carbon4me: As a fellow American, I share your thoughts about the pro game of darts and Phil's impact on the game. I only discovered the PDC about three years ago and Phil Taylor quickly became my favorite player to the extent that this past year I subscribed to the PDC "live-streaming" service. Once one understands the pro game, this sport really gets under your skin. I will miss watching Taylor and wish him well but, the promising young players should make 2018 an interesting year.

@g9kyra6 жыл бұрын
Taylor lacks the sovereign behavior of a great champion. He's got the confidence and the aura on stage but not the sportsmanship he showed in this interview, in particular not when he's really challenged or loses. When the match is over the match is over and you can be fair and give credit to your opponent or admit what you did wrong. Taylor instead often talked trash. I started paying attention after Taylor told van Barneveld to 'fuck off' - after Taylor eliminated him from the WC in 2012. He even won and Barney is known for his sportsmanship and a more than established opponent. To behave like a little boy and be that kind of a jerk to someone that deserves almost the same respect as a darter and even more as a person was something I never forgot 'cause it revealed his character and I'm one of the old fashioned ones to whom character matters. Glad he showed some class in this interview and wish he can relax now that he's retired
