‘What Woman Would Wear a Baseball Hat Backwards?’ – Martina Navratilova Minces No Words to Slam Hater Who Took a Nasty Dig Over Her Appearance

Martina Navratilova is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. At 66 years of age, her legacy runs beyond the courts of tennis. While her playing days are well past her, she makes her presence felt on social media. The Czech-American tennis legend is incredibly active on Twitter, amassing over 200,000 tweets. Well, alongside her activity, she also often engages in fiery debates with fans.

Recently, the 18-time major champion was furious at an insensitive comment made by a fan. She decided to quote-tweet the fan before eventually blocking him as the comment seemed to be borderline nasty.

Martina Navratilova fires back at a fan

A Twitter user accused Navratilova of looking like a man. He mocked her appearance, outfit, and the cap (put backward) in particular. The Czech-American legend was furious at the accusation. She quoted him and said, “So this the photo this a**hole chose to make a point that I just might be a man? Says she was or still is a woman. Somehow I don’t believe it. But yeah, what woman would wear a baseball hat backwards? This one:)”

Navratilova goes on to ask a rhetorical question regarding which woman wears caps backward and answered herself. She used a smiling emoticon to sarcastically show how offended she was by the accusation. This wasn’t her first feud on Twitter, and definitely not her last. In fact, Navratilova would not even spare renowned journalists.

Being a woman doesn’t mean being feminine… it can be that but absolutely doesn’t mean it needs to be that. Male gaze… I mean whaaaat?!?”, tweeted the Czech American legend.  Navratilova has always stood up against gender inequality and she was not going to let this one slide easily.
