I think the discussion is healthy too, and I’m not against a rule change, if the players are in favor of it. It’s also fascinating because of the kind of sport and profession that it is. And I think, as our personal conversation shows, we’re dealing with something that can elicit some rather different interpretations…

No, pregnancy in a co-ed workplace could certainly involve sexism if you are giving preferential treatment to one sex. The WTA is a single sex workplace with a uniform set of rules. The fact that men exist is peripheral to the rules of the WTA. You can call the rule unfair or unsympathetic if you’d like, but it is not…

Good thing I locked my order/price on a Carrera T yesterday?

Also, I wouldn’t count on the rules being changed anytime soon, as most of the players on the WTA tour aren’t in favor of changing the rules:

I still fail to see the sexism here. The rule has nothing to do with anything but the WTA, where all of the players are women. Rankings are based on a mathematical accumulation of points earned through playing in tournaments — sex has nothing to do with how these rankings are determined.

My only disappointment is that you’re still on his jock almost two years after he left for another site. Move on, man.

How can it be sexist if the entire population of the WTA is female? No one is comparatively disadvantaged on the basis of sex, and the rule is enforced uniformly.

ESPN definitely showed it. Lewis was also filming it on a tiny little camera in the manner of an overly sadistic snuff porn director.

I don’t normally un-grey shitty comments but: https://deadspin.com/roger-federer-says-serena-williams-is-the-greatest-tenn-1826258866

Seven people is too many.

This is the first reasonable explanation that I’ve ever encountered in regard to this matter.

A Viper without a V10 is not a Viper at all. Move on, make a new model. Let the Viper remain special.

Nah, it’s math.

I honestly don’t see how this is an issue. The rules are the same for everyone, and everyone in the WTA is of the same gender, so I’m not sure that I would consider the decision sexist. Players bounce all over the rankings due to any number of personal and health issues, so I think that it is a slippery slope to make…

In that case, here’s to hoping for many more incidents of Max and Daniel binning it into each other. 🍻

I like him for all of those reasons too; he seems like a genuinely good lad and a hell of a driver. But his shoey fetish proves that indeed we are all flawed...

Ok, I get it, you like putting gross shit in your mouth.

The race started at 9:10am est. This a completely reasonable time, and doesn’t warrant spoiler alerts. And if you don’t have ESPN...well...you get what you pay for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You must suck toes.

I like Ricciardo well enough, but I find myself actively hoping that he doesn’t finish in P1 so that I don’t have to see him drink out of a sweaty shoe. Ugh.
