In hot pursuit of sexism against Coco Gauff, Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian destroyed it with hard hitting facts





Casual sexism is an aspect most women endure in their day-to-day lives. We have seen multiple instances of that over the years and women’s sports are sadly also a victim of the same.


 The sexism also leads to pay parity in women’s and men’s sports. The biggest argument behind this pay gap is the interest or viewership the sport generates. Many argue women’s sports are not as enticing and generate less traffic,


 which translates to less viewership and less revenue for the organizers. However, the US Open changed that outlook and became the first tournament to offer the same prize money in both gender categories. In fact, when Serena Williams‘


 husband Alexis Ohanian put up hard facts, he still had to shut down an internet troll using casual sexism to disprove his point. In a tweet from September 12th, the co-founder of Reddit pointed out how the US Open final between Coco Gauff Vs.


 Aryna Sabalenka had a viewership of 3.422 million. He compared that with the US Open final between Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, which brought in a viewership of 2.321 million.


 After Ohanian tweeted this information, a user attempted to ridicule him. User @bjmorr170 tweeted, “Hey Alexis: I have an idea: why not just combine the two tours? Men and women play each other in the same tournaments. 


May the best player win. How about it? I figured as much.” Ohanian’s reply perfectly sums up that despite being an obvious difference between the two pieces of machinery, both sports are equally enjoyed. That is the whole point,


 co-existence without discrimination. However, this isn’t the first time the American businessman expressed his opinion around F1.
