Margaret Court mad at Qantas for supporting same-sex marriage – TA statement

Margaret Court says she'll boycott Qantas (largest Australian airline company) because they support same-sex marriage.


Statement from Tennis Australia. It seems utterly tone-deaf to start mentioning her playing records here!?








The Guardian: Margaret Court vows to stop flying Qantas over marriage equality stance.

BTW, Alan Joyce, the CEO of Qantas, is gay himself (and recently got shoved a lemon meringue pie in his face because of that).

Re: Margaret Court boycotts Qantas for supporting same-sex marriage – TA statement

(Why does she even need Qantas, can't she just use her broom!?).
Or she could use the umbrella that she got as a prize for winning one of her AO titles. Sort of an evil Mary Poppins :devil:

The Guy who attacked Alan Joyce has also been blacklisted from QANTAS and all affiliated airlines. :yeah:

Considering QANTAS CEO Alan Joyce is a gay gentlemen, I am disappointed in Margaret, sure we know her position but this kind of comment deserves condemnation, the fearless body known as Tennis Australia really should be reviewing the name of the number 1 show court.

Why, because she has an opinion? Are we supposed to downsize titles and glory because anyone has had some kind of outbursts on or off court?

If she was expressing pro-gay marriage opinions and Tennis Australia wanted to rename the court, TF would be furious, right? That's why the other way should also apply. What she says is quite narrow and her boycott looks stupid, but it's her right to do it. That's the beatiful thing of living in a democratic society.

Which airline will she fly with now? Jetstar or is that beneath her ego :angel:
Jetstar are owned by the Qantas Group, so she better strike them off her list too.

ITF should punish her somehow just like they did with Nastasse, she has lost her mind.

Just...why do people post threads on this woman's opinions? Especially in GM.

Hopefully all tennis associations will stop inviting her to any events.
She should be there to see Serena take the overall record number of slams.

Virgin Airlines also support Gay Marriage so where does that leave Margaret?

Train if domestically and maybe a P&O Cruise if going International?

Does not leave her many options with both major airlines that operate within Australia supporting something she detests so strongly.

Isn't there a blast from the past section for retired players?

So I take it she doesn't buy Ben and Jerry's Ice cream either.

Re: Margaret Court mad at Qantas for supporting same-sex marriage – TA statement

Disgusting. Most old people are bigoted but at least they respect change and keep quiet.
She has a platform and she's using it to insult people :help: Not to mention as a female pastor,
she's defying Christianity anyway, but whatever.

Really hope Serena will come back strong and put the 'she must beat Court to be GOAT!1!1!' crap to rest. Not that half of Court's joke AO titles even count, but to see a strong, intelligent, black woman with a gay hitting partner (well, ex-partner) crushing her record would be immensely satisfying. Serena is a far better role model and person, it's not even close.

Can MC arena be renamed? That's all I ask.

Maybe she'll take the extremely reputable Tiger airways and accidentally be ejected mid-flight what a shame that would be :)
As well as having had a long term gay hitting partner, Serena has several gay friends who feature prominently on her social media. Most of them are not famous so I won't post their names/profile here, but a well known close friend of hers is actor Colton Haynes. This is a pic of Colton, Colton's fiance Jeff, Serena and her fiance Alexis. Well, their hands. I can only imagine what that ghastly woman would think of this pic!

Poor Qantas, so much revenue lost for this... :tears: :rolls:

This woman has the right to be a bigot but please, as a public figure and most importantly as a sports public figure, she should keep her crap at home. Please everybody, religion is only personal, keep it at home and don't bother us.
