Minny, how do you feel about it being named Arthur Ashe stadium? Black and gay….yikes
Absolutely zero problem w the Gay community, more power to them.

There are more deserving players than Ashe / King to have a Stadium named after

In fact, laugh all you want, but the one dude that made tennis relevant 70s-99s was Bobby Riggs.

Bobby deserves some recognition, because since that generation & his fans have moved on, American tennis is, like Ashe, dead.

Most people do, that don’t know his story. I thought he was too for the longest time.
I'm sure Vitty was referring to Ashe as a black & King as a gay.

Ashe was a social activist clown

King is the real worthy component of naming rights here, and even she owes 50% to Riggs (and Court).

Tennis has 0 future in America unless we get a Kryiogiois type to cheer along.

Otherwise, ATP/ WTA have 2 blacks as the face of their game, and that's just not good enough.

Did you really play TT Warrior in tennis?
