McEnroe has always been an obnoxious guy, this isn't anything really new from him.
I don't know why he should apologize. It's just his opinion. We can't have less than pleasant opinions about others now in America???? I'm not saying it was right or that it's not a douchy thing to say, I'm just sayin.
I doubt Serena cares what a temperamental retired tennis player thinks. I have no doubt there are several women tennis players that could beat McEnroe today.
Exactly, John McEnroe used Serena's name to stir up publicity for himself. John McEnroe was NO WHERE on her mind.
Serena wouldn't be in the top 10,000 men who are good tennis players....I wonder if she actually believes she could compete with men....surely not.
I heard a clip of her a few years ago saying how different of a game it is between men's tennis and women's tennis. She probably agrees with him, or at least knows he's right.
Serena addressed it and moved on. By this time, she's used to the nonsense and it really doesn't take away from how well she has done.
I am really tired of racist white men and women trying to come for Serena's crown but thankfully Queen Serena pays them dust....black excellence personified!!
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.
SJW Garcia-Navarro introduced her into the interview
Sorry no.
From the interview:

Again, John McEnroe was no where on Serena Williams mind. Serena did not state that she could beat the top men tennis pros so why even go there? What was the point? John McEnroe knew that he would get publicity by making snide remarks about Serena. I swear, black people STAY on the minds of you people.
It drives me crazy. Both sides of this issue. Especially in a sport like Tennis which isn't measurable. However, track and field IS measurable and world class women in track and field run times about the same as the elite male high school athletes. About the same times as average Division 1 college athletes.

You should actually read a transcript of the interview. And I could care less who is what color, you're wrong. Stop elevating yourself.

Just leave it to someone named calipoppy to turn this thread into a racist rant.

John McEnroe should have kept his racist, sexist mouth shut.
