Tennis Australia 'more proud of gender neutral toilets' than Margaret Court | Sky News Australia

Sky News host Rita Panahi says “Margaret Court's extraordinary sporting feats make her arguably Australia's greatest ever female athlete”, however, Tennis Australia are “more proud of the opening of gender neutral toilets at Melbourne Park”.

Ms Panahi said ahead of the 50th anniversary of her grand slam year next week, “in the eyes of Tennis Australia, her record-breaking exploits are tainted because she is a devout Christian who is opposed to same sex marriage”. According to Ms Panahi, Tennis Australia are “reluctantly acknowledging” the “trailblazing woman who dominated the sport at the highest level”.

Priorities people - we have got them all wrong.

suthernx It's all about the $$$money

suthernx Well she would say that. No evidence to support the claim.

Her beliefs are called freedom of expression

Tennis Australia should be ,very careful about snubbing our finest player. The majority of Australians support Margaret Court.

Gender neutral toilets have been around for years. Nothing new. catchingup

I won't watch tennis anymore!

What are gender neutral toilets? How does it work?

Shame, Tennis Australia, Shame

History is irrelevant to our progressiveness. I look forward to open air toilets without barriers

If only she’d stuck to what she is good at .. tennis .. and stop setting herself up as the judge and jury of how others live their lives maybe things would have been more straightforward

RitaPanahi Yes they are. A credit to AustralianOpen tennis australia is inclusive Your sporting accomplishments start to take a back seat when you preach hate to minority groups. LGBTQI+ GenderNeutral margaret court can stay behind her bigotry pulpit 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈✅

Gender neutral toilets are a danger to women/girls. Why is no one objecting?

Margaret Court is a true Australian Champion. Tennis Australia are scared rabbits. AustralianOpen TennisAustralia

Tennis Australia are a disgrace.

TA despicable behaviour.

Court McKay Fraser toss of the coin.

RodS108443078 Just waiting for the first ' incident ' re the toilets & tennis Australia's reaction. Watch out ladies & children.

Tennis Australia are a bunch of Jelly Backed weaklins to frightened of upsetting the mens hairdo brigade, should all be sacked.

DustyRh17855660 Fracking great! If idiot snowflake Panahi is having a howl, the world is moving in the right direction.

LyleShelton Rita - 'Like many Australians I believe in free speech!' Me - 'May I ask you a question? Why do you feel it is wrong to question hateful rhetoric Rita?' BLOCKED Yeah......you really believe in free speech. BraindeadMoron Hypocrite RitaLiar

Can I have some if what you're on Rita...

Because they are ignorant. It's about time Chistians and people that share their morals boycott these progressive activities. When they don't acknowledge their greats the history is gone, and that is what drives rivalries.

Emirates airline is state owned. They have the death penalty for being gay....& they sponsor The Australian Open. Tennis Australia is saying, hanging gays is ok, but Margaret Courts religious freedom which includes opposing gay marraige, is not. What a farce.

BigV2011WCE When are they going to add the Gender Fluid toilets?

Well American SerenaWilliams won't be the one that breaks Australian Margaret Court's record for most women's grand slam singles titles won! 🤔😯🙀 AusOpen AustralianOpen

TennisAustralia should not be honouring a child abuser... And is DanielAndrewsMP fine with Melbourne forever being associated with a child abuser? AustralianOpen

That’s the only way they can get at her😂

Yes I saw a lot of those toilets in the AO this year. Hardly anybody uses them. I think TennisAustralia wants to please Billie Jean King than have more common sense and be proud of an Australian sporting great. Shame on them.

Valid point

Gender neutral toilets? When is someone in government, going to put an end to this insanity.

She is so full of herself and a hate preacher shes pathetic and should be called out for her hateful hurtful comments. As for her “ sporting feats “ there are other more deserving of praise than her.

no country would overlook her. I think that is called bullying.

Margaret Court is a reported to be homophobic and radically anti LGBTQI. Tennis Australia is right to be proud of accepting people from who identify as gender neutral over a person who engages in hatespeech.

bueller_tom Yes it appears the tennis Australia is now run by HETROphobes.

How hard would it be to focus on someone's hatred for a lot of people for no good reason as the thing this is all about, rather than fucking around making dopey points up to distract?

Obviously she has never heard of Dawn Fraser or Heather Mc Kay to name but 2 others

bueller_tom Tell me how much you love this self hating idiot MichaelTiyce?

And?

Yes, but Rita Panahi is a drooling Murdoch presstitute, so who cares what she says.

Not only TA but all homes are proud to house gender neutral toilets.

Rita has offended many Australian female athletes that stack up heaps better than tennis playing Margaret Court. Several generations of top-notch ones. Rita has limited knowledge by the statement she made.

LyleShelton Cathy Freeman’s sporting achievements far outweigh Margaret Courts. Cathy works hard for her community and is humble. Margaret Court is just a rabid bible bashed.

Kinda shows that you do need a long neck to be a goose aye, just sayin

Yes.

victim

Can we hear from TA about their view on child brides?

LyleShelton Possibly because the toilets are more useful than she is..

LyleShelton THEY PUT DUNNIES FIRST!

LyleShelton Tennis Australia should be all about tennis and that means Margaret Court but what do they put before tennis - you just wouldn't believe it - DUNNIES.

LyleShelton Don't worry Rita you would be able to use them

Emirates sponsor Australian Open but that's ok

It's a shame we have to talk about either.

LyleShelton Imagine treating people like the equal human beings that they are? Isn't that what Jesus would do?

Yes. We would certainly be in strife if we didn’t have gender neutral water closets.

That's why I no longer follow he Australian Open or anything that supports TA.

LyleShelton Who cares what vacuous Panahi has to say about anything?

Margeret who? I've asked 10 people today all over 40) Can't be Australias greatest if hardly anyone knows who she is.

Pathetic organisation - RIP tennis

Dog Whistle. Typical.

And rightly so.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pity MC's growing fame as a homophobic bigot looks like it is going to eclipse her fame as a tennis player

Well it’s pretty much where their perverted sensibilities belong - in a toilet block. Weird people🤔

For your daily dose of Murdoch’s culture wars tune into Sky.

Leftist agenda...again !!

Inner city wankers.

margmopp Days lots about Tennis Australia dosen”t it !

As they should be

Human rights generally rank higher than 'games'

Put her in charge and the trains will run on time.

They are Toilet people after all

Sky News host and professional culture warrior Rita Panahi says....

Blah blah

it is absolutely pathetic the way Margaret Court has been treated by TennisAustralia. They should be ashamed of themselves.

ABC Journo who 'criticised' and 'fled' Australia is 'not above' taking taxpayer's money | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says although former ABC broadcaster Yassmin Abdel-Magied has “criticized Australia and fled the country,” she is not “above taking money” from Australian taxpayers.\n\nMr Kenny said he “would never condone” the way Ms Abdel-Magied was treated online for her “provocative” views on Anzac day and Australia’s border protection policies which ultimately led her to leave the country.\n\nMs Abdel-Magied is “not above taking money from Australia,” Mr Kenny said as she has recently accepted a $20,000 arts grant from the commonwealth to “help her out” with her writing during a six-month residency in Paris.\n\nTaking to twitter, Ms Abdel-Magied thanked 'Allah' and many people on twitter, but Mr Kenny said perhaps she should have thanked “the good taxpayers of Australia” who are “stumping up again” to assist her career.\n\n“There are lot of citizens of this country who are often highly critical of so much about our past, our institutions or our policies, but it never seems to prevent them accepting our largesse,” he said.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Still banging on about Yasmin 😳 Jesus Kenny is a jerk.
