Anyone For Tennis?

Before before we get into today's regularly scheduled post, a few words about yesterday's post about the attack on Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, D.C..

As I wrote in that post, "I'm worried about what will come after. I am already anticipating that Donald Trump's snivelling syncophants as well as the man himself will use this incident to fuel more anger and division."

Sadly and predictably, I have been proven right.

Long time Trump toady Rep. Jim Jordan said that it shouldn’t be “lost on anyone” that what he described as a third assassination attempt on the president happened the same week the Southern Poverty Law Center was hit with dubious fraud charges.  😟

Donald Trump seems to be criticizing the family of shooting suspect Cole Tomas Allen.... I think, if you can parse this sentence: "That family knew that he had difficulty, and his family seemed to be, I think, they spent a lot of time with his family, his family said he had big difficulty.  Maybe they should have reported him a little bit more strongly, probably, but it's a hard thing to do, I guess."  😕

Trump tried to pin an alleged anti-Christian bias to Allen's manifesto of grievances against the Trump administration. "When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians, that's one thing for sure.  It was a religious thing, it was strongly anti-Christian."  😲

OK, let's get on with today's regularly scheduled post about some Trump fuckery against women.

This should be ever so much fun.

Hooray for the players of the Georgia Bulldogs women's tennis team who won the NCAA Division 1 title in 2025! 

Cheers for the women who made this accomplishment possible:

• Anastasiia Lopata
• Mai Nirundorn
• Aysegul Mert
• Sarah Branicki
• Alexandra Vecic
• Tatum Buffington
• Guillermina Grant
• Haley Gaudette
• Sofia Rojas
• Mell Reasco
• Hayden Mulberry

You amazing women deserve accolades for your remarkable achievement with a visit to the White House! 

C'mon out here, ladies and let's take a look at you!

Where is the Georgia Bulldogs women's tennis team?

Hold on, I think I can see them! 

Yep, there they are, in the background behind some dudes in suits.

Well, who are THOSE guys? 

Well, the one in the middle of the shot is Donald Trumop and the rest of those guys are coaches and support staff for the the Georgia Bulldogs women's tennis team.

Give it up y'all for...

• Georgia deputy athletic director Ford Williams
• Athletic director Josh Brooks
• Head coach Drake Bernstein
• Associate head coach Jarryd Chaplin
• Assistant coach Will Reynolds

Because these MEN are the REAL heroes for winning the NCAA Division 1 title for WOMEN's tennis?

To quote Donald Trump, "No more Mister Nice Guy!"

What the FUCK is going on here? 

What kind of mysogonistic sexist BULLSHIT is this?

Has anyone ever seen a sport team photo that put coaches and support staff front and center in front of the actual team?

Can Li'l Donnie not rein in his ego mania for one single photo op in deference to his guests in the White House?

What is with this raging disrespect for this team? 

Which by the way goes beyond just the photo.

When Trump entered the room, he personally greeted and shook the hands of each of the men but only waved from a distance to the actual athletes who won the goddam title. 

Donald Trump's disdain for women made manifest in one event.

There's a reason most women's sport teams have declined invitations to the White House under Donald Trump.  

Trump's antagonism towards women is broadly evident.

In talking to the press, der Führer is frequently hostile to female journalists, insulting their intelligence, their appearance, telling them to shut up.  

And going back to sports for a moment, consider this sequence of events at this year's Winter Olympics in Milano Coertina.

The US women’s hockey team wins Gold and there's silence from Trump's White House.

The US men’s hockey team wins Gold and  der Führer himself is on the phone to congratulate them on their victory and invited them to the White House.  

And while on the call, Trump complained that he would need to invite the women's team too or he'll get in trouble.   

Trump begrudgingly extended an invite to the women's team to visit the White House and they declined the invitation. 

The US women’s hockey team cited scheduling conflicts for declining the invite which is a nice way of saying "we've got better places to be".  

They deserved better than to be in the disrespectful company of the chairman of the "he-man woman haters club".  

A disrespect experience firsthand by the players of the Georgia Bulldogs women's tennis team.
