John McEnroe condemns ‘homophobic’ Margaret Court to ‘past where she belongs’

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

he and his brother are great in calling matches. Two of the best out there.

I am the first to admit I don't know much about tennis or really follow it, however McEnroe always seemed like an overgrown spoiled brat

shriekapova? we aren't a hater are we?

is that what the espn announcers told you to think? or is it just the serena creed of never giving credit to anyone especially sharapova.

sharapova had shoulder problems beginning in 2007 and 2 surgeries thereafter. up until that point they were 2 and 2 h2h.

sharapova never won wimbledon or the us open again. she won the australian just before her second surgery, and then never won that again. all this happened prior to her 21st birthday.

after the surgeries, sharapova lost velocity on her serve and accuracy on her shots.

I think it was the DD boob implant for her modeling career that ruined her game

there are plenty of professional tennis players who peak at 17

but it also matters who is also peaking when you peak. Serena just ended up being one of the best and Maria just couldn't overtake her.

sharapova's shoulder injuries contributed. she had 2 surgeries, and prior to those surgeries was holding her own against serena.

Funny, the Bible also says that a rich man can't go to Heaven and most people kind of breeze by that one....

the bible doesn't really say that.

I remember watching an epic match between Mac and Borg when I was pretty young, I started out disliking John for being such a whiner but the icy Borg was impossible to warm up to. Pretty sure Mac pulled it out in 5 sets and I went nuts.
John struck me as a less than super elite athlete who did as well as he did because of smarts and toughness....still an asshole, though.

I guess you discount Matthew, Mark, and Luke from the New Testament, then?

That's my recollection as well. I also remember his ill fated talk show on MSNBC. When one of his guests was @Cyder I knew he was in trouble

offensive remarks? pot meets kettle?

McEnroe is an asshat.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven

Remember the spread SI did on Stefi Graf in the late 80s? Yowza!

god actually gave wealth to many people, abraham, soloman, jacob, joseph, job, etc etc.

what is discouraged is the love of money above true riches.

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”

McEnroe is an asshat.

and an attention whore.

and an attention whore.

He also got the pube perm

and an attention whore.

I don't think so.

He's just opinionated. He is still relevant to the sport and I would consider him an ambassador for tennis today.

The game needs attention. If he brings it, so be it.

you are entitled to your opinion, but i view him as more of a bigmouth who likes to hear himself talk. and i don't think the attention he ever brought to the game was actually good attention.

None if which addresses the camel/eye/needle passage.... it's pretty damned clear in what it says

I also think he is a big mouth, but I think he is important to the game of tennis.

He can be controversial at times, but he's harmless.

They just turn me on, so I inject them into any discussion
