Other NFL fans were also not very happy with the arrangement as it caused a slippery field that lead to injury scares for many players.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian won’t push their daughter into sports

Serena Williams is probably the greatest tennis player in the modern era. Her husband Alexis Ohanian also has a huge interest in sports, especially women’s sports. While they both vouch for more female athletes to take up sports, the two admitted that there are a few factors they will consider before Olympia takes up sports.

One of them was the unequal pay for female athletes. The 23-time Grand Slam champion was very clear that her daughter will take up sports, particularly soccer, only if they pay her what she’s worth. Olympia has shown an early interest in soccer. However, it is too early to judge if the little one is going to make a career in sports.
