John McEnroe criticized by PC police for telling the truth

[hench]

So he answers a question honestly and yet has to apologise for stating FACT,  it's not even an opinion.

What's even more insane is that they're asking McEnroe to apologize when it was the interviewer who not only brought up the topic but pressed the issue.

[Thin Lizzy]

The hate is strong. She would be top 200 or so easy.

I have no doubt that you're more qualified to make that determination than a three-time Wimbledon winner.

So only if you do, only can you have aOpinion ?

[Thin Lizzy]

We get it, you're a liberal and you're going to defend the PC narrative to the end.

Do you do anything other than nitpick? It's not even about tennis it's about PC bullshit. That the woman would ask something so obviously ridiculous and be serious about it

[Powerlift66]

LMAO, he's not afraid to tell the truth.
Fark the PC police and the social justice warriors (AKA - unemployed trouble makers).

[ratherbebig]

too know whether he was insulting her we need to examine what he said.

he said she would beat ranked 700

maybe thats not accurate. maybe she's top 200 ? if so that IS insulting, if he on purpose try to downplay her skillset.

On calling Serena Williams the best female tennis player in the world

Garcia-Navarro: We're talking about male players but there is of course wonderful female players. Let's talk about Serena Williams. You say she is the best female player in the world in the book.

McEnroe: Best female player ever — no question.

Garcia-Navarro: Some wouldn't qualify it, some would say she's the best player in the world. Why qualify it?

McEnroe: Oh! Uh, she's not, you mean, the best player in the world, period?

Garcia-Navarro: Yeah, the best tennis player in the world. You know, why say female player?

McEnroe: Well because if she was in, if she played the men's circuit she'd be like 700 in the world.

McEnroe always seemed like a crybaby to mean when watching him play when I was in like grade school or something but nowadays he seems like a alright dude. I trained a pro tennis coach about a year & a half or two. & a half years ago who said McEnroe would still wipe the court with guys in the top-10 if not top-5 but his body couldn't sustain playing year round.. We were talking about that "legends" tennis tour were McEnroe would play against other former top guys like Michael Chang and Agassi and Sampras and all them. I think I had mentioned I was surprised to see Andy Roddick on there because I thought he was still playing and still pretty young? I thought that was the guy anyways... That was pretty high praise from that coach and kinda changed my opinion of McEnroe.

"How to... beat both Williams sisters in one afternoon" ,a 2001 article, by the legendary Karsten Brach,from The Guardian ,UK. I think with at around the 400 men's rank Serena might be competitive,but who knows. I suspect she wouldn't be near top 200.



"Both sisters are great tennis players and hit the ball extremely well. However, if you've been playing on the men's tour there are certain shots you can play that are going to put them in difficulty. Try and put a lot spin on the ball - I was hitting the ball with a degree of spin they don't face week-in, week-out. Another key is to chase down every shot. In our match, they were putting shots into the corners that on the women's tour would be winners but I was able to return them.

In the end I won, but neither myself, nor Venus or Serena took the game too seriously - we were just having a bit of fun.

Apparently, after the game, Serena and Venus immediately told the press they wanted to challenge a male player again. This time they revised the ranking of the man they wanted to face, to 350 in the world.I informed the journalist who told me this that in the next week I was set to lose a lot of ATP points and drop down to 350 in the rankings. I told him that if Venus and Serena waited just one week they could challenge me all over again!"

That's why I looked up the transcript. I don't trust these motherfuckers for a second.

Exactly.  Good habit to pick up for anyone (in the small percentage) who'd rather not BS around.

Only a fucking fool these days would take their messages from this media.

[ratherbebig]

unless its posted on getbig its fake news

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

She asked him the question dumbass. He didn't bring it up. It's amazing how your every fucking instinct is wrong. You should go the George Costanza route and do the opposite.

And he should have not taken the bait...thats why Serena responded that she respects and loves John because even she knew he got played.  But at the same time, he needs to not fall into trap doors

[Thin Lizzy]

Since you can't prove it one way or the other, you just have to take him at face value. The bottom line is that she asked him a question for which she didn't want to hear the answer and she pressed him on it, and when finally gave her the answer, She and the rest of the piece of shit mainstream media can't handle it.

The same thing happened a few days ago when Trump said he didn't want a poor person running the economy. A bunch of liberal media talking heads got a bug up their ass about it. Yeah, why would we want a genius billionaire businessman like Wilbur Ross as commerce secretary when we can have a New Orleans Dindu that robs tourists, at the position.

At this point, I don't give a shit if Trump gets anything accomplished during his presidency as long as this type of stupidity is treated with laughter.

Perhaps he should have offered to use his connections to set something up, to discover the truth about what the "reporter" or whatever she is, seems to want to believe. 

He walked right into it, instead, though.  Good point.

you didnt need to say, we all knew you did.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Serena came out and basically backed McEnroe and said men's and women's tennis are basically two different sports. Serena gets schooled by college men's players in practice who go 3/4 speed. Men's and women's tennis is equal to women's pro softball and major league baseball. Serena wouldn't be ranked 500 or 700 in men's tennis. She never would have been able to turn pro in the first place.

[ratherbebig]

lets not forget that tennis is fukkin gay both male and women

^ Nice to see you, AS

Many years ago I was a personal trainer in a large health club that had a tennis court. Martina Navratilova used to occasionally come there to practice.  At the time, she was easily the best female tennis player in the world. She would often play against men. I found out that they were college players as you said. These guys would easily blow serves by her all the time.

[Redux]

The crazy thing is that McEnroe actually WAS being politically correct.
There are elite HIGH SCHOOL boys that could beat either one of those Williams negroes on a good day. Period.
This nonsense of comparing women to men in athletics has got to stop.
The whole damn world is going fucking insane.
