Nadal has turned down the University of the Balearic Islands doctorate because of the murky controversy to which its angry president alludes.
What possible basis could there be for a faculty and student body hesitating to award an honorary doctorate to a 27 year old who “left conventional schooling after he turned pro at 15″, and who is famous for “his habit of biting the trophies” he wins?

They offered to make me a doctor
Though I’ve never met with a proctor.
It was so nice at first,
But I found myself cursed,
And I didn’t want to be mocked…er.
