@@grayalun How could he even apologize without setting himself up for another apology? "I am so very sorry I triggered the snowflakes and indoctrinated nut jobs with the truth?"
Serena Williams was probably surprised by her loss to a man ranked so low. She even admitted they purposely chose someone that low b/c they thought he'd been easy to beat and it'd be a lopsided win for her. She was very shocked that he crushed her and readily admitted that men - even less talented men - have a HUGE advantage over women in sports. Seriously, I was impressed by her honesty and people need to shut up about the whole thing.
the guy that beat serena and her sister venus also played 18 holes of golf before the match, and he was smoking during the matches when they were sitting down.after a few games.
He wasn't flippant toward the serena, he was flippant toward the interviewer, who was pretending not to know that female tennis players can't beat male tennis players. She wanted him to play along, for him to also pretend not to know this, and he refused.
I agree. There's a difference between best tennis player in the world, which Serena isn't, and one of the best tennis players in the world, which she is.
Yeah that interviewer can try being honest for once and see what it's like to have balls like him haha. Really though, how can she say best in world when we have Roger? If he's not the best in the world, then who is?
as a woman, it upsets me when ppl can’t accept this, bc to me it’s a logical conclusion based purely on biology the male body is faster, stronger, and taller than the female body because of GENETICS - so the best man/men will always beat the best women in sports, NOT because women don’t work hard enough or are inferior or something, but because men were literally born with the necessary biological makeup to do it all better so because of the science, to me there should be no shame in admitting that men are better at athletics based competitions no one is criticizing the dove for being slower than the eagle - it’s to be expected yet people still admire the way both birds fly in my opinion, it takes away from all of a female athlete’s hard work when she/others try to compare her to males it’s apples to oranges, and the categories are separate so that competition is actually fair and enjoyable for both sexes
also, another reason it’s easy for me to admit that men are better at this type of thing is bc there are so many unique things about the female body too! sure, no matter how good a woman is at sports, she’ll probably never beat men at it - but no matter how good a man is at sports, he’ll never be able to grow another human inside of him and give birth each body has different strengths and weaknesses, and i think that’s beautiful :)
@@hannah_shortcake thank you . It’s so rare seeing women nowadays stop being biased and look at certain situations as it should. And there’s a lot of thing women are way better than men at. Men and women can’t be equal at everything it’s impossible but what’s makes it’s beautiful is there’s things we both can do better than the other with out it being at completion .

The same year Chris Evert won the French Open and number one in the world, she played a practice match against her older brother! Drew was a member of the Auburn University men’s tennis team. He beat her on clay 6-0, 6-0!
Just as a side note, Evert said she also never won practice matches against Jeanne, her younger sister. Colette said that of three sisters, Claire was the most talented; however, Chris was the one who had the drive and tunnel vision to parley her talent into GS success.
Not a single person who truly knows tennis would seriously say the #1 woman, whoever she was, could beat a male pro ranked in the top 600. Hell, she wouldn’t be able to beat most top Division 1 male players. Pro level males just serve too hard, hit too hard, and move too fast. It’s not sexist, it’s biology.
If women were on the same level as men athletically then we would not existed or not be like we know, if women were strong as men, then we would have less men, women wold be at least 1.2 times the size of a man, because women would consume most of the nutrients to be able to compete against other females in strength and also be ready to give birth, but we evolved so men compete agaisnt other male to be able to provide nutrients to the women so they could carry the males genes. So you should be gratefull that we are not a matriarchy species.

I will always enjoy the fact that the Williams sisters claimed they'd beat any man outside the top 200, and a guy outside the top 200, after 2 beers, crushes both of them.
To be fair though I respect them for saying that because they understand the difference in physical/anatomical advantage of men. Like no woman will ever be the fastest person on earth or the strongest, it’s always men
"Serena Williams is the best tennis player ever and how dare you say the Men are better than the Women" "Well if you say so, I guess I'll just combine the divisions and just have the Tennis Association that is open to everyone to compete in equally" "Wait, no"
I wonder how long till they would start raving that tennis association is somehow sexist and that there needs to be a 50/50 representation in top ranks.
The worst part about the MacEnroe comment was that he got so much hate for it but Serena agreed with him. It’s a good publicity stunt but no one who actually plays tennis would ever say that the women and men are equal. Don’t believe me, look at Serena’s interview about it.
I think it’s the wording that was controversial. Williams said womens tennis and mens tennis were different sports. McEnroe said mens tennis is the better sport. Woman have physical limitations, it doesn’t mean they are lesser. I don’t think that’s what McEnroe meant but it was definitely how it came across, especially after he doubled down.

