A sexist could not resist adding the "knee pads".
Unbelievable: The CEO of Indian Wells, could not resist adding the "knee pads" to his sexist drivel.

Whatever he "meant", it really came out wrong.

The CEO's remarks are inexcusable but he never mentioned knee pads. The "on their knees" reference was that the WTA should thank God every night for the men's players.

The CEO showed what an ass he is but, IMO, it had nothing to do with a sexual act.

He quit as CEO and tournament director two days ago.

The image was a sexual and sexist put-down in context even though he worked 'to God' into it.

Face it gentlemen we all know that women are second class citizens here. That is not about to change any time soon either. Even their own gender puts them down to it the Little Sisters of the Poor want to keep them pregnant and barefoot.

I get the impression over at AK and elsewhere that the notion that women are rated for f#&kability as fashion accessories first and last is not uncommon.
