"The Parisian crowd is pretty stupid. The French resent the success of a Spaniard... To celebrate others' defeats seems like a bad philosophy."

Uncle Toni criticized the attitude of the French crowds, which cheered heavily for Robin Soderling instead of his nephew, Rafael Nadal the four-time defending champion at the French Open.
I guess the French people never like Spaniards since what... Napoleon Bonaparte's time?
I don't think I want to dig deep to trace the history to find out why.
Anyway, despite that comment, Uncle Toni still remain a nice guy.
