Brit Tennis Star Dumped for Playing Modern Warfare 2



Even a famous athlete like British No. 1, Andy Murray, can't keep his non-gamer girlfriend happy.

Many British tabloids reported today that Scottish tennis star Andy Murray was dumped by his girlfriend, Kim Sears, because he spent too much time playing Modern Warfare 2. The couple, both 22 years old, announced on Sunday they were breaking up and Murray's agent claimed that the split was "amicable" and "mutual." However, a source close to Sears added that Murray has been playing videogames too much of late and that was the reason she left him. Murray is the No. 1 British tennis player and is currently ranked fourth in the world according to the Association of Tennis Professionals.

It is unclear where the information regarding Murray's videogame "addiction" comes from, but both the Sun [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/andymurray/6699385/Andy-Murray-and-Kim-Sears-split-over-seven-hour-a-day-PlayStation-3-addiction.html] reported that someone close to the couple said, "He would spend all his time glued to them. In the end she just got fed up with it. She wanted more out of the relationship." Apparently, the £5 million mansion and celebrity lifestyle wasn't enough for Sears. Murray's agent added that "Andy doesn't play computer games any more than any other 22-year-old."

In 2008, Murray's former coach expressed frustration [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/2636825/Brad-Gilbert-admits-poor-relationship-with-Andy-Murray-but-backs-Scot-for-success.html] with how the tennis star spent his time, "He plays videogames seven hours a day. So if he is not playing videogames or playing tennis, he is with his girlfriend." With the girlfriend out of the picture, now it appears that Murray is only playing tennis and fragging his mates in MW2.

If only I were so lucky...

He must have one hell of a gaming setup, I spend a load of time on my crappy rig, I don't think I'd move for weeks if I had my own cinema screen.

I'm sure the conservative media will eat this up.

BTW I would be conservative if it wasn't for Fox News. Holla?
"Lolchair is amused" made be amused

OT: Meh, the guy has so little charisma I think THAT'S why she left him

GF: How much do you love me, darling?
Andy: Mmrmbleumnum...s'okay..murmurmubmlemrrm (looks bashfully at feet the ENTIRE time)

Yes. The Sun. Great source of info.
Exactly what I was thinking.

By any chance was this story printed alongside a rather nice pair of tits? (this does sound like the light news story they would put on page 3).

Hmm the Telegraph says the same and that's considered to be fairly reliable normally:

Well, it explains his complete lack of charisma. He always seemed like the kind of guy who found tennis as a mere triviality, something he was good at, no more.

I wonder if he will help a fellow gamer get a better setup (and a girlfriend).
Maybe you could get that Kim Sears on the rebound
Agreed, she's pretty damn fit.

I doubt MW2 broke up their relationship. This was probably a long time coming, and a time killer like MW2 just sealed the deal. Nice to know I'm not the only one who had women issues as a result of this damn game.