Thats even more prove that this "legendary battle of the sexes" was a work. Despite that guy being old. I mean some journeyman who doesnt take his career serious + after golf, 2 beers and even held back a bit and won easily against both. It just didnt came out because everyone wanted the woman to win and commentators either being paid or clueless.
Ranked over 200, played a round of golf, had a few beers, then beat BOTH Williams sisters in the same day while not trying his hardest? Yeah, that put that idea to bed forever. Last nail in the coffin? Check. ✅
The question, and the way it was asked, was an insult. I just lost all respect for that show. I thought it was just a morning show. Now I see it is a "woke" pit. It is as pathetic as it is disgusting.
Serena Williams herself said in interview that she would stand no chance against similarly ranked male players; "If I played Andy [Murray] I'd be lucky to take a single game. Men's and women's tennis are totally different sports."

Imagine asking a man a question, and him answer it with complete honesty, and then people get offended and ask you if you would like to apologize for your honesty...
Its like the guy who went for an job interview when asked about his weaknesses he said “ honesty” the interviewer honestly is not a weakness and the guy replied I don’t give a toss what you think
Ye its so duuumb. I consider myself very progressive, liberal and left-leaning. So you can imagine my eye-rolling when I saw that bit and started imagining the amounts of triggered anitSJW screaching "feminist-agenda!" when wathcing the video. Fuel to the fire...
the worst thing about this is propably that they truly believe what they are saying. Its no shame that women are biologically at a disadvantage, so why would you trashtalk this dude for stating it. Its just unrealistic to think that Serena Williams can win. Thats not sexist and no one should be ashamed or offended by that. She is the worlds best female tennis player and she can beat like 99,99% of all people in the world.
@@gromswowguide7927 no i mean overall. I think if she would be playing in the mens league she would be around lets say the top 1000-2000. Compared to almost 8 Billion Humans thats more than 99,99%
Serena was at her best when she admitted the difference. I've seen the good and the bad from her, so it's nice to see that she's human just like everyone else.
Exactly and she has probably never even picked up a tennis racket. he may have been an obnoxious prat when he played. but you cannot deny how good a player he was and he has turned into an even better commentator IMHO.
I didn’t watch the entire video, but I get why some people thought an apology would be nice. Some people saw her as the best player in the world in terms of dominance in wtp at the time. It’s annoying when people always move the goalpost... Like obviously the men will outperform the women in tennis most of the time. In general why bring in gender if a women was the hardest working and best performing tennis player. Why isn’t it the same way as GSP is considered one of the goats in mma bc of his dominance, yet no one would argue he could beat the higher weight classes.
Not even amateur, some men who only played once can beat them. This is already proven by how australian national female football team got beaten by middleschool boys team. Not even professional boys team, it just schools football club.
There is a recent video of a premier league player i think zaha dribbling an entire national women's team at the highest level and not even coming close to having lost the ball, complete domination.
The only hard evidence you need is to look record-based sports (100m dash, weight lifting, swimming, javelin throw, long jump, all of em) and look how far apart the mens and womens records are. The biggest irony is the records where the scores are actually not too far apart is because some dude decided he was a girl one day and permanently destroyed the female leaderboards forever.
@@sunshineskystar lol ok what a stupid claim. I'd like to see a guy that played tennis once try to defend against a female pro serve. I say no chance. Yeah it might be slower than a men's serve but you are underestimating this a lot. Do you really not know that different sports require different skills? In some sports sheer physical speed and strength play a bigger role than in others. Just because that happened in one sport doesn't mean it would happen in any sport lmao. Just think a bit
@@xaerir his point is people constantly have to apologize for "telling the truth" or "being bluntly honest," regardless of what the topic it might be. The 21st century version of this just happened to be the topic of this video.
I think it's very clear Bobby Riggs threw the match and bet against himself. His performance against King was completely different from the one with Court
Yeah, I completely concur. If you watch the telecast, the color commentator kept referring to Bobby Riggs hitting easy shots into BJ King's back-hand, which was her big money stroke. That was my first clue that Riggs was basically giving her easy points. Riggs was crazy like like a fox!
That's exactly what I was thinking watching this. If you know it's high profile and you have become a huge favorite it would be easy to dump the match and make a killing being against yourself. I think Bobby Riggs the match.
With the ability to detect anomalous betting behavior so conclusively that the MLB, NBA, and NFL have all banned players for life, you would think there would actually be proof of this case somewhere.
