  • During an NPR interview about his new book, "But Seriously," tennis legend John McEnroe said Serena Williams would be ranked "like 700 in the world" if she played the men's circuit. On "CBS This Morning" Tuesday, McEnroe refused to apologize to Williams but said his comment "wasn't necessary."

      Thanks to the tennis community for taking him up on his offer and validating what all men (not SIMP's) knew,....all non delusional non feminist bulldogs knew.....and what anyone with an IQ higher then their shoe size could figure out. They wasted millions on this dumb sh**. This show (millions). I don't know what price this man had to pay mentally having to sit with 3 senior citizens who wasted his time questioning a fact they all knew was just that "A F****** FACT"!!!!! "Do you think you should apologize for telling a truth that makes our delusional viewers uncomfortable?".
      Why don't most young people watch tv like this, why do people storm the White House, why don't majority of people like the police, why don't people listen to politicians and people who think they're the Authority.....because (even though there are still a higher percentage of easily manipulated people in the world) there are those who help guide the easily manipulated and show them how full of sh** the people like the 3 senior citizens on the show are. And it builds mistrust and anger. Both lasting a long long time.

    • @bow_wow_wow
      @bow_wow_wow Рік тому +1

      He did well for a man his age. Men that old and older quake in their boots when women get mad at them. If men of his generation don't actually worship women, they come pretty damn close. They can't see through women's behavior at all, so women run circles around them and call all the shots. Hence, the ridiculous and sometimes appalling excesses of feminism since the Sixties.
      So, yes, the fact that John McEnroe did not completely fold on command shows great courage... graded on the very generous sliding scale that his generation needs to get by.
      On an absolute scale, he did the bare minimum to pass as far as I'm concerned. He stood his ground. That gets you a D. You can tell they scared him; it shows in the way he speaks at certain moments. Still, he stood his ground. A C performance would have been unequivocally unapologetic, no fear. A B performance would have shot back. An A performance would have turned the tables and forced these monstrous females to play defense and an A+ performance would have had them hanging from the cross before the commercial break.

There are two reasons why the subject is brought up: 1) Serena and her sister mouthed they could handle the guys, after the aforementioned match they realized the truth and kept their mouths shut. 2) Ignorant people who dont know a thing about tennis, like for example that in a lot of tournaments women play with different balls just to mention one example.

In fact, Serena, Chrissy and Martina have all said the exact same thing in the past. He was also a great champion and he gave mad respect to Serena during this interview. When will women realize that, in sports, there is a difference. yes, many women can beat many men in many sports, but at the elite level, it is a different deal all together. it certainly does not mean that it is a knock against women, its just the way it is. There is no women, period, that can compete with Tom Brady, there is no women that can pitch like Nolan Ryan, there is no women that can compete with Steph Curry in a real game situation. in fact, women use a different size basketball......and John McEnroe can beat many of the women on the tour right now at his age.

    The problem here guys is that John gave a qualified reply to a question. The embarassing thing for womens tennis is that they are on the same prize money and yet, are miles down on actual tennis performance and ability. I love the Womens game too of course, but this is an indication of the ability gap versus the same money. They don't want that brought up again for discussion.

    • @turdrhinofiend
      @turdrhinofiend 7 років тому +8

      There is a pay gap because men have to play 5 rounds and women get paid the same for 3 (and their viewing figures are less as well).
      Women tennis players are VERY lucky that tennis lends itself to having matches in the same location on the same day otherwise the viewing figures would be similar to other female sports, i.e. non-existent. (same for female mma)

    • @KnickKnack07
      @KnickKnack07 6 років тому +1

      That is not the issue with the same purses for women's tennis. Payouts should be based on revenue brought in. And THAT is the big thing wrong with women getting the same money, at least for Grand Slam events. They play an average of 35-40% shorter matches since they play only 3 set matches compared to the men's 5 sets. And like all sports, the VAST majority of revenue comes from TV deals, and the vast majority of money comes from advertising. So by having matches that are mush shorter, they are bringing in far less money.
      But it shouldn't matter which side is better. When Misty May and Kerri Walsh were lighting up the volleyball circuit, they made MORE than men because they were the ones bringing in the ratings.
