That’s the part of gender equality you apparently can’t stomach - for every mediocre to shitty white dude with a cushy job, you’ll get more and more inept white women cashing a fat paycheck. Get used to it.

Wow, so he doesn’t look buff like an NFL Linebacker? Big surprise. The guy does not carry any excessive weight. This is what carrying too much weight as an athlete looks like:
What was the ‘sexual harassment’ part in this? So, the word ‘beautiful’ without any context constitutes sexual harassment now? Holy shit, Madonna just ripped of a minor girl’s top on stage in front of a whole crowd and *this* is sexual harassment. Don’t make stuff up, please. This guy has plenty of dirt on him. No…
“Fed’s had a pooch belly since he first became #1.”
You look at the bodies of even the best female tennis players and you have to realize, that they are just not as fit as many other female athletes, let alone male athletes. A lot of them carry excessive weight (by athletes standards). They are not fat, just not at the body fat level of other female endurance atletes…
“If you’ve never played a 5 hour match”
Then why let they play the men best of 5? Isn’t that utterly ridiculous and irresponsible as well, yet nobody seems to care? Why should the physiological differences between men and women play a bigger role in tennis than in any other sport? You make it sound like tennis was the most grueling, physically demanding…
Ok, let me explain this to you in a way that even you can understand - in every sport, women compete under basically the same rules and regulations as men and yet they manage to somehow survive, even though their delicate ‘lady bodies’ must be put to a hellish test. Oh, why is it, that the ultra marathon female…
They could, for the show courts. You don’t get access to the show courts with ground passes.
“...the WTA and the elite female players could not get them to let them play 5 sets if they lobbied for it?”
Do you understand, that the fact that America is talking about the Serena Williams and not the best men right now has a lot to do with the fact, that the best men come from Europe. The Williams sisters were already on the tour during the latter part of the Agassi and Sampras era and they were completely overshadowed…
So, women can compete at the Ironman triathlon (2.4 miles swimming in the ocean, a 112-mile bycicle ride and a marathon of 26.2 miles) but they can’t play best of five at 4 GS tournaments ( a maximum increase of 2 sets per match at a maximum of 28 matches over a period of 12 months). Those female tennis players must…
By raisng the prize money for women to the men’s level at GS tournaments, they had to shell out a lot more than that, yet they complied, but the idea of generating more ad revenue for an extended tv coverage vs a comparatively low increase in extra costs is turned down by the organizers? That’s a good one! Most female…
In other words, you have nothing.
So you can’t really say who is objectively better or worse at a given sport,
However, women don’t play 3 sets because injury rates would go way up. Their bodies just can’t handle it.
I’m sure, Azarenka, Kvitova or Kerber completely oveshadow unknown bums like Nadal, Federer or Murray. I am also sure, that you would gladly agree with the notion, that your part-time working co-worker should get as much as you working full-time (yes, playing a minimum of 3 sets compared to a maximum of 3 sets on the…
You think, that the tournament directors have gladly raised the prize money for women at the Grand Slam tournaments, but the WTA and the elite female players could not get them to let them play 5 sets if they lobbied for it? If anyone believes that, I’d like to sell them a bridge or two.
You do realize, that the world does not end at the US border? The rest of the world (95 %), sees the Williams sisters as big stars, but not as big as you might believe they are, compared to the best male players. The rivalry between Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray is the most exciting thing in tennis history, imo.…
Isn’t it ironic, that you would censor my comment in a story about a magazine and women’s lib? Meta much?
