SEXISM 101: Men’s Tennis Could Learn Something From U.S. Soccer

Related Topics: Sexism, Tennis, Sport

Sexism in sports is nothing new, but fortunately the ability to call people out for being purposefully ignorant has. Thank you, internet!

The latest old, white man to express his outdated, sexist views regarding female athletes is Raymond Moore, CEO of Indian Wells, who had this to say in regards to women’s tennis:

“In my next life when I come back I want to be someone in the WTA because they ride on the coattails of the men. They don’t make any decisions and they are lucky. They are very, very lucky…If I was a lady player, I’d go down every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born, because they have carried this sport.
