It arrives, is on my coffee table, I read a feature article (some of which are good), and then--the next thing I know, I read more--and there will be some comment in some essay or feature that is just inappropriate.<br /><br />Your question, David, is a good one. Tennis has a lot of good information in it, but at times, it contains offensive things--things that are all the rage now, of course. <br /><br />Habit. temptation.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-42306129519752889262010-06-04T00:00:36.808-05:002010-06-04T00:00:36.808-05:00Why would you read a sexist, homophobic, and ageis...Why would you read a sexist, homophobic, and ageist publication?Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-17836847329102142822010-06-03T21:01:47.326-05:002010-06-03T21:01:47.326-05:00Oops.

On the one hand, she ...Evert is a big of an enigma. On the one hand, she says things like this, and she is friends with some people I find unsavory. But she was also the woman who stood in front of the world and told them to lay off of Martina--that her sexual orientation had nothing to do with anything. And--once she was old enough to rebel (a little) against her father, she also supported the BJK-Rosie group in the early days of the WTA.<br /><br />I wish she were still a French Open commentator; it isn't the same without her.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-72041391995969426212010-06-03T17:35:57.174-05:002010-06-03T17:35:57.174-05:00I am not surprised by this coming from Chris Evert...I am not surprised by this coming from Chris Evert. I have to confess that listening to her doing commentary when they show classic matches on TC you get the feeling that she is the stereotypical WASP female who did not think much of anyone outside her circle. <br /><br />I also got that from Tracy Austin at the recently held Hit for Haiti held in Miami. Listening to Tracy, Lindsay Davenport and Steffi Graf chatting it up it just reminded me of when I first joined my own tennis club and seeing the looks of the wives of the movers and shakers act like they owned the place while you felt a bit out of place. .
