I had exactly that discussion with my father yesterday.

You're not my dad, are you?

However, it's utterly true that they don't come over as spoilt arrogant stupid t**ts. They also seem to respect themselves, their opponents, the sport, their audience and the interviewer, while at the same time enjoying and valuing what they do. Which you can't really say for a bunch of people who apparently complained of being bored in South Africa.
