18-time Grand Slam champion Martina Navratilova has been one of the most vocal athletes on social media. In recent times, we have seen her engaging heavily on social media, particularly Twitter.

Back in 2013, she had another exchange with a fan, which later turned into serious banter. Notably, Navratilova posted a tweet regarding Beyonce and one of her songs. Later, a fan called out the popstar, saying she was not a role model for young girls. Then, Navratilova also got herself engaged in this conversation.

Replying to Navratilova’s tweet, a Twitter user wrote, “Limbaugh is stupid and Beyonce is certainly NOT someone who should be a role model for young girls. No substance there.”

Then, the former tennis player asked that person to explain why Beyonce was not a role model. In reply, the Twitter user talked about the singer dancing half naked on the stage, which according to that person was not a good example for young kids. In reply, Navratilova wrote, “for you to say Beyonce is not a good role model shows a lot where you are. I think you are completely wrong.”

The Twitter user, then further said, “portraying women as s** objects is demeaning to women.”

In which, Navratilova replied, “being se*y does not mean you are portraying women as s** objects.”

Then, the Twitter user mentioned Beyonce’s Superbowl performance in 2013. Moreover, the person called her outfit ‘Slu**y’. Then, Navratilova calmly said, “B is not slu**y and you need to stop calling people names on this site, thanks.”

Later, that person also talked about Beyonce receiving backlash after the Superbowl performance. In which, Navratilova replied, “I didn’t see any backlash, I thought she was great and you said her slu**y behavior so…”

Speaking about not being a role model, Navratilova then talked about Beyonce’s charity works. Despite that, the Twitter user did not change her opinion. In the end, Navratilova said, “seems to me you make up your mind without having facts and then keep the opinion when the facts are the other way???”

Clearly, Navratilova had the last laugh in the Twitter banter.
