    Can we be real and tell him straight up that Venus and Serena are probably 10x more recognizable than any male tennis player? Because seriously, I know who Nadal is, but I wouldn’t know a dude tennis player on the street. I doubt many others would either.

      That might be an American or North American-centric thing though. Federer/Nadal/Djokovic are pretty big deals in Europe.

      I had no idea who he was until he decided to speak about women. For our own good... I’m sure.

    SO disappointed.

    In the world of football and every other misogynist sport, men’s and women’s tennis is equally exciting. The US Open Women’s final sold out before the Men’s final.

    “How do they even play with blood coming out if their whatevers?”

    Novak has earned nearly 50 million so far. He's worried about fair compensation?

    Are all men going full Trump?

      Novak tells bad Djok? Its like he tried to say something that sounded supportive, but couldn’t help himself. :/

    Pretty rich to blame women’s behaviour on “hormones” when testosterone has been fucking everything up for millenia.

      Seriously. I’m impressed that he manages to play even though his body is going through grappling with the testosterone that turns his gender into raging assholes.

      We should pay him more for not getting his dick out and waving it about when he plays against other men.

    i am going to just hope/pray that something was lost in translation from Novak’s brain in Serbian to his mouth in English? Because he seems like such a good dude otherwise.

      “Because he seems like such a good dude otherwise.”

      THIS IS A PROBLEM. The world is not divided into “good dudes” and deatheaters. “Good Dudes” can do some racist, sexist, homophobic crappy shit and say crappy shit.

      Most people aren’t good or bad, they are just people.

      Focus on what they say and what they do. Not what they think or whether we adjudge them as being good or bad.

    “They have to go through a lot of different things that we don’t have to go through. You know, the hormones and different stuff, we don’t need to go into details. Ladies know what I’m talking about,” he said.

    Yeah, Novak, we ‘ladies’ know what you’re talking about when you say women have to go through a lot of stuff that men don’t.

    Just one tiny correction: It’s not the hormones.

      I liked that implication that it’s just a little secret between him and ladies. None of the other men know!

    My head has been spinning since I heard about Moore’s comments.

    Women should get down on their knees and thank the men? Down on their knees?

    If he isn’t fired this week, the women should boycott the tournament next year.

    I mean Indian Wells has a problematic history even before all this crap.

      A seriously problematic history indeed. With allegations of racism from arguably the best female tennis player ever. And she returns to the final after how many years and must be insulted by Moore in such a stupid, vile way? It's infuriating and he should be fired.

    I’m not a lady, so I have no idea what he’s talking about. Can someone explain?

        All this while ignoring the fact Serena or Venus would almost certainly curb stomp him and most other male tennis players in singles or doubles

          No. Serena and Venus are phenomenal players by any and every metric, but no, they could not curb stomp Novak Djokovic. That isn’t a slight on their extraordinary gifts and grit. It’s just biology and physics. That doesn’t mean that female athletes don’t need to be treated fairly and equitably with male athletes. They absolutely do. But barring a heart-attack on court, Djokovic would win that hypothetical match, and with ease.

          He’s talking complete dribble here, though. In a war of cognitive wits, the Williams sisters have left that motherfucker for dead with a sword sticking out of his chest.
