Yesterday, I posted an egregious quote from a Wimbledon spokesman, stating that how a woman looked helped define whether or not she was scheduled to play on Centre Court. It's nice to see some backlash from this, as compiled by Sports Business Daily:
"That is an extraordinary thing to do. ... It is absolutely and totally inappropriate. We are talking about Wimbledon, the holiest place there is in tennis. It is absolutely absurd and I cannot believe it is the case. I can absolutely swear that at the Australian Open, it has only ever been done on the quality of the tennis."
- John Alexander, former Australian Federation Cup captain
"Are the 'Page Three' editors now making the decisions for the Wimbledon play committee?"
- ESPN's Michael Wilbon
And I admit I loved this one, too:
"This is outrageous. Since when is Serena not hot?"
- Bob Ryan, Boston Globe columnist
