What an example he sets... absolutely no fuss from Fed. Didn’t have his pass, knows the rules, no one above the rules, no blow up, waits til coach brings bag with pass on... in he goes. That’s why he’s the most admired sportsperson of this generation. #AllClass

Greens must be held accountable for the nonsense they spew
