"Truth doesn't work" says Martina Navratilova, rules out career in poltiics and running for office
ATPWednesday, 06 December 2023 at 22:30
Martina Navratilova has ruled out the possibility of a political career in the future, stating that she might have considered running if she were 20 years younger. The 18-times Grand Slam champion also expressed the belief that her outspoken honesty might be tolerated in a man but not in a woman.
In an interview on the podcast "On with Kara Swisher," Navratilova discussed her interest in politics but acknowledged that, at 67 years old, she is not inclined to pursue a political office:
"I am. I’ve been asked many times. But I think truth doesn’t work in politics you know I speak my mind way too much. I think maybe as a guy you can get away with it but as a woman, I just don’t know, but I think I am too old for that.”
“20 years ago, I wish I…, if I was 20 years younger I would run. But I don’t have the energy for it now, and the skin. Really it’s just too nasty," Navratilova said on the podcast.
Kara Swisher inquired about Martina Navratilova's political stance, particularly given her outspoken opposition to transgender athletes participating in women's sports categories. Navratilova discussed the athletic advantage she believes transgender athletes might have due to higher levels of testosterone, emphasizing that her position on this issue doesn't align with conservative ideologies.
“When you are thinking about this — because one of the things you are very clearly is political on Twitter, especially anti–Donald Trump, anti-GOP, I would say. Is it strange to you to be in the same political space as this group, which is obviously using it for cynical purposes? Does that worry you?” Swisher askerd
“You know, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. But again, the reason why we agree are two completely different reasons. So, I don’t know what to say other than I am a bleeding-heart liberal. I admire people that go against the grain. But my North Star is fairness, and male bodies in women’s sports are not fair, and that’s my North Star. And I cannot budge from that,” claimed Navratilova.
