Martina Navratilova is a champion of women’s sport. The Czech-American player played a key role in ensuring that women’s tennis reached the heights it does today. However, his arguments do not always work, as his ideals are considered less than optimal. Recently, she spoke out about an issue in Cycling in the USA, which sparked controversy as fans gave their views.

Piers Morgan is a journalist who talks about various topics in our current society. Recently, he noticed a problem in cycling where a competition had one woman and two men on the winners’ podium. The problem is that there were two competitions only for male participants while there were none for women.

Morgan called it outrageous and Navratilova responded to his comments on the situation and blamed those who made the rules. She said male bodies take advantage of periods, but her fans thought of different solutions.

One fan said the third-place cyclist was smiling on the podium. Instead, they said she should have refused to participate.

But the woman who finished third smiled as if she was happy, she should have refused to take 3rd place and not get on the podium

One user told Navratilova that it seems there aren’t enough women speaking out against injustice. To them, his comment implied that women were powerless over the rules set by men, and that didn’t hold up. If enough women made their voices heard, the rules written by men would change.

It seems that few women follow the rules. Martina, this comment seems to suggest that women are powerless over the rules set by men. I don’t believe that’s true. If the women’s collective said no, the rules written by men would be for…

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

This won’t change unless women stop competing with these people. No opposition, no competition, simple.

– Audit Hamer&Co (@HamerAndCo) December 4, 2023

Another user suggested that female cyclists boycott these events.

Why not boycott these events? Just refuse to engage in it.

– Atix (@riabehan) December 4, 2023

Another user said they should refuse to compete, which would end the problems.

They simply refuse to compete with Martina. They do this and it all ends

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

Navratilova upsets Iga Swiatek fans

Before US Open was in full turmoil, Iga Swiatek was still hopeful of winning, given that she was in first place. However, before the tournament, she had not had a good run in any tournament and said she did not feel well enough to go far in the US Slam. Navratilova didn’t drag out her comments and said she should either let it go or just skip the entire tournament.

Fans found her comment distasteful and said they knew she didn’t like Swiatek, but she shouldn’t be rude to him. One fan even went so far as to call her obnoxious, and some said Swiatek had every right to talk about fatigue. Navratilova often found herself pitted against her fans. She found herself in a bad situation now and will find herself in the same situation again in the future.
