Less Judgment; More Grace

Tennis great Andre Agassiz has published his autobiography, Open, in which he admits that he wore a hairweave early on in his career, took crystal meth more times than he can remember during one year, and always hated tennis. These are shocking admissions from one of the most charismatic payers of all time and the only male singles player to achieve a Career Golden Slam ( Wimbledon, U.S Open, Australian Open, French Open and a Gold Olympic medal).
Reaction to his drug use was swift and strong, especially from Martina Navratilova who said, “Shocking. Not as much shock that he did it as shock he lied about it and didn’t own up to it. Do you take away a title he wouldn’t have won if he had been suspended?”
To his credit, he is telling the truth now. On Sixty Minutes (Nov. 8, 2009) he asked for grace. I hope he gets it not only from his colleagues but the rest of us. Everybody could use a little less judgment and a little more grace, especially when a person remorsefully 'fesses up.
