Why does Robin Söderling ruin everything?

Again?

What is your deal, Robin Söderling? You are funny-looking, and you knock out major players in major tournaments only to implode spectacularly and make the final a pathetic farce.

Get out.

(Note: I correct the spelling because not even this schmuck deserves to have his name spelled incorrectly. I would like to point out, however, that ignoring diacritics in this case is not an American problem but rather a sporting problem. In no language, for instance, does the Roland Garros website provide "Söderling.")

Why are americans blind to any kind of diacritical marks in foreign names and words, except when they're (incorrectly) used in names of heavy metal bands?

It's "Söderling".
