It always bothered me when I saw Serena— point blank she’s the best tennis player. She’s the best tennis player and one of the greatest athletes ever, right?
So, the fact that Maria Sharapova was even in the conversations at the time and was making as much money.
Things have shifted now because Maria got suspended, but the fact that was even in the conversation, Maria Sharapova didn’t even have as close to as many grand slams as Serena does.
And to me I use that as an example to show the imbalance. it’s not just Serena. It’s athletes, entertainers that don’t get the same opportunities, don’t get the same pay and even from a perspective of women but that wasn’t exactly what I was talking about. It’s just the inequality in that.
That’s why I say that Serena lyric and you seen what Viola Davis said. She was like, “Look man these are some of the only things we’ve been offered."
Viola Davis was speaking on it and I just supported it.
