As Serena Williams' her playing career ended Friday night, there's a good case to be made that she is the greatest female player of all time.
Even so, facts still matter. And in extolling Serena, CNN got one fact glaringly wrong. Co-host John Berman brought on CNN sports correspondent Carolyn Manno, who claimed:
"What Brianna [Keilar] said at the top, the longevity piece, is so important. Because she is in the pantheon of all-time greats. But she has outlasted Michael Jordan and Tom Brady."
Serena has outlasted Tom Brady??
Serena is retiring at age 40. Tom Brady is 45, and is about to begin his 22nd season in the NFL, playing as the starting QB of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Very strong 300-pounders will be looking to pound him into the turf—something that rarely occurs on a tennis court.
CNN also focused on Serena saying in her post-match interview that throughout her career, she has been playing with "an X on my back."

personally, fair or unfair, the sisters were not my cup of tea, and besides being caustic, bitter, self centered, and arrogant , they didn't have much of a personality.....
She’s black trash and ugly too. Her ass doesn’t fit her body. Whatever happened to ladies?
Didn’t some high school boy whup her ass at tennis, or am I thinking of someone else
How so? In that she is a poor sportswoman and showed in defeat petulance and a quick out-of-control temper? Yeah, she has an 'X' on her back for that! As for me, I am glad to say Adios! to her! Not ready to nominate her for sainthood.
$260 million in the bank. A huge stadium packed with adoring fans, including many celebrities. Gushing profiles all over the media.
Yup, life is tough for X-on-my-back Serena Williams!
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I don’t recall Tom Brady ever threatening to shove a football up a sideline ref’s ass
Same here.
I think Venus has conducted herself with much more class than Serena.
An X on her back? Poor widdle oppressed multi-millionaire Sewena. I’m sure we all feel her pain. Gimme a large, industrial size break.
She had a net worth of $260 million dollars and is still a victim?
She didn’t outlast that white girl who beat her ass 6-1...
they keep saying she “dominated” her sport like no other..first off, Margaret Court still owns ALL the Championship records in women’s tennis...Wayne Gretzky dominated his sport like no other with records that will NEVER be broken...and 3..Brady is transcending his sport, doing things never done before....of course, we all know why they are pushing this narrative. Gender and especially Race....never ends.
You have to multiply it by 7 in dog years...ooops I mean women athlete years.
She was on a talk show and said she wouldn’t play a guy as it’s not fair.
She realized the huge difference between men and women.
More like Chip on her Shoulder
What ever perceived “X” is on her back-—NO ONE WORKED HARDER TO PUT IT THERE THAN SERENA HERSELF.
She has been arrogant & classless since her first court appearance.
Attitude like her Dad.
she is a poor sportswoman and showed in defeat petulance and a quick out-of-control temper?
Gee, the national Negro poor or no impulse control cultural meme, Are not most normal white people disgusted to the point of loathing of a cohort of the population who displays no or little impulse control and engages in some form of violence as integral to their personas and demands respectful recognition of their vileness?
They never drop the victimhood line.
