After his latest outspoken take on the Simona Halep doping controversy, Serena Williams‘ husband and internet entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian has returned with another attempt at revolutionizing sports debate by correcting a publication’s expression of Michael Jordan’s NBA debut 38 years ago as something that was much beyond “sports history.”
In Ohanian’s words, the event with African-American Jordan later taking over the sport of basketball by storm was the start of “cultural history.”
Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit along with Steve Huffman and Aaron Swartz first met Serena 2015 while staying at the same hotel in Rome.
Serena Williams is now an internet investor herself and recently teased fans with a possible comeback from retirement
Having turned investor after retiring from the sport of tennis, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena recently made an appearance at the TechCrunch Disrupt event in San Francisco, where she spoke on various topics including her future plans and some interesting tidbits from her life that are sure to make headlines.
One such interesting banter happened when during an interview the host asked Serena if she had seen a recent Twitter poll where more than 84 amateur tennis players voted to claim they could beat the American in a match. To this Serena, replied she could take them all down one-after-the-other at her own home.
During the interview, Serena once again raised hopes of a comeback from retirement too, when she insisted that she isn’t retired yet, having always maintained that she was probably “stepping away” from tennis. However, many have conjectured that the not retired quip seems to point towards her new business ventures. “I’m not retired yet,” she said.
Do you think Serena should come back from retirement? Or should the 41-year-old stick to looking after her business ventures and family? Express your views in the comments section below, we would love to hear from all of you sports and tennis fans.
