McEnroe didn't say sorry is satisfying.

“wOuLd yOu LiKe tO aPoLoGiZe?” “uh, no.”

Serena Williams was probably surprised by her loss to a man ranked so low. She even admitted they purposely chose someone that low b/c they thought he'd been easy to beat and it'd be a lopsided win for her. She was very shocked that he crushed her and readily admitted that men - even less talented men - have a HUGE advantage over women in sports. Seriously, I was impressed by her honesty and people need to shut up about the whole thing.

The same year Chris Evert won the French Open and number one in the world, she played a practice match against her older brother! Drew was a member of the Auburn University men’s tennis team. He beat her on clay 6-0, 6-0!

If women were on the same level as men athletically, there wouldn’t be “women’s sports”.

Mans played golf and drank some beers with some friends then beat both Williams sisters in tennis handily in the same day. What an absolute legend.

"75 year old bobby riggs confidentally taking on 19 year old teenager" 💀

The worst part about the MacEnroe comment was that he got so much hate for it but Serena agreed with him. It’s a good publicity stunt but no one who actually plays tennis would ever say that the women and men are equal. Don’t believe me, look at Serena’s interview about it.

Not a single person who truly knows tennis would seriously say the #1 woman, whoever she was, could beat a male pro ranked in the top 600. Hell, she wouldn’t be able to beat most top Division 1 male players. Pro level males just serve too hard, hit too hard, and move too fast. It’s not sexist, it’s biology.

“Do you think Serena Williams is the best in the world?” “No. Would you like to see?” “No, but would you like to apologize?” The media is a joke 😂😂

So to sum up the matches: 1. The old man one against a young woman. 2. The man lost, but he threw the match to win a bet. 3. The rules handicapped the man. 4. The man was a low ranked player, but won anyway.

The match few remmember is the 1992 battle between legends Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova. Connors was 40, past his prime and Navratilova was 35, and still a force in the game. The court was specially painted so that Martina had the full court while Jimmy only had the singles court, and on top of that Martina had two serves while Jimmy had only one. Jimmy defeated Martina 75 62. Why was he only allowed the singles court and why onlyone serve. One thing is for certain, if Martina hasd won, we would have never heard the last of it, there would have been books, films and documentaries.

People need to realize. Being offended doesn’t mean you’re right.

Men in tennis - "we can beat serena" serena - "they can beat me" media - "NO ONE COULD BEAT HER!!!" lol

I think it's very clear Bobby Riggs threw the match and bet against himself. His performance against King was completely different from the one with Court

Serena was at her best when she admitted the difference. I've seen the good and the bad from her, so it's nice to see that she's human just like everyone else.

"Oi, bet you can't beat the Williams sisters" "Hold my third beer..."

Just like the women’s US soccer team got smoked by a team comprised of male children.

Imagine asking a man a question, and him answer it with complete honesty, and then people get offended and ask you if you would like to apologize for your honesty...

I watched the 1973 match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. It was a joke. Riggs simply served up every return shot nice and easy allowing King to take the offensive with nearly every exchange. The whole match was literally a setup.

McEnroe is such an honest guy. When that lady stated "I'm just waiting for you to apologize", his answer was simply, uh no.

Content Creator: Here's a video with facts UKposts reviewer: So you have chosen _demonitization_

Serena Williams herself said in interview that she would stand no chance against similarly ranked male players; "If I played Andy [Murray] I'd be lucky to take a single game. Men's and women's tennis are totally different sports."

bro its hilarious how everybody was so surprised and supportive of billy jean king when she was literally 29 while riggs was 55

I will always enjoy the fact that the Williams sisters claimed they'd beat any man outside the top 200, and a guy outside the top 200, after 2 beers, crushes both of them.

As a female, I dont get why women want to compare themselves to men. Biologically different. Period. End of discussion. Move on?

so let me get this straight, They made a movie about margaret beating a 50 year old in tennis but not the 50 year old beating the 25 year old?

Chris Evert, at the top of her career, dismissed Riggs v. BJK saying " no woman could beat a NCAA Division II man, let alone a touring pro." BTW, Riggs was handicapped (1 serve v. 2, doubles line for BJK) similar to Connors. Why was that not mentioned?

