oh my dog. i can't believe this guy mark petchey refers to winning tennis matches as taking scalps. i mean, what a creep. what a numbskull. i'm going to try to make a note of who he refers to as the scalper and who the scalp. this time it was a white american taking a brown spaniard's scalp. it may be color-blind, coincidental, equal opportunity, or simply ignorance and unconsciousness, though i've only heard the scalping analogy applied to men.
