One More Title

February 19, 2021 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] You might think that being one of the best athletes in the world is easy.

For this professional athlete, though, it has become a problem.

Athlete is a fearsome competitor with plenty of wins and titles under their belt.

But Athlete is aging. In fact, Athlete may be older than any other athlete to ever compete at that level in their sport!

So, will they keep going… or will they retire?

“One more title. Just one more title. Then it will be enough.” Maybe.

It actually sounds like it will not be enough!

We can understand the desire to keep winning, but Athlete is now struggling to get there and is frequently playing while injured.

And while we admire their toughness, just about everyone they started out with in the sport retired years ago.

It’s hard to know if they are really confident about winning again… or if their ego is getting in the way of them gracefully stepping aside for a new generation.

[Optional] Better to go now, go out after one more win, or keep playing as long as they can?

    Could be Roger Federer too! Also known as a goat. If Serena or Brady want to continue playing why not? They play because they love the sport, it’s not hard to understand why they don’t want to quit.

    Serena as everyone said. I love her and she can do no wrong. I’d probably do the same in her situation. When she does step aside from tennis though maybe she can do some service work —- Black women have high mortality rates during pregnancy and her voice could bring awareness to this serious issue.

    Usually my answer is the same as many others, but not this time. I was thinking it’s Floyd Mayweather. Not even close to everyone else’s answer!

    Serena. She needs one more title to become equal the greatest and another to be the record holder. “With a victory in the 2021 Australian Open, Williams would equal Court’s record 24 majors. Court’s 24 Grand Slam titles is the only significant record Williams hasn’t broken in a 26-year career in which she revolutionized women’s tennis with her powerful groundstrokes . Winning her equalizing 24th major in Australia would leave her three more chances this season to surpass Court before turning…

    Tom Brady. I don’t follow tennis but everyone calls Brady the GOAT so between that and the male hand holding the trophy, he’s my guess.

  9. icantquityoularry says

    February 20, 2021 at 11:35 am

    serena, it’s time to step down. though it won’t ever be done gracefully. thinking back to her poor sportsmanship and ruining naomi’s first win, i will always have disdain for her and hope naomi smashes her chances.

    • ratneck says

      February 21, 2021 at 3:24 pm

      Good post! I agree 100.

    • LilOne says

      February 21, 2021 at 6:41 pm

      Completely agree. Wouldn’t consider her a GOAT with that awful sportsmanship. She should’ve congratulated her and acted out in private

  10. Delightful says

    February 20, 2021 at 11:25 am

    This is Serena Williams. I actually do think it has less to do with ego and more to do with genuine competativeness. She should retire and enjoy everything she has accomlished.

  11. Lindylou says

    February 20, 2021 at 10:59 am

    Serena Williams. She’s too old and should just retire gracefully. Though her ego won’t let her.

  12. yoreggie says

    February 20, 2021 at 10:45 am

    Athlete: Serena Williams – She wants to equal and probably obtain more Grand Slam Titles than Margaret Court who currently holds the record most Women’s Grand Slam Singles Titles.

  13. Vampira says

    February 20, 2021 at 10:32 am

    Tom Brady? He already said he’s coming back next season, and I’m sure that’s his ego talking, because he has a BIG one.

    • Dirty Squirrel says

    I think this is Serena Williams. If I were her, I would keep playing for one more win. She only has to win one more tournament and she’ll break/tie Margaret Court’s record. It’s going to be tough though, the youngsters are really good.

    Serena Williams, best to bow out now and spend time with her family. A person’s body can only take so much.

    Tom Brady. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the game. He should leave on a high note.

  31. FromAnotherDimension says

    February 20, 2021 at 1:52 am

    Athlete: sounds like Tom Brady.

    Optional: go out now on a high with everyone idolising him.

  32. laura1083 says

    February 20, 2021 at 1:34 am

    Obviously Serena Williams

    If she feels good and fit enough, then why not keep playing? However, it’s also good to bow out gracefully as well.

  33. VegasMike says

    February 19, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Serena Williams. Turning 40 this year. Tennis is a grueling sport. Matches can run for hours. Plenty of ways she can make money in tennis at this point without actually getting on the court.

  34. aaaPanda says

    February 19, 2021 at 11:35 pm

    The quarterback who married Giselle Bundchen.

    Leave while you are at the top. Best way to cement your legacy. If people have to witness your decline, they will feel awkward and disappointed. That’s all they will remember, never mind all the wins before. Go into management or coaching, that has worked well for a number of aging European football/soccer players. Time to switch is now. Once your reputation is gone few will want you as a coach or manager, and you won’t be able to dictate…

    Better to go now while still on top.

  40. ItsBouquet says

    February 19, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    Serena Williams.

