Should there be an age and weight limit to sports?

Question

Serena Williams is clearly one of the best athletes... recently Ion Tiriac , the director of the Madrid Open has insulted her age and weight. He stated that if she had any decency she would retire bc she is almost 40 and now heavier than she was before. Keep in mind that she just won title last year at the ASB Open In Auckland and ranks number 11 in the world. I personally think that as long as you continue to be great that you should be allowed to keep playing and if anything old azz Tiriac needs to hushed with his misogynistic disgusting comments.

Tennis and golf are those snobbish sports that has outdated benefits. Maybe that guy should play a couple of rounds to see how far he would get.

As long as you can play well and keep up, then it's nobody's business what you weigh or how old you are.

I do follow soccer ! I love soccer actually.. LOL wearing my Manchester hoodie right now while relaxing... I still don't think that's ok for anyone to call them fat and old. Soccer is one of the most intense sports.. most people can't run up and down that field for 90min.. so to insult them is an asshole thing to do... GO MANCHESTER !!

I'm not saying it's right. Professional athletes tend to get a lot of stick because they are easy targets. Luke Shaw and Lukaku are good examples because they were constantly called fat/over weight , but that was never seen as sexist.

I think whether or not its sexist depends on who it's coming from.. with ion t. Im sure he said this bc women in tennis are expected to be these tiny lean athletes.. which they usually all are. When is the last time u saw someone as thick as the Williams sisters play tennis? Lol.. yes, you're right , athletes are easy targets but as long as they can perform then people should keep their comments to themselves.. and ah LUKE SHAW IS FUCKING HOTT!!
