Just Another Opinion...

Women playing tennis on public tennis courts--right or wrong?

I recently ran across the following article and was saving it for just the right day--and maybe that day has arrived after reading some of the recent comments on the blog.

REASONS WHY WOMEN SHOULD NOT PLAY TENNIS ON PUBLIC COURTS

For many years now I have been trying to muster the courage to write this article, and the time has finally arrived… You may or may not agree and it really doesn’t matter at all, but at least I have shared my wise and objective opinion on this universe-threatening issue.

Here are the reasons why women should not be allowed to play tennis on public courts:

1. They cheat. All you have to do is listen to a bunch of women after their match is over and they are convinced they have just played (and probably lost to) the biggest cheat in the northern hemisphere.

2. They clog up the lobby in the clubhouse. Seems that women all want/need to go to the bathroom at the same time and a man has no chance of navigating through the lobby when the call has been issued.

3. They have kids. Woe unto any club that let’s mothers bring their fair-haired children to the match with them. You are then stuck with babysitting for the four hours it takes their mother to finish her match.

4. They smell. Perfume is a wonderful and necessary thing for women but it sucks when its blended with aspercreme, ben gay, icy-hot, and all the other stuff they use for their imagined injuries.

5. They can’t volley. I have never yet met a woman who could actually volley so in essence they are wasting part of the court that could be put to much better us

6. They gossip. If you doubt this one, just hang around and listen when they are done or when they take a water break during the match.

7. They don’t own a stopwatch. If they did, they wouldn’t take 5 minutes on changeovers and 2 minutes between points.

8. They’re cheap. They always complain about the rates the club charges no matter what it is and they never buy their stuff at the clubhouse. They haven’t figured out that if they want a good pro, then they need to support him.

9. They sweat too much. Women seem to sweat way too much these days and there’s nothing more unenticing than a sweaty woman.

10. Their clothes selection sucks. Why do women wear outfits to play tennis in that they wouldn’t ever been seen in on a regular day?

11. Their hair-dos are pathetic. Most of them look like they just got out of bed in time to run to the courts.

12. If they even have make-up on, it runs. The vast majority look like they don’t wear a shred of makeup and the ones who do need to buy the kind that doesn’t run when they sweat.

13. They’re mean. Have you ever listened to them arguing with each other when they hate a call or lose count of the score?

14. Most of them are too fat. There are a few hotties out there but most are poster children for Weight Watchers and rightfully so.

15. Their clothes are too tight. Tight fitting clothes on a walrus isn’t becoming so please don’t inflict that upon us men.

16. They swear. A guy swearing is normal but a woman screaming the F word is disgusting and unbecoming.

17. They hate men. Just look at how they react when their time is up and they don’t want to get off the court for the men who have it booked after them.

18. They can’t tell time. How many women actually show up on time for their matc

19. They run up the plumbing bills at the facility. Ask the manager how many times he has to call the plumber after the ladies have been there.