Honestly the mainstream media is sexist and hates us masculine men with a passion, is it just me or is the female interviewers are so passionate and aggressive and to emotional every time it’s really annoying.
I think he could have defended himself more clearly though. Tennis is part technique, part strength and part fitness. Marathon running shows the gulf between men and women in the latter two, so there's your answer, in two sentences.
Norah O'Donnell: "Are you here to apologize?" She is absolutely what's wrong with journalism today. Ultra liberal and dumber than a box of frog farts. Mac should have gotten up and blown his nose on her head.
@@serg9320 so overall they are, in their prime, probably ranked 400th or even 500th best players in the world. In terms of Women, yes they are 1 and 2. But overall, they would drop about 400-500 places.
@@rezarfar Yes, but comparing womens sport to mens sport is completely unfair. Not being sexist, but there is a reason that there are separate divisions.
So to sum up the matches: 1. The old man one against a young woman. 2. The man lost, but he threw the match to win a bet. 3. The rules handicapped the man. 4. The man was a low ranked player, but won anyway.
because trans women exist and they want to convince themselves that feelings are more important than facts. I will always support the trans community when it comes to what they FEEL, but if you're going to get in a competition that involves PHYSICAL difference, it's straight up cheating to just call yourself a women and absolutely demolish every single person there is on the room.
Serena Williams herself said that mens and womens tennis are two totally different sports. She is realistic because she knows her stuff. All that doesn't take ANYTHING away from the work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears female athletes invest in their performance. But there are boundaries set by biology that you simply can't overcome.
The match few remmember is the 1992 battle between legends Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova. Connors was 40, past his prime and Navratilova was 35, and still a force in the game. The court was specially painted so that Martina had the full court while Jimmy only had the singles court, and on top of that Martina had two serves while Jimmy had only one. Jimmy defeated Martina 75 62. Why was he only allowed the singles court and why onlyone serve. One thing is for certain, if Martina hasd won, we would have never heard the last of it, there would have been books, films and documentaries.
Yep with all the extra perks going Martinas way he still kicked her ass. And no one mentions that Martina was built like a man too she had more muscle than Jimmy i would say. But still lost.
OK...but it was the elderly man who was thirsty for the match. It's not like she was the one looking to prove she was better. She was kind of backed into a corner and had to accept the challenge after the other girl lost so badly.
@@wickeddjsin well she asked for it saying that women should be paid the same as men while the men’s circuit was more popular, profitable, and better athletically
@@chuckfinley6747 that's kind of flimsy logic. She's allowed to advocate for higher pay without having to be able to beat men 1 on 1. If womens leagues put out a good product then they should get paid accordingly. The players don't necessarily dictate how much money the league can make. That's on the owners and marketing and lots of other factors beyond the players control. The quality of their play is only one factor among many. If you need proof just look at the Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals. They play like trash half the time and plenty of people still pay to see them play
Not just insults but as racism, sexism and other isms. Statistics, facts and biology have all lost their meaning in these retarded times we live in when someone says something remotely “offensive” (even tho it’s true) it’s bashed down and everyone expects an apology or just flat out cancel the person. Ridiculous.
@Yokai369 You know what is funniest about you lefties. It's like you have a rule that you must follow "acuse others of what you are guilty of". Does that ever work? Do you not tire of coming across as an idiot?
Chris Evert, at the top of her career, dismissed Riggs v. BJK saying " no woman could beat a NCAA Division II man, let alone a touring pro." BTW, Riggs was handicapped (1 serve v. 2, doubles line for BJK) similar to Connors. Why was that not mentioned?
I respect John even more now. He spoke how he felt and didn't back down. If there's a question about men & women sports then like John said combine them and there would be no more questions
They weren't even his feelings man. It was just cold hard facts. Serena Williams is the most gifted female Tennis player of all time. Venus is the 2nd best. But there are high school aged male tennis prospects who could smoke both of them. That's just the nature of pitting men vs. women in athletic competition. There is no comparison.
no need to respect John for stating the obvious, i would have laughed that that stupid reporters face for asking such an insulting question. Especially a guy sub 200 seed already defeated both Williams sisters in their prime.
I agree with combined competitions. This could literally set the record straight if done for a decade or so. Males and Females are intrinsically blessed with different strengths, deal with it.,

