It's not sexism, it's WTA-ism. Are women not allowed to be criticized anymore because it's immediately supposed to be an affront to the universal condition of womanhood?

I don't agree with him, but why does it have to be sexism? He's just wrong. He doesn't even have to be an idiot. It's such a cheap retort.

I understand what you're thinking , but he's not insulting the bureaucracy of the WTA or how their calendar is setup. He's saying that it's the women playing the sport, not anything else, that's not as important as the men.

Also, the bit about how women should get on their knees. I'm not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.

He didn't say they should get on their knees and suck a dick. He said they should knee to thank god, and it was obviously a figure of speech. You could say that about a man anytime, it's perfectly applicable both ways. It has nothing to do with sexism. In fact, people actually do use all the time this phrase in reference to men.

I think he's old enough to know EXACTLY what he was implying with that comment.

Is he saying or even implying that women don't produce tennis as good as men do because they are women? I don't see where. He's just saying that for whatever reason women tennis players or this particular generation of women are not as good for business as the men. He bay be wrong because he's uniformed, or he's not very bright, or whatver, but it doesn't have to be sexism yet again.

He's not saying women are inherently less important, he's saying the WTA players of this era are not as succesful as the ATP company. But maybe they will be in the future? It's a capitalistic fact that the more money your produce the more important you are. It's not a metaphysical statement. It's just business. When women stars will have the same or more economical power than Federer and Nadal, he will probably give them more praise and more attention. What makes you think he won't?

Yeah, why can't the CEO of a MIXED event not shit all over the WTA. LOL. His word choice and later comments about 'attractive' players are sexist. And I don't see sexism everywhere I look.

Plenty of men getting exposure because fans came to see Serena and Venus.

Fine, he's wrong and ignorant. But where's the sexism?

[–]Realtrain 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

His ignorance is his sexism.

Bullshit! You're just not allowed to criticize a woman's work or a group of women's in today's fascist matriarchy. A person should be allowed to have a low opinion about the whole tour of women's tennis without sounding sexist. He's nowhere implied that this generation of women tennis players sucks because women are inferior to men.

Calm down.

To play along with your argument , he even implied that this isn't a temporary situation by saying he'd like to be a female player in his next life, that would be at least 20 years down the road.
