That gave me the confidence - Alexis Ohanian on how Serena Williams inspired him to like women s sports

Serena Williams with her family at the 2022 US Open During a recent podcast interview, Ohanian said that he had no interest in sports growing up, but it was his wife Serena Williams who inspired him to appreciate women's sports. "The thing that sparked it. I have front-row seat, obviously to everything Serena has done and continues to do. And actually, that gave me the confidence," Ohanian said. He continued by discussing the contributions made by renowned tennis players like the Williams sisters and Billie Jean King to the world of sports. As per him, tennis is the only sport in which female and male players are still treated equally. "I looked out, and I saw okay look at the US Open. Thanks to Billie Jean King, Williams sisters, and everything else, tennis is actually the closest to a level playing field. Where the tournaments provide equal pay. Where the news coverage covers both sides equal time," Ohanian acknowledged. In his additional remarks during the interview, Ohanian talked about how he hoped to one day watch his daughter Olympia grow up to be a sportswoman. He claims that Serena Williams also wants the same thing for their daughter, but only if Olympia receives "what she's worth." "I remarked to my wife that wouldn't it be great one day if Olympia played on the women's national team and without missing a beat, Serena is like not unless they pay her what she's worth," Ohanian said.Non-Technical Podcast@NonTechnicalPodon #USOpen finals weekend, we're thinking about @alexisohanian's hot take about women's sports!
