Venus Williams is one of the best tennis players ever to grace the sport. She and her sister, Serena, have won more combined titles than any pair of sisters in sports history.<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

So when Venus took a stand and refused to play a game against Joe \u201cJosepheena\u201d LaBarron of France, she made a huge statement\u201cI\u2019m not trying to be the next Billie Jean King,\u201d she said, \u201cI\u2019ll play any man for charity or for fun, but this is my livelihood.\u201d Venus says she\u2019s never lost a competition to a man because she\u2019s never played one before, and doesn\u2019t intend to start now. Venus held her fist up and received a standing ovation on the way out.Newhole pointed out that the so-called \u201cman\u201d is actually Amelie Muresmo, a biological female with some masculine features who retired in 2009. There\u2019s no way to know if her testosterone levels are abnormal, however, so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
