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.”

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
