Bootsy Collins a huge tennis fan?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been watching Tennis the last week or so everyday and tonight as I'm skipping the Ravens game (could care less) to watch Baghdatis hopefully take it to Federer, Bootsy shows up in the crowd. The camera pans to him as he's applauding the players and the commentators go into length about Bootsy's illustrious career and how the DJ should be playing better music haha.

Just found that interesting.

Obviously. I watch all the televised tournaments. I just didn't expect Bootsy to pop up.

hahaaa, good to see you acknowledge #2..

I can only imagine Bootsys tennis "outfit". He could blind his opponent into submission with his diamond encrusted tennis raquet..

I don't find this overly strange. Musicians can have other interests too. Alice Cooper is a near pro-level golfer. So why can't Bootsy be in to tennis?

Boyd Tinsley (violin, Dave Matthews Band) is a local here, and he's a huge tennis fan, and is very active in the tennis community.
