Boris Becker has to go to prison. Some reacted with scorn on social media, others felt sorry for the tennis legend.
Boris Becker (54) was sentenced to two years and six months in prison on April 29. The tennis legend and her team can still appeal the guilty verdict and the sentence. As expected, the hashtag #BorisBecker trended on Twitter after the verdict was announced. While some users reacted with scorn, others were appalled by the reactions or showed compassion.
“Am I in there already, or what?”
Several users ripped, for example, in which Becker was seen more than 20 years ago. At the time, the former athlete asked, amazed at the easy access to the network: “Am I already in there, or what?” Another user in an upcoming season of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!.
Becker jokes “are really inappropriate”
DAZN moderator Flo Hauser thought so: “Sorry, but #BorisBecker jokes are really inappropriate! Punishment for wrong behavior etc. is important, but we are all human. Remember.” Similar: “Cheap ‘jokes’ and endless malice. Rarely has Twitter been so repulsive. #BorisBecker”
“How few people are aware that malice is really one of the most unpleasant and basest character traits there is is shown under #BorisBecker”, . Another user writes, “I’ve always found him tragic as a public figure. Now he’s going to jail and while that’s certainly correct and justified, I feel sorry for him.”
