Paging Billie Jean King… Billie Jean King white courtesy phone, please.

I mean… I’m older but tennis was always seen as a bit gay compared to other sports.

A Samoan with mental issues. I’ve known a lot of Samoans but never with any issues like this moron.

"Chicken and waffles" are racist? Did anyone tell Gladys Knight? I ate at her chicken and waffles joint (nothing special, high priced). That is not to mention Phoenix' Chicken and Waffle king, Larry "Lo-Lo" White (good, also high priced)

Tried to read through her statement, but every-other word was an F-bomb.

Soo, a Thesaurus would also be racist and misogynist....?

Aiava, who has a career-high singles ranking of 147

There’s no Affirmative Action in pro sports...yet. Sounds like sour grapes to me. She could have concluded that she has gone as far as her talent could take her. But no, it has to be racism, homophobia or whatever as the excuse for her mediocre career.

Aiava, who has a career-high singles ranking of 147,

So she's "retiring" because she can't make money in tennis. Frankly, I kinda like this. She's spewing bile on the way out. That's a lot more enteraining than being polite. It would have been better is she named names too to completely go out with a bridge burning bang.

Another professional victim with a sensitivity meter pegged at 11.....so common nowadays it’s almost cliché.

I bet if she removed herself from the social media world things wouldnt seem so horrible to her. Trolls exist everywhere- a 25 year old should know this by now. Cant take the heat, quit.

What a sore loser! She never made it to the big leagues, her obvious dream, - didn’t have the talent - so she blames racism (OF COURSE).

Paging the Williams sisters...

From Wiki

Destanee Gabriella Aiava (born 10 May 2000) is an Australian professional tennis player. She has career-high WTA rankings of world No. 147 in singles, achieved on 11 September 2017, and No. 133 in doubles, set on 5 August 2024. In 2026, Aiava lost her first round women's doubles match, and failed to qualify for the singles draw. She announced in February that she planned to retire at the end of the season, criticising the sport's sexism, racism, and homophobia

It seems she was good enough to compete professionally, and she saw what it takes to get to the highest ranks. But she herself could not get there, and now the dream has slipped away.

And she's aging-out, has lost in the first round in major tournaments over the last three years.

So her sense of loss and frustration manifests itself in the most convenient way available to the minds of deluded Western woman - she's a victim of racism and the patriarchy.

Don’t Samoans usually have a thick/big boned body type? Doesn’t seem compatible with professional tennis. Oh well, she could always try pickle ball.

Yes, Evonne Goolagong Cawley might have been a successful Australian tennis player were it not for racism in the sport. Oh, wait...

I guess she expected to be handed championships and money with little effort and criticism. Competition is tough in all jobs. Being in the spotlight on a world stage makes it worse.
