John McEnroe Won’t Apologize for His Serena Williams Ranking

[Darrell Green Fan]

Sure Venus and Sarena were teens but this just in, woman tennis players in their teens are really good. Now obviously she is better now but I think it was significant that a guy ranked 203 who had just played a round of golf, had a few beers and clearly took his foot off the gas peddle still beat them both 6-2 and 6-1.

That really should end any talk that she could compete with the top men today and his claim that she would be like 700 is not that far out of bounds. The reporter was trying to get him to say she is the best PLAYER in the world and he wouldn't go there because she isn't.

I'm not sure why we are discussing McEnroe playing her or her ranking in the top 700 or higher or whatever. McEnroe said she is not as good as the top men today. For some reason he is getting crap for that and I have no idea why because it's true.

Because I'm good at hijacking a thread. That's why!

Besides, any competition that's judged, isn't a sport.

Name one sport women could do better in than men. There isn't one. It's not sexist, it's realist.

Since you asked.
Field Hockey. Men don't play field hockey, so women are obviously better.

Also, pool/billiards.

Uh...no. Men would kick their ass in Field Hockey. Also pool is not a sport- nor is darts or anything else played in a bar.

So, that leaves out figure skating.

How about the winter sports? Skiing, luge, bobsled, etc...

Why should be apologize? The William sister got SMOKED in quick succession back in 1998 by some No namer ranked #203 in the world named Karsten Braasch While he drank brew and Smoked Cigs on changeovers. I watched the match a few years back and he was Half assing it and hardly broke a sweat. The only reason why even won a game at all was because he let them

700 ranked is being a bit kind

Serena wouldn't even make the top 1000 in the world cut


Braasch competed in a "Battle of the Sexes" contest against the Williams sisters (Venus and Serena) at the 1998 Australian Open when he was ranked 203. A decade and a half older than the sisters, Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centred around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[2] He nonetheless defeated both sisters, playing a single set against each, beating Serena 6–1 and Venus 6–2.[3]
