In case you guys are not sure what this is about, talented young Canadian tennis star, Eugenie Bouchard, was asked by on-court interviewer Ian Cohen if she could give the crowd a ‘twirl’ in her fluorescent Nike dress, to which she kingly obliged before admitting that “an old guy asking you to twirl is a little funny”.
He also asked Serena Williams to do the same...
Cohen has since gotten a lot of flack about (with some call this sexist) but honestly, this sounds more like what some Malaysian authorities would have complained about rather than negative feedback from fellow female athletes around the world.
I really don't see what is wrong with asking anyone to do a little twirl, especially if she is wearing a cute pink-flared-skirt.
I mean, how many women do the "wolf-whistle" when Verdasco or Nadal take off their shirt during a change-over? Is that sexist too?
Come on. Venus Williams wearing skin-coloured safety shorts is rude. Asking a cute girl to do a twirl in a cute skirt is not. Especially if it's Eugenie Bouchard.
What you guys and gals think?
