Some
idiot tennis tournament official said crude, dumb stuff about female players
sliding by on the coattails of the men; that man, thankfully, no longer has a
job. Then some idiot player said men
should get paid more because the men’s game is more popular. Forget history with Martina Navratilova and
Chris Evert and Steffi Graf and just think Serena Williams. This guy thinks he’s more popular than her? Get real, buddy.
But
this idea of equality strikes a chord with me, maybe to the point I’m going to
say something dumb here: women should play five sets to a match just like the
men do. This way, there’ll be even less
cover for idiots to say dumb things. Women
regularly played best-of-five sets in the 1980s and ’90s. Then things got dumb.
