Martina Navratilova.....lefty tweeter

I was on the espn tennis home page, checking out some stories in advance of the upcoming Australian Open. They run various and sundry tweets from ESPN's tennis columnists, players and other people associated with the sport. Surprisingly, they displayed Martina's tweets, none of which had anything to do with tennis:

It literally took decades for her to get any kind of endorsements despite being the best female tennis player on the planet but she still trailblazed. LGBT athletes owe her, as do all gays.

Oh no! A WOMAN who actually THINKS instead of droning whatever Rush Limbaugh says?

magazine where they had Martina with her *bionic arm. Everyone was so afraid of her muscles back then. I'm afraid of Serena's muscles though.

Martina and her one handed backhand was a thing of beauty back in the day. Never got into the two-handed, give me Mac, Mauresmo.
