John Mcenroe did or said nothing wrong whatsoever.  I get sick to death of people creating offense where there is none and bringing up the woman issue of women  not being given respect. Give me a break. Women's tennis is no where near as exciting as the men's. The men have five set epic battles. The women have namby pamby 2 or 3 sets and grunt every time they hit the ball and act like they're doing us a great favor to do three sets.  Serena Williams said that she should just be called the greatest of all time. I call that unbridled egotism. She is the one who should be apologizing, saying in essence that she should be regarded a better player than all the great male tennis players that came before her. Incredible self-importance if you ask me, instead of honoring tennis  greats that came before her.   Having the most grand slam titles of male and female players is an accomplishment that speaks for itself. It doesnt mean she's greater than every player who has ever lived.
