Tennis icon and former world No 1 Martina Navratilova has been a consistent voice on social media. She has raised essential issues, countered unfavorable opinions, and promoted gender equality on various platforms. This time, the tennis legend condemned former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate after he tried to show off his massive collection of high-end cars with very high pollution emission levels.
In his tweet, Tate tagged the Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg and boasted about his ‘33 cars’ with ‘enormous emission in a blatant show of disregard for the environment. This did not go well with Navratilova. Both Greta and Navratilova were quick to rebuke the controversial media personality in their own styles.
“Hello @GretaThunberg I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions,” the tweet of Tate read.
Navratilova commented on the tweet with derision. “Once a prick…etc”, she wrote. “Hello loser!”, she also wrote in another comment. Navratilova did not stop there. When Thunberg replied savagely to the original tweet, Navratilova again wrote, “shade” with an emoji.

The tweet of Andrew Tate was intended to mock the teenage environmentalist Greta Thunberg. Martina Navratilova with her comment shut him down first. Later the social media users joined hands to support Thunberg and Navratilova.

Navratilova has been very active on social media. Just a few days back, Navratilova lambasted a journalist for his comments against women.
