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.
If you’re staring at other men playing with their balls then it means you’re a fag. Obviously, watching woman’s beach volleyball doesn’t fall into this category.

Huh? I severely trashed my left arm going into my freshman year of high school (surfing)... I watched any high school athletic aspirations circle the drain... it was baaad...Coach Martin steered me towards tennis and discus both right handed sports fit the bill. The continued PT and full recovery from that accident took until I was going into my 21st year. I would have gone crazy without those two sports available.
Oh and ballroom dancing (elective) and orchestra (double bass). Needless to say I never had a problem getting dates for dances etc... and to top it off I passed the physical for military service at 22. Field archery was another sport that presented itself but my left arm was sufficiently strengthed before I could participate at a competitive level.
