Martina Navratilova is a champion of women’s sports. The Czech-American player has been key in making sure women’s tennis reaches the heights it has today. However, her arguments don’t always pan out, as her ideals are seen as less than optimal. Recently, she talked about an issue in Cycling in the USA, which stirred up controversy as fans provided their point of view.

Navratilova is no stranger to controversy when it comes to discussing the topic of inclusion in sports. Her comments on several topics in women’s tennis have put her in the center of the controversial limelight.

Martina Navratilova stirs up controversy with Cycling comment

Piers Morgan is a journalist who talks about various topics in our current society. Recently, he saw a problem in cycling where one competition included one woman and two men on the winner’s podium. The issue became that there were two competitions solely for the male participants while there were none for women.

Morgan talked about it being outrageous, and Navratilova replied to his comments about the situation and blamed those who made the rules. She said that male bodies take advantage of the rules, but her fans thought of different solutions. 

One fan said that the cyclist who came in third was smiling on the podium. Instead, they said she should have refused to participate.

One user said to Navratilova that seemingly not enough women were standing up against the injustice. For them, her comment implied that women were powerless against the rules set by men, and that did not hold. If enough women were to raise their voices, the rules written by men would change.

Another user said that the rules would not change unless women stopped competing in the sport. If there was no opposition, there would be no competition.

Another user suggested that female cyclists should boycott these events.

Yet another user said that they should refuse to compete, which would end the issues.

Navratilova has been chastised by fans for her opinions on the internet. While they enjoy reading her opinions on various topics, she is sometimes lambasted for them.

Navratilova upsets fans of Iga Swiatek

Before the US Open was in full swing, Iga Swiatek was still hopeful to win, given that she was at rank 1. However, before the tournament, she had not had a great run in any tournament and said that she was not feeling well enough to go far in the American slam. Navratilova did not dilly-dally with her comments and said that she should either suck it up or just skip the entire tournament.

Fans found her comment distasteful and said that they were aware she did not like Swiatek, but she should not be unpleasant to him. One fan even went as far as to call her obnoxious, and some said that Swiatek has all the right to talk about fatigue. Navratilova has found herself against her fans often. She found herself on their bad end now and will find herself in the same situation once again in the future.
