Well, she got flack. Not overwhelming flack. Not if it was some white male conservative and not nearly as much flack as McEnroe gets for stating the truth in regards to women's tennis and men's tennis .If a white Christian man said that.........ohhhhhhh boyNavratilova was a manMany years ago women did play 3 out of 5 sets for a while, and it was discontinued. I think it was a problem with conditioning. Today's women are in great physical shape and should be able to go 5 sets. Martina Navratilova was the first woman to seriously work out in the gym and she jokingly said that she would never lose a 5 set match.
The irony of your silly comment is that Navratilova has said she considers trans women sports players to be cheating.
Navratilova got a lot of flack for her comments. She was accused of being transphobic, of basing her opinion on outdated stereotypes, etc.
I don't even know what McEnroe has said regarding men's vs women's tennis.
I'm sorry if you don't think Navratilova was attacked enough for her comments.
