IndignantBastardDidn't know Serena Williams' fiance is the founder of Reddit. Mind kind of blown.
Nicki H ☑️@IndignantBastard I didn't know she won a grand slam while pregnant. She's a damned superhero.
It's crazy. Best female athlete ever.
@IndignantBastard Female athlete, eh? There's no way to compare I suppose. No man is ever going to attempt to do what she did.
Well, yeah, female athlete. It is a ridiculous notion to suggest that she is better than any male athlete ever let alone the best male tennis players in the world. It's simple physiology.
@IndignantBastard I'm not certain I'm reading this right: "ridiculous notion to suggest she is better than any male athlete ever". Do mean that she is not better than ANY male athlete ever or that it would be ridiculous to say that she is better than EVERY male athlete ever? It's an important distinction.
It is an apples and oranges debate strictly from a physiological standpoint alone. I'm talking about Head-2-head competiton between Serena and male athletes. You mean to tell me Pete Sampras couldn't win that many titles vs. all of the women Serena faced? That is my point. She's the best female athlete ever but you can't compare her to male athletes because it is just ridiculous.
@IndignantBastard I am aware that men have a genetic predisposition to be stronger and larger than most women, which gives them an advantage in most sports. I'm not debating the physiology argument. What I asked was whether or not you think it's feasible to say that she could be better than SOME male athletes. (I don't have an issue with your argument so much as the language you used; I'm trying to get a read on what you actually meant.)
Not better than male pro tennis players. That is my point. She would kick my ass in a tennis match but I would destroy her in boxing, basketball, hockey, football, sprinting, and the list goes on.
@IndignantBastard Huh. I think you make a lot of assumptions.
@IndignantBastard You've earned your name on this one. 😛
You should see me in real life.
@IndignantBastard I think threats are a breach of the ROC around here.
@IndignantBastard joke. About seeing you in real life.
I'm completely smoochable
@IndignantBastard You're incorrigible.
Don't sweet talk me
@IndignantBastard Why do you boost my parts of our convo?
Because I'm the Indignant Bastard
@IndignantBastard Are you certain that it's not so that someone can explain my jokes to you?
Maybe your jokes just aren't funny:)
@IndignantBastard You wouldn't know, would you? ;)
@IndignantBastard Ok. Enough fun for now. I'm going to do work.
@IndignantBastard I love that you used "apples and oranges" because that was exactly what I thought about judging any athlete against the prowess of a woman who can win championships while running around with a gestating human inside her. :) Only a hand full of people can know what that's like.