I watched the 1973 match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. It was a joke. Riggs simply served up every return shot nice and easy allowing King to take the offensive with nearly every exchange. The whole match was literally a setup.
Bobby Riggs did not return shots very hard against Margaret Court either. King was younger, quicker and a harder hitter than Court. King took advantage of Riggs weak returns while Court didn't. There is speculation that Riggs, a big gambler, threw the King match so the mob would cancel his betting debts.
Riggs was more at the entrepreneurial stage by then. Winning actually wasn't important. The figures from the match were the only things that mattered, and Bobby did quite well. However, he was in his mid fifties and had been retired quite awhile by then. He was never going to be as agile in 1973, as he was in 1939. That's just biology. Some people unfortunately don't even live to be 34 years of age. 😊

I wouldn't say leftists. I'm as leftist as can possibly be and all in for equal pay etcetc, but I'm also an intellect and realist.... There's a reason pay isn't equal, one side draws in a SHIT TON more attention and viewership (thus money) than the other, so the pay is higher - very simple, nothing to do with sex. Back to this topic though: Yes, men perform better than women in most sports. Why? Basic biology. Muscle mass...It's not even anything to argue about. Bottom line MEN ON AVERAGE PERFORM BETTER. Anyway I wouldn't point fingers at "leftists" as a whole. In this case it's a feminist (and yes most feminists are also leftists, but not neccessarily the other way around)

A few days after he trounced Serena and Venus, his ranking was updated, and it dropped from the low 200s to the mid-300s.

Riggs threw that match against King. The fact that he was known to be a heavy gambler, have serious debts, and went out of his way to promote the match and pump up the betting odds in his favor screamed set-up. The fact that it can't be proven just means he covered his tracks VERY well.
More likely, it's simply common knowledge amongst the media-industrial complex that certain stories are not to be pursued because they're damaging to the narrative.

That was the best comment yet. Serena couldn't beat a good, not even top, division one college guy. I was a very good junior college player, and I practiced with good pro women quite a lot.

@@saem369 Because the women were continually dominated by men, even with huge advantages, and yet they still think that they automatically are entitled to the same pay when pay is largely determined by skill and public interest (people usually want to see the best of the best). That and in our day and age, a bunch of people throw a tantrum when you point out the obvious (the best men will almost always beat the best women at sports).
Imagine winning a game that could very well decide the wages of you and your colleagues for the rest of your careers, against a man player who handily beat the best female Australian player.
@@Shalopa9 it would have 0.000 effect on their wages. If Serana Williams beat Nadal or federer today, that might have an impact. Beating an already retired player in his fifties!!! has 0 effect since it's already pathetic you almost lost and some already were beaten
Hmmmmm if only there could be some other reason she celebrated???? I guess we will never know (unless you actually pay attention to the video but you have clearly shown that is too hard of a task for you)
Can’t believe everyone fell for his plan, literally easy money, win the first, bet against yourself and deliver your own result, what a premium hustler😆😆🤣❤️
I like how these women can say they are the best and not expect someone to argue back.. but when a guy says he is the best the women FLIP and want an apology?
I like how the Williams sisters did everything they could with drugs to make themselves male while also ironically saying that they were as good as men.
They always talking shit never exit from ghetto travel all over the world and like 2 Pac say you can take mannout of ghetto but can take ghetto out of him
I see a lot of ‘WHY WONT WOMEN ACCEPT MEN ARE BETTER’ but I don’t actually see who they are talking about. I’m not saying they don’t exist, but I do think some people like to exaggerate how prevalent it is as an excuse to put women down. People love to put women down but the reality is they are just different sports. No one is ‘better’. Everyone should be able to compete at the peak of their ability and be rewarded fairly for it. People who advocate for equal pay aren’t saying women are as strong as men.
@miyahtallulah Apologizing for saying something true is not about anything ethical. As much as some would love the gender critical spin, no amount of wishful thinking is going to slow down the average ATP serve or ground stroke to those of a WTA player. The fact that top male athletes have a big power advantage doesn't take anything away from Serena's amazing career, or from women in general. Suggesting otherwise is just embarrassing. The only person who should apologize is the reporter for insulting our intelligence by pushing a bunk narrative.
I mean, I would love to see Amanda Nunes fight a man. She has the best chance by FAR out of any woman, but I do think it wouldn't be a true fight due to the fact that whoever she fights wouldn't want to be permanently labelled "the man paid to hit a woman"
@@spyox2215 I don't doubt that in a real fight. I feel like in the real world, whatever man they get to fight her would be hesitant to even agree to it, let alone go all out due to the fact that that will almost CERTAINLY be their legacy forever.