    Titles aren’t everything. She should have retired on a high years ago, while she was on top of her game and while people still liked her.

  41. ILUVCA4evr says

    February 19, 2021 at 8:16 pm

    Athlete: Tom Brady

    [Optional] Better to go now, go out after one more win, or keep playing as long as they can? Go out on top. If you stay too long at the party, you look like an old fool.

  42. Whisper says

    February 19, 2021 at 7:31 pm

    Athlete: ?
    I dont know if there’s an easy answer to that question. I’d hate see an injury become debilitating, on the other hand if you’re playing strong enough to win doing what you love, I’d have hard time stopping too.

  43. raezar says

    Serena Williams, re: The Australian Open tantrum

  44. amagod121 says

    February 19, 2021 at 7:28 pm

    Tom Brady.

    I’d say go out now because those injuries will likely haunt him in his future years. Success is great but health is everything.

  45. mountaingirl82 says

    Serena Williams

  46. felicia says

    February 19, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    For sure Tom Brady. I’m ready to see him retire. There are younger guys who are so much more fun to watch imo

    • IamnotMe says

      February 20, 2021 at 4:54 pm

      Agreed. All that winning makes a person boring. Lol

  47. zappy2050 says

    February 19, 2021 at 6:57 pm

    Serena Williams.

    Difficult one. Could she pull it off? Maybe. Even with the injuries.

    She needs Naomi Osaka (sp) to have a bad day.

    February 19, 2021 at 6:04 pm

    Tom Brady

    I don’t even like Brady but no he should not step gracefullyaside for a new generation. If he’s still got it and the skill to play then play. Shut up or put up, but he’s staying on top. I never thought he would go to the Superbowl with a new team after his Pats dynasty.

  51. aaaKidd says

    February 19, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    Serena. Go out now. It’s already late in the match and it will only get worse. How many more defeats or tearful press conferences does she need to put herself through.

  52. llabine1 says

    February 19, 2021 at 5:43 pm

    Sadly it’s Serena Williams…..

  53. VegetableLasagna says

    Tom Brady
    He probably has one more season before he should retire

  54. Jelly Drop says

    February 19, 2021 at 5:32 pm

    Serena Williams

    The press conference after her loss was rough. Whether she does not return to play in 2022 she is still the female GOAT of tennis.

  55. gailpow says

    February 19, 2021 at 5:21 pm

    Serena Williams. Can she win just one more? Better to go out now with your head held high.

    notice closely how no mention if male or female..I will say serena williams she is 39 and the oldest female in her sport right now

    • NoseyNana2008 says

      February 20, 2021 at 5:46 pm

      Yes, the ambiguity is what made me think it was Serena. That, and the hand holding the trophy.

  59. Deal With It says

    February 19, 2021 at 4:24 pm

    Definitely Tom Brady! But he makes it look so easy. He seems to be in great shape and can probably play for another few years. Go Bucs!

  60. MinnieMe says

    February 19, 2021 at 4:18 pm

    Serena Williams
    Go out now or just play for fun.

    Tie between Serena and Brady.
    The use of they/them /their is too suspicious…

  66. petdragon says

    February 19, 2021 at 3:57 pm

    No idea who it is, but… Why not give it up now and enjoy the bajillions of dollars?

  67. deepsigh says

    February 19, 2021 at 3:56 pm

    Serena Williams. She’s 39 and has has injuries. 23 grand slam titles, a husband,a baby,endorsement deals…

    She should do what she wants,just be prepared for mixed results. She will lose more as the years pass….if she can’t be a good sport to the likes of sweet Naomi Osaka, she should def. hang it up.

    I think retire. She keeps losing to younger competiotors and it is getting to her.

  79. Preacher_Cu5ter says

    February 19, 2021 at 2:24 pm

    Tom Brady. It’s easy to see how he’s become addicted to wanting just one more win. Also, he seems to want to break a record with Tampa Bay as well so, my guess is Brady.

  83. Piwakawaka says

    February 19, 2021 at 2:10 pm

    Serena Williams.

    She’s kinda stuffed things up. She could’ve left a unique legacy and traded off that for ever, but now she’ll just be remembered as a has-been.

    February 19, 2021 at 1:57 pm

    I get it if this is Tom Brady. I couldn’t stand him for years bc I detest Boston sports teams. But he stepped up this year. His wife may not be the funnest lady ever, and no matter what he does he gets sooo much hate. He is probably a very nice dude. He wasn’t a prep or even college superstar.

  89. VenomousBede says

    Serena Williams. She is already the GOAT in her sport – she doesn’t need just one more.

      February 21, 2021 at 12:54 pm

      She’s not the GOAT. Margaret Court has the most titles, therefore she’s the GOAT.
