Dumb thread I’m dumb This is kinda funny bc I can see the completely vapid Sportsguy being so full of himself that he thinks this is a “hot” question that he’s thought about for 14 years:

quote:

Bill Simons: I know you want to get back to Olympia, work with me here, please.

Serena Williams: Work with me (smiling.)

Simmons: We’re in this together, baby.

Serena: No, we’re not; you’re not going home to a screaming baby.

Simons: I have been waiting about 14 years to ask you this question. After the 2004 Wimbledon match with Maria, I had the opportunity to interview Donald Trump on his LA golf course, and he said that Maria’s shoulder were incredibly alluring and then he came up with this incredible analysis: That you were intimidated by her super model good looks. My question is: Have you ever been intimidated by anyone on a tennis court, and what are your thoughts about that occurrence?

Serena: I honestly don’t have any thoughts about that. I can’t say I have been intimidated by anyone. That’s all. That’s it

Oh no doesn’t it seem like a bill Simmons thing to ask though? I even had “Simons” in the quote but thought it was a typo

I don’t see anything offensive, but frick Simmons on general principal.

I got tired of his homer Boston bullshite about how every other team sucks and should trade their players to the Celtics / Pats / Sox

Bill Simmons and Jimmy Kimmel are fake SJWs.

They don’t believe that horse shite.

Just playing the game now that Jimmy gets his checks from Disney and Bill worked for Disney until a couple of years ago and now does stuff for HBO.

It’s not a coincidence that they went SJW when Disney was cutting them checks and Corolla didn’t because he started his own thing and doesn’t have to play the game.

I feel like it’s more racist than sexist because Serena Williams is about as pretty a black woman as Maria Sharapova is a white woman

Simmons can’t even be is own man on the property he owns re The Ringer because some of the most important guys at The Ringer came with him from Grantland and are big SJWs.

I’m looking at you Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald.

Ridiculous. Some women are prettier than others. If you are comparing two women's looks and the more common of the two is black that's racism? The thoughts of an id. Pretty is pretty and ugly goes to the bone.

That's actually a really stupid question, not a racist question.

That's like people asking about "how pretty Chris (now goes by Chrissy to sound more feminine) Evert is" to Martina Navratalova or Steffi Graf in the 80's.

No. If you're going to compare like things but different races, you compare Maria Sharapova and Sloane Stephens or Madison Keys...you know, women who are actually pretty and/or similar in looks.

Maria Sharapova is the one who is racist.

Look at her eating this banana like some kind of ape.




Absolutely disgusting.

She looks like she could suit up at LB for the Saints. Of course nobody intimidates her.

Maria is much better looking than Serena but Maria isn’t very good looking.

I rate them
7 vs 3 looks
9 vs 10 money
3 vs 8 in a bar fight

It’s like everyone in the Northeast and west coast press use the smallest tangential issue to get a digg at Trump. I wonder how many rounds of cuck approval Simmons received at his last cocktail party.
