Wade slams political correctness in darts: "You have to be polite at all times, even if it’s when you shouldn’t have to be"

James Wade has been at the top of darts for about 20 years. As such, 'The Machine' has therefore seen the sport and the PDC evolve over the past two decades.
“Everything has changed; the players, the organisations, and the game as a whole – some of the players now have an ‘I should be here’ attitude, a sense of entitlement," Wade says on the William Hill’s Podcast, Up Front with Simon Jordan. “I just think we were all a bit more humble a few years ago, and perhaps that’s why the game has moved on. It’s hard for someone like myself to change my outlook and the way I perceive the game and the players."
Political correctness
One of those things that's developed, much to Wade's chagrin, is political correctness. “I think political correctness has come into the game and that does my head in; you have to be polite at all times, even if it’s when you shouldn’t have to be," he explains.
“If someone has upset or offended you, you should be able to say you’re not happy with it. If you say these things at the wrong time and in front of the wrong people, you get ridiculed for it.”

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
