would like for the ATP to get a little involved to see if this wasn't the case in years other than just 1997. (In '97 he never won any major titles, and a player with his track record only cares about those grand slams.) Seeing tennis as I grew up, I never understood why Agassi went from the bad boy that would wear whatever color he wanted and have long, greasy hair at wimbledon to the man who shaved his head and wore only black or only white. (Not wearing white at Wimbledon is somewhat of a tennis faux-pas.) The American two-party system is ultimately flawed. The fact that it is called a two-party system, yet we have a multitude of minor players, is a falacy within itself. People get in these ruts now, more so than ever before in American history, where they will vote or agree with someone only because of their political affiliation. Here's a minor solution... Get rid of the party system, get rid of the electoral college (Gore won the majority of american votes in 2000), and let democracy actually BE a modern representative democracy. In my humble opinion . . . I find it refreshing that Agassi actually came clean on his crystal meth usage.