Dude really came off an afternoon drinking with his bro’s and playing a totally different sport and mopped both Williams sisters I’m dying

as a woman, it upsets me when ppl can’t accept this, bc to me it’s a logical conclusion based purely on biology the male body is faster, stronger, and taller than the female body because of GENETICS - so the best man/men will always beat the best women in sports, NOT because women don’t work hard enough or are inferior or something, but because men were literally born with the necessary biological makeup to do it all better so because of the science, to me there should be no shame in admitting that men are better at athletics based competitions no one is criticizing the dove for being slower than the eagle - it’s to be expected yet people still admire the way both birds fly in my opinion, it takes away from all of a female athlete’s hard work when she/others try to compare her to males it’s apples to oranges, and the categories are separate so that competition is actually fair and enjoyable for both sexes

the Riggs and Billy match fixed --- it was show and a good one at that .

your editing is dope

"Would you like to apologize?" "Uhm, no?" LOL

Apologizing for telling the truth, that's the 21st century for you folks.. especially the last 10 years

2:11 100% agree with him 😂

As a former college tennis player (FIU 2001-2003) I completely agree with John McEnroe, it´s a fact

He wasn't flippant toward the serena, he was flippant toward the interviewer, who was pretending not to know that female tennis players can't beat male tennis players. She wanted him to play along, for him to also pretend not to know this, and he refused.

"Equality"? A 29 year old in their prime versus a 55 year old retiree?

Mike Estep, Navratilova's coach during 84-86, refused to state openly that he beat Martina, but it was obvious he could. Venus and Serena's hitting partner who did not make the pro tour, said neither got more than two games a set of him as well.

I would argue that, since Mcenroe came under fire, there is a reason to see this scenario played out. If those people think he was wrong, they should step up and try, if they are qualified, or not give him so much flack.

Reportor: Yo, give me facts Him: alright here you go The world: those facts are sexist

“Riggs bet on himself to win the Wimbledon singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events, all in the same year...” Me: “Haha, what an idiot” “Which he won” Me: ...

Riggs threw that match against King. The fact that he was known to be a heavy gambler, have serious debts, and went out of his way to promote the match and pump up the betting odds in his favor screamed set-up. The fact that it can't be proven just means he covered his tracks VERY well.

Love the Williams Letterman interview where she says she doesn't want to play against a man saying she would lose.

"Serena Williams is the best tennis player ever and how dare you say the Men are better than the Women" "Well if you say so, I guess I'll just combine the divisions and just have the Tennis Association that is open to everyone to compete in equally" "Wait, no"

Weird reality that McEnroe HAS to apologize for saying Serena is not the best ever Period....

Legend is Bobby Riggs bet against himself in that match he lost against BJK.

I'm surprised that this video wasn't taken down.

The women's US soccer team couldn't beat an all boys high school soccer team on the field.

She “beat” an elderly man and they challenged someone outside of top 200. That proves way more than what they thought it would.

Life is not an anime: we are painfully bound by the laws of physics.

one day in high school we crashed girl's netball game. had boys vs girls game. we played basketball had no idea how to play netball, learned the rules for five seconds and the rest is history.

Interviewer: Would you like to apologize...for stating facts? John: Um? No?

Calling Serena Williams the overall greatest tennis player is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard

You left out the RULES, as BGK enjoyed the "doubles match court VS singles for Bobby.

The irony was that McEnroe was being generous.

McEnroe had NO REASON to apologize. He said the truth, period

Martina Navratilová :D not Martyna Narutolova :D:D but gut video :)

McEnroe should have apologize..... to absolutely nobody

News anchor: “Would you like to apologize?” McEnroe: “ah, no.” 💣 💥 Classic.

"We can beat any man ranked outside the top 200!" Weird flex, but okay.

Riggs vs King was the biggest PR stunt to date the pro tennis has ever come up with.

Interesting how the only one of these 4 matches I'd ever heard about before watching this video was Riggs vs. King.

When I was 16, my youth soccer team met and beat the best womens team in the country (Norway) 13-0. They were so mad😂.

