I’ve been watching tennis since I was a kid and although it has been exciting to see the sport reach new levels of popularity amongst younger audiences and the media in recent years, a huge downside to this is that the entire sport has become increasingly more poisoned by the worst parts of online culture: constant obsession with victimhood, incessant race-baiting, braindead complaints about “representation.”
Tennis is unique because of the decorum, elegance, and respect at its core. The sport transcends the low-level oppression Olympics that resides on TikTok. We don’t want players pretending they are Rosa Parks just because they are funded by Ben Crump Law and they’re looking for their social justice moment of fame.
We grew up watching Serena and Venus Williams dominate the sport, without having to listen to the condescending speeches about why their win was more historically important than Maria Sharapova’s because of the color of their skin. It was only in recent years that everything was twisted into a constant, trashy race war.
@tacobell As a lifelong Taco Bell fanatic, I feel betrayed. I ordered a Luxe cravings box and this was the crunchy taco I received. Very disappointed with where the quality of my beloved chain has gone.