Serena Williams was probably surprised by her loss to a man ranked so low. She even admitted they purposely chose someone that low b/c they thought he'd been easy to beat and it'd be a lopsided win for her. She was very shocked that he crushed her and readily admitted that men - even less talented men - have a HUGE advantage over women in sports. Seriously, I was impressed by her honesty and people need to shut up about the whole thing.
I'm sure she played against men in practice, of a good standard. They play mixed doubles as well. Maybe the men go easy on her in practice.

@@MsRafanatic would you call a junior World no 1 the best tennis player in the world?
as a woman, it upsets me when ppl can’t accept this, bc to me it’s a logical conclusion based purely on biology
the male body is faster, stronger, and taller than the female body because of GENETICS - so the best man/men will always beat the best women in sports, NOT because women don’t work hard enough or are inferior or something, but because men were literally born with the necessary biological makeup to do it all better
so because of the science, to me there should be no shame in admitting that men are better at athletics based competitions
no one is criticizing the dove for being slower than the eagle - it’s to be expected
yet people still admire the way both birds fly
in my opinion, it takes away from all of a female athlete’s hard work when she/others try to compare her to males
it’s apples to oranges, and the categories are separate so that competition is actually fair and enjoyable for both sexes
also, another reason it’s easy for me to admit that men are better at this type of thing is bc there are so many unique things about the female body too! sure, no matter how good a woman is at sports, she’ll probably never beat men at it - but no matter how good a man is at sports, he’ll never be able to grow another human inside of him and give birth
each body has different strengths and weaknesses, and i think that’s beautiful :)

Not a single person who truly knows tennis would seriously say the #1 woman, whoever she was, could beat a male pro ranked in the top 600. Hell, she wouldn’t be able to beat most top Division 1 male players. Pro level males just serve too hard, hit too hard, and move too fast. It’s not sexist, it’s biology.

If women were on the same level as men athletically then we would not existed or not be like we know, if women were strong as men, then we would have less men, women wold be at least 1.2 times the size of a man, because women would consume most of the nutrients to be able to compete against other females in strength and also be ready to give birth, but we evolved so men compete agaisnt other male to be able to provide nutrients to the women so they could carry the males genes.

It’s annoying when people always move the goalpost... Like obviously the men will outperform the women in tennis most of the time.
In general why bring in gender if a women was the hardest working and best performing tennis player. Why isn’t it the same way as GSP is considered one of the goats in mma bc of his dominance, yet no one would argue he could beat the higher weight classes.
The irony was that McEnroe was being generous.
Indeed he was I know quite a few amateur unranked mens players that would tear her apart on the court without breaking a sweat.
Not even amateur, some men who only played once can beat them. This is already proven by how australian national female football team got beaten by middleschool boys team. Not even professional boys team, it just schools football club.
There is a recent video of a premier league player i think zaha dribbling an entire national women's team at the highest level and not even coming close to having lost the ball, complete domination.
The only hard evidence you need is to look record-based sports (100m dash, weight lifting, swimming, javelin throw, long jump, all of em) and look how far apart the mens and womens records are. The biggest irony is the records where the scores are actually not too far apart is because some dude decided he was a girl one day and permanently destroyed the female leaderboards forever.

