Outrage After Female Tennis Star Asked to 'Twirl' on Court
GMA ^ | 123 Jan 2015

Posted on 01/23/2015 8:27:35 AM PST by shove_it

It's a twirl that now has some heads spinning.

Just moments after seventh-ranked Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard crushed her opponent in 54 minutes to advance to the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday, Australian commentator, Ian Cohen, asked her to “twirl” to show off her hot-pink outfit.

The interviewer’s request has now sparked a flood of criticism and cries of sexism.

In a video of the incident, Bouchard can be seen on the tennis court following her easy defeat of Kiki Bertens in the second round of the competition.

Cohen then tells the 20-year-old: “Now yesterday, or last night, you tweeted that you loved Serena [Williams]’ outfit. ... She was kind enough to give us a twirl. Can you give us a twirl and tell us about your outfit?”

Now that’s what I call “getting behind the ball!” She is definitely “mass stabilized.”

< All the Fem-Nazis are going to freak out now, “Oh oh a hetero showed his sexual preference! He must be terminated!”. Meanwhile the public is forced to watch homos shoving their tongues down each other throat at every opportunity.

Feminazis are just jealous. Look at one and you'll understand why...

Your points are valid; however, the guy still shouldn't have asked her for a twirl. She's a 20-year-old woman, not his daughter playing dress up.

If SHE was not offended, then it's nobody else's business.

Outrage coming from people who don’t watch ladies tennis, approval coming from those who do watch ladies tennis.

What in the world is that on the left hip of her underwear?

Although I'm not complaining, I don't understand why women tennis players haven't switched to shorts instead of skirts. Are there any other sports where women wear dresses?
