It as an exhibition match and was all part of the show, basically. It's a comedy thing, it wasn't a serious match. FFfs

It's extremely cool and funny to take a legitimately funny event (fatass yells advice at professional athletes, gets invited to play along, gets his poo poo slapped and makes an rear end of himself) into an event in the grand cultural war against the evil SJW forces

The difference is that in good sports you are going to be yelling at the athletes along with thousands of others, but tennis has to have this weird as gently caress atmosphere of culture and solemnity so if you yell at a tennis match yours is going to be the one, annoying voice disrupting the whole vibe, making it more like heckling a comedian or speaker than cheering at a sporting event.

Basically, if you want to yell, watch a sport that isn't boring poo poo. Soccer, for instance.

The grunting is strategic. A professional player can get a lot of info about the ball from the sound it makes being hit by the racket.

If this headline is true why would a tiny fat man try to play any sport against a professional regardless of gender? And are female tennis players so lacking in confidence they even need to bother with this exhibition rather than telling him to just sit down and stfu? I'm not buying it.

Something something huffingtonpost something great victory something etc

In all seriousness female athletes face a lot more demands than male athletes from spectators and media but they should have been mindful of the fact that they were reinforcing a preconception when trying to dispel it

Funny vid though

I don't think you understand how ingrained the "women can never be better than a man" mindset is in the patriarchy. There are string bean little punk rear end twinks who have never thrown a punch in their lives who think they could beat down ronda rousing just because they have a penis

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

Nobody was even being a dick yelling unwanted advice.

quote:

Away from Centre Court, Kim Clijsters was having a bit of fun in her match asking the crowd whether she should place her serve wide or down the middle. A man in the crowd suggested "BODY," speaking of a body serve in which a player attempts the serve right at their opponent in an effort to jam them.

Clijsters laughed in reply, "You said body? Why don't you go there?!" inviting him to the court to the great applause of the crowd. The man didn't back down, borrowing a racquet and taking to the court