Yes !!! Bobby was a gambler and always needed money ! I would have done the same !!!!!!!!!!!!!!😏😒😂🤣😅
Yeah, I completely concur. If you watch the telecast, the color commentator kept referring to Bobby Riggs hitting easy shots into BJ King's back-hand, which was her big money stroke. That was my first clue that Riggs was basically giving her easy points. Riggs was crazy like like a fox!
That's exactly what I was thinking watching this. If you know it's high profile and you have become a huge favorite it would be easy to dump the match and make a killing being against yourself. I think Bobby Riggs the match.
Especially after the first win.. the odds were much more in his favor so why not bet against himself
With the ability to detect anomalous betting behavior so conclusively that the MLB, NBA, and NFL have all banned players for life, you would think there would actually be proof of this case somewhere.

Yeah thank god he didn't apologize. Too many people apologize for things they shouldn't apologize for these days.

She “beat” an elderly man and they challenged someone outside of top 200. That proves way more than what they thought it would.
OK...but it was the elderly man who was thirsty for the match. It's not like she was the one looking to prove she was better. She was kind of backed into a corner and had to accept the challenge after the other girl lost so badly.

If womens leagues put out a good product then they should get paid accordingly. The players don't necessarily dictate how much money the league can make. That's on the owners and marketing and lots of other factors beyond the players control. The quality of their play is only one factor among many.

I watched the 1973 match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. It was a joke. Riggs simply served up every return shot nice and easy allowing King to take the offensive with nearly every exchange. The whole match was literally a setup.
You're using "literally" out of context (most people don't catch that).
Bobby Riggs did not return shots very hard against Margaret Court either. King was younger, quicker and a harder hitter than Court. King took advantage of Riggs weak returns while Court didn't. There is speculation that Riggs, a big gambler, threw the King match so the mob would cancel his betting debts.
Riggs was more at the entrepreneurial stage by then. Winning actually wasn't important. The figures from the match were the only things that mattered, and Bobby did quite well. However, he was in his mid fifties and had been retired quite awhile by then. He was never going to be as agile in 1973, as he was in 1939. That's just biology. Some people unfortunately don't even live to be 34 years of age. 😊

Not often recognized: Karsten Braasch wasn't really considered the #203 player for men's tennis when he played the Williams sisters. He was more like #350, but the rankings hadn't yet updated on the day they played. A few days after he trounced Serena and Venus, his ranking was updated, and it dropped from the low 200s to the mid-300s. This updated ranking was based on his record from matches played _prior to,_ and _not including,_ his match against Venus and Serena. So, they didn't get drubbed by a 200-ish ranked male player, but by a 350-ish ranked male player.

@@spyox2215 I don't doubt that in a real fight. I feel like in the real world, whatever man they get to fight her would be hesitant to even agree to it, let alone go all out due to the fact that that will almost CERTAINLY be their legacy forever.
Isn’t there a MMA fighter who is trans mtf that is out there cracking female skulls?
@@cubkul Mayweather's fight against Logan Paul was labeled as a legalized bank robbery. Amanda or any girl fighting against any top10 mma guy would be a legalized murder.
Two different games as far as I am concerned, both enjoyable to watch in their own right.
I completely support John’s comment. He was spot on, not rude, just stating facts. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Yah !

@@gondaljarrat8864 was so happy when I saw where the link went.
As a golfer when you hear someone had 2 beers you know to add 10 to that
Haha. Also, he's Australian. Add 5 more
Untrue. The 1 to 3 beer level has been proven to improve ability by a small amount. Oh, look, I see a video link coming your way: ua-cam.com/video/c84Lg33iXZE/v-deo.html
Spoiler alert: one guy doubles his drive distance after 2 beers.
A beer per hole at least

@@AllAmericanGuyExpert I hope you understand they were golfing for recreation and not competition, ya know since he’s a pro tennis player and not a pro golfer
Imagine saying a factually correct statement and being forced to apologize
Props to McEnroe for keeping his stance
Being forced?
This debate is absurd, even Serena herself admitted she was on a different league and Andy Murray would have wiped her out on a match.
