Martina Navratilova without filter on transgender athletes: her answer is talking… Dailymotion
The sequel after the ad
This is a question that comes up regularly in sports news and continues to be debated. More and more transgender athletes want to compete professionally and recently American soccer star Megan Rapinoe spoke out favorably on the matter. In an interview with the magazine Timethe most famous footballer on the planet, who has never hidden her homosexuality, wanted to support transgender athletes in their fight, while many people mention in particular the physiological advantages that they could have, especially in competitions feminine.
If there is a sportswoman who does not have her tongue in her pocket, it is Martina Navratilova and the tennis legend was quick to give her opinion on the matter. A few weeks after announcing that she was in remission from double breast and throat cancer, the athlete born in Prague in the Czech Republic and naturalized American wanted to react via her Twitter account and she did not beat around the bush. . Citing an article quoting Megan Rapinoe, she simply commented with a “Yikes…”which could be translated into French as “Ugh…”. A word that defines a feeling of worry about a subject. We therefore understand that Martina Navratilova is not really for the introduction of transgender athletes in women’s competitions.
A divisive message in the comments
A tweet that caused a lot of reaction and there are many messages to support or condemn the words of the former tennis player. “Thank you Martina for supporting women’s sport”replies a user, while another has a very different opinion: “After the end of her career and once she no longer has to deal with this kind of thing, she throws these young girls under the wheels of the bus”. Another is satisfied with a “terrible”to describe the intervention of Martina Navratilova.
A message that divides enormously, just like this subject, which has already made headlines in the past, especially in the field of swimming and it is certainly not the last time that it returns to the table.
