Anna is pretty, talented and smart to use her physical talents and gifts like so many others have without prostatuting herself and getting involved with the underbelly of society. Many less-than-great sports athletics have used their sex appeal to gain. Billy Jean wasn't one of them but she would have used her sex appeal to gain if she had had some and she wouldn't have jumped on anyone or any woman who noticed she had a figure and some talent. Our pc society moves to damn white men who make un-pc comments but it excuses men and women of every other color and creed who say far worse things. If it is a "he" and "white", the media and many women's organizations go after the white guy with a vengeance; they want his job, his blood his head and his manhood. But the likes of Jesse Jackson can say and do whatever and the anti-white man media protects and fawns over him. Ask why it is that white men are the only people portrayed as absolute dummies, slobs and jerks in American television commercials... What the commentator said, I disagree with but he has a right in America to say ot without losing all he has--just like Jesse Jackson. And Anna has the right to make her living as she decides not as the media decides is appropriate.

"What? Kournikova could play? She never won a singles title on the WTA tour. She did win 16 doubles titles, including two Australian Opens, but that was doubles. She was once ranked as high as No. 8 in the world." To be № 8 in your proffession is great achievment, and i doubt that the article author could be in Top 100 of journalists and therefore he can't write
