‘Reading Is Fundamental’ – Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Shut Down a Fan Who Mocked Angel City FC

Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is a vocal proponent of gender parity. He has set an example by investing in companies with a focus on promoting gender equality.

Yesterday, Alexis Ohanian took to Twitter and posted a video related to the NWSL crowd. He wrote “nO oNe WAnTS to wATCh wOmeN’s spoRTs. (32,000+ for a regular season @NWSL match).”

In response to this particular tweet, a fan came up with a counter-argument by saying, “It’s not womens sports. It’s WNBA. And this is another reason why men laugh. Because you showed a half-empty crowd to make your point. Men’s league would be sold out. You showed half the stadium empty.”

Ohanian, in return, came up with a cheeky reply. He said, “Poor dude can’t even read (emoji)  that is max capacity. Reading is fundamental my guy.”

Women’s sports are underfunded and underappreciated in comparison to their male counterparts. But tennis is a game that has come a long way in bringing people together from different backgrounds. He further went on to say that tennis is a wonderful equalizer because the prize money at major tournaments is split evenly between the sexes. Moreover, he advocated for equal coverage of women’s and men’s tennis matches in both the media and on the court.
