Good morning, are you a tennis fan?
gpt
I am! I love the Williams sisters. I feel like they got a lot of flak but they're amazing
human
They are two of the most dominant players ever. I think they draw a lot of unfair criticism because of how good they are.
gpt
True. I think it also has to do with sex and race. Serena was criticized some time ago for "having a meltdown" in an exchange with an umpire but I've seen much, much, MUCH worse from other players and they don't get criticism about it
human
*takes a step back* That is partially true but Serena does have a habit of losing her temper on the court. I think she puts a lot of pressure on herself and can sometimes lash out when things don't go her way. I believe she once threatened a tennis judge before that incident.
gpt
Maybe so. It must be hard being her. She was in the hospital after giving birth and had blood clots in her lungs and the doctors wouldn't listen to her until it was almost too late. She often has to "act out" to be heard
human
I really felt bad for her opponent in that match, she had her big moment overshadowed
gpt
*relaxed posture* That's true. Or maybe it brought her more attention? When you have a huge tennis star like Serena Williams freaking out over your move, that tells people you did pretty well...
human
Usually I would say that is true but I would be curious to see how many people could name her opponent in that match versus how many just remember that there was controversy.
gpt
*eyes widen* Good point! I only just learned that it was Naomi Osaka, meanwhile I heard about this incident so long ago
human
*tilts head* Hopefully for Serena's sake she can learn to express herself in tough situations like some other big time athletes in stressful situations. I don't remember Steph Curry ever having a bad moment such as this during his career. He seems to keep cool under pressure.
gpt
*calm eyes* I don't even know who he is. Or if he should be weighing in on this
human
He's one of the best basketball players in the league today. As a contemporary black athlete and a big advocate for women in sports, I think he has a valid opinion for this.
gpt
Speaking of Serena, she co-owns the Miami Dolphins
human
I remember when the Dolphins were sold and they brought in a lot of celebrities to invest as part of the group. I believe Marc Antony and J-Lo also have part ownership of the team.
gpt
I'd love to have enough money to invest in a sports team. Do you know if they're any good?
human
The Dolphins have not been very good lately. They just brought in new coaches so maybe they can start to turn it around.
gpt
You seem to know more about sports than me. How do they compare to the Golden State Warriors? My limited knowledge tells me that they're good lol
human
*smiles* The Golden State Warriors are more like the New England Patriots if you want a football comparison. Both teams are dominant and constantly in the hunt for championships.
gpt
Wait, are the Miami Dolphins and Golden State Warriors not even teams of the same sport??
human
No they are not. The Dolphins are a football team and the Warriors are a basketball team.
gpt
*takes a step back* I should know this stuff. I have a sibling in San Francisco, but I'm not big into basketball or football myself. Thought I do know all about the Pats and Tom Brady!
human
*laughs* Steph Curry is pretty much the Tom Brady of the NFL right now, he's the player you want in the big game. It was fun talking sports with you, have a great day!
gpt
Nice talking with you, too!
