Real life events that could have ticked Becker off

Name some things that happened in real life that could have made Becker mad, and put in quotes what he exactly would have said. I'll start.

Becker on the decision of LeBron James to leave his hometown team for Miami:
"I can't believe this guy. He gives his hometown team the best years of its existence, and how does he repay them? He joins Miami in search of a title! That really makes me mad. Once you join your hometown team you should stay there for your entire career. Not betray your home and your fans. Cal Ripken Jr. was right to spend HIS entire career with his hometown team. That LeBron guy should have taken a page from him! If I ever meet this LeBron guy I'm gonna flip him the bird!"

I found myself driving behind someone going ridiculously slow in a parking lot and shouted, "It's a parking lot, not a parade!" I was proud of my on-the-spot Becker-ness (though maybe being a grouch isn't something to really aspire to).

He'd be appalled at how far political correctness has gone: "You took a private conversation and you imbued it with racial overtones, all under the guise of political correctness. You know something, that concept was meant to make us more sensitive to each other, but instead, you used it to perpetuate some ugly stereotypes!"

Quite frankly Becker in todays world isnt imagineable for me. Compared to today, back then Becker was living in heaven.

Some things today that would piss Becker off; Facebook, Twitter, people getting injured playing Pokemon Go, texting while driving, Hillary Clinton,and many more that they could use if they had a reboot. In today's world Becker would be truly pissed.

Spider-Man 3, "Sam Raimi decided to make Sand Man Uncle Ben's killer and ruin the entire first movie, just because he couldn't think of anything else to do with him! That is completely unprofessional and stupid!"

I wanted to read a synopsis of a film so I logged on IMDB. Do you know those losers sit around all day dissecting this stuff?! What is wrong with these people?!
