Nerd Alert: Tennis Players Are Complaining About The Smell Of Marijuana Completely Taking Over The Courts At the US Open
Sarah Stier. Getty Images.AP -- It’s become a stink at the U.S. Open: a pungent marijuana smell that wafted over an outer court, clouded the concentration of one of the world’s top players and left the impression there’s no place left to escape the unofficial scent of the city.
While the exact source of the smell remained a mystery Tuesday, one thing was clear: Court 17, where eighth-seeded Maria Sakkari complained about an overwhelming whiff of pot during her first-round loss, has become notorious among players in recent years for its distinctive, unmistakable odor.
…Other players in past years have complained about the pot smells emanating from Court 17, a 2,500-seat arena that opened in 2011 in the extreme southwest corner of the complex with little buffer to the park.
This is just some classic elitism coming from the tennis community if I've ever heard any. There's a single group in sports that feel more entitled than tennis players. They're constantly complaining about everything. Whether it's their courts being overtaken by pickleball players, or an overwhelming stench of legal cannabis, tennis players feel the need to complain about anything.

The real issue here, if we're being perfectly honest, is that they're most likely equating the stench of marijuana to poor people. Or at the very least, people who are unemployed. And these spoiled, entitled fuckers can't stand the fact that they're playing tennis so close to those poors. Makes them sick to their stomach that they'd even be allowed to be in the same vicinity as them. Does your family summer in the Hamptons? No? Then take your devil's lettuce loving hippie ass the hell away from here before papa needs to take legal action. Go back to your shanties, or pick up a Xanax prescription like a normal person.
Fuckin' tennis players, man.
