If you are an Ohanian fan, you definitely know about how he saves up tweets and messages for haters just to find the perfect opportunity to give it back to them when the time arises. Recently, he displayed an example when he replied to a hater who commented in 2019 while making a statement regarding how the Sporting Arena is getting stronger.

He wrote, “Time to bring out one of my HaterReplies™ from Q1 2019. Meanwhile, the world is catching up. Facts > Feelings.” Moreover, to give a little support to his argument regarding how women’s sport has taken a rise, he also shared a statement shared by the new President of Reebok Basketball, Shaquille O’Neal, who signed Angel Reese. His statement reads, “There is no one making a bigger impact on the game right now than Angel Reese.”

Ohanian found the perfect opportunity to hit back at a hater with a perfect example, who made a statement regarding how the women’s sports of this generation are standing at the level of men’s sports in 1965. Nevertheless, this is not the first time he has pulled revenge on haters. The 40-year-old entrepreneur poked fun at a critic earlier this year while giving back after four years to make a powerful point regarding his $100,000,000 business decision.

When Ohanian lashed out at a lost hater 

Since 2019, the Reddit co-founder has vouched for the growth of women’s soccer. For the same, he has also faced a lot of backlash. Apparently now, as the growth can be visibly seen, he has started clapping back at naysayers one by one. Earlier this year, with the increasing valuation of their TV rights, the NWSL displayed how they have come a long way.
