John McEnroe being eaten alive by his own kind (Libs)
I love it when libs eat their own! Perfect example of the stupidity of the media and of social/PC activists.

Serena Williams would be ranked 700th in the world...

So, all McEnroe did was answer a question about where Serena ranks in the world of tennis. He said she was one of the best female players ever. When questioned why he had to qualify his statement by saying "female" players rather than just "players", he said that if she played in the men's division, she'd be ranked somewhere around 700th. 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao

So, the media is in a tizzy over this... but Serena HERSELF even said:

"If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it's true. It's a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it's just a different game. I love to play women's tennis. I only want to play girls, because I don't want to be embarrassed."

We are alive at an incredible moment in human history.

We are witnessing first-hand the moment in our evolutionary history where the human mind looses its ability to rationalize.

People are just pissed because he's right. So, instead of acknowledging the truth they just attack McEnroe. Pretty sure he does not give a rat's as$ either way.

Yep, for far too many people it's more important to be politically correct than to actually be correct.

Pretty sure he's one guy the don't want to attack to his face.

Is he still married to Patty Smyth from the 80s band Scandal?

I just gained a *TON* of respect for Serena Williams...

Don't gain too much respect. She said that four years ago. She's been pretty silent on the McEnroe comment. Just one tweet asking him to leave her out of his inaccurate comments.

Apparently yes, at least according to Wikipedia.

And if true, being #700 in the world is still pretty astonishing. I could play a bit, years ago, she'd kick my, or any other good club level player, asss in 10 minutes herself.

What was that soccer massacre recently with the womens national team V. some boys U15 or 17 game?

Same deal.

I was a mid-level NCAA Div1 athlete who never qualified for men's NCAAs but my best times from back then would still win women's NCAAs in my events.

But I have to admit I would be routinely creamed by elite women in my non events, and in my events the times get closer and closer every year.

I've seen all kinds of headlines about him "dissing" her.

He couldn't have been more complementary if you actually read what he said.

All that really matters is the fact that she dominates her contemporaries in a fashion that not many people have.

I think McEnroe is dead wrong about him being able to beat her *today* but I don't think he's wrong that there she would never win on the mens circuit.

You didn't read what he said. He said she would win sometimes on the men's circuit. And later he said he would probably be ranked around 1200 now (saying she was 700), and as I recall, he was saying that would be his ranking on the women's circuit.

IMO combat sports are clearly different because of the natural physical differences between the sexes.

Pretty much anything sport that relies on strength or dexterity is not an even playing field. Females have the advantage in dexterity, males have the advantage in strength.

An example of them not being the same would be that the US Womens Olympic Hockey Team which I believe won gold (so is the best in the world), lost to a male high school hockey team. Source: http://nesn.com/2014/01/u-s-womens-olymp...w-england/

Yes they won against two other high school hockey teams, but we are talking about games between professional female Olympic athletes to regular high school males...