Williams Sisters - Lose to rank 208 player Interviewer - That makes them the best in the world

i can't believe the the person that i thought was the greatest tennis player failed to beat someone who is ranked 203

I enjoyed watching this Tennis history regarding Men vs Women. My love for Tennis started in the 90's and continues to this day. As with each generation, improvement and skills are very noticeable with speed and power at the forefront of the modern game. These days I do watch more female matches than I did when first getting hooked on the sport. The future of Tennis is in wonderful hands with the current crop of players on both sides. Game, Set and Match ... Tennis!!! 🎾

Shout out to McEnroe for standing his ground and not apologizing for something he shouldn't apologize ever.

Big respect to John McEnroe for standing his ground

Not often recognized: Karsten Braasch wasn't really considered the #203 player for men's tennis when he played the Williams sisters. He was more like #350, but the rankings hadn't yet updated on the day they played. A few days after he trounced Serena and Venus, his ranking was updated, and it dropped from the low 200s to the mid-300s. This updated ranking was based on his record from matches played _prior to,_ and _not including,_ his match against Venus and Serena. So, they didn't get drubbed by a 200-ish ranked male player, but by a 350-ish ranked male player. _Res ipsa loquitur._

Top ladies snooker player got to play on men's tour last year.. She was beaten in ever match except a 1 frame shootout

You know it's a weird time when facts are taken as insults...

"the worst type of inequality is trying to make unequal things equal"- Aristotle 😎

Dude placed bets on himself losing lol

Hannah T your reply anc stateme t so e.oquently put and with reslect to both sides. Abree witn All your statements. I must say though that there has been some games inproffessional womens Tennis tnat I have paid big Aus $$ to get a front row seat. Martina v Chris Evert, Stef Graff v Martina. Not once did i look upon it as awomens game, just a Great battle ( in Autralia btw)..👌👌👌 Thankyou for your thoughtfull views 👏👏

30 year old active professional women beat an old retired man wow

Respect to McEnroe for not backpedaling after saying the honest truth!! The main stream media sucks!!

Bobby Riggs was 53 years old, I think at the time. Not taking anything away from women's tennis, but professional tennis players in the 50 will decimate the women's top 10.

I love John McEnroe, I've watched all of his Wimbledon matches and enjoyed his rhetoric, remember him calling an empire fat turd😂. Tennis was fun in those years.

87 million people play tennis world wide, therefore it should be pointed out that: 1) Serena Williams is insanely good at tennis 2) The 700th best tennis player is insanely good at tennis

Imagine a women challenges Roger Federer in his prime and he accepts it.. Dude 😂

Still can remember when i used to have one of the Williams as GOAT of their places as a counterpart of Nadal as a little boy. Damn, if only i discovered the memes about her before those times could be 50% more funnier than watching her playing.

This dude bet against himself, let her win and walked away with tons of cash.. Savage 100 emoji

As a woman I see nothing wrong with John's statement. It is a fact and we should put emotions aside.

Good video

She was competing with a 55 year old man who she first lost to, wow ,that man is a menace in his sport

imagine defeating an elderly dude in tennis and celebrating like you won the US open

I agree with McEnroe. If you really want to see equal matches, combine the Men's and Women's divisions and let them duke it out on the clay.

Connors was always my favorite.

Serena said it right, men tennis and women tennis are different sports. I really enjoy both.

Serena Williams herself said that mens and womens tennis are two totally different sports. She is realistic because she knows her stuff. All that doesn't take ANYTHING away from the work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears female athletes invest in their performance. But there are boundaries set by biology that you simply can't overcome.

I’m so glad he doubled-down and didn’t apologize. No one should have to apologize for being right just because it’s hurts your feelings. Too many people would rather listen to a comforting lie than an inconvenient truth.

Mac speaks the truth

JMac was just being 100 percent real.

Can’t believe everyone fell for his plan, literally easy money, win the first, bet against yourself and deliver your own result, what a premium hustler😆😆🤣❤️

Respect To McEnroe for not apologizing for stating an absolute fact!

my family was glued to the tv for the riggs-king match. riggs was old and a little chubby but still did ok. i did wonder if he bet against himself. there is a great episode of the odd couple with bobby riggs

damn 6:57 has some nice pics, i love the game of badminton

I respect John even more now. He spoke how he felt and didn't back down. If there's a question about men & women sports then like John said combine them and there would be no more questions

"would you like to apologize?" uhh why would he apologize for speaking the truth
