Same in athletics, a lot of the coaches sleep with their athletes some get married

Just the opposite. The athlete hires and fires the coach. Of course we're all assuming female tennis player and male coach. I suppose the power dynamic would be in place if male athlete says to female coach "screw or lose your job" then it would be problematical.

Then you’d probably get me too’ed by your own coach lol

Ain't none of anyone's business except the player and coach, provided the player is of the age of consent.x

Na. Power dynamic. It's like saying managers should be able to sleep with their employees
Y34rZer0 t1_j5nwqow wrote
but don’t players selected their coaches? It’s not the same power dynamic really
GreatAndPowerfulNixy t1_j5o4vhd wrote
Not usually, no
SpicyUnicornBrittle t1_j5onltp wrote
Actually sort of, the dynamics between a tennis coach and player are different than the usual coach of a sports team. A basketball coach can take you off the team, a tennis coach can't stop you from a joining a tennis tournament(unless he was running it). To your point, The dynamics are more similar when it's the coach of a college tennis or highschool(eww) team. For younger athletes you'd probably see more sexual favors passed from parent to coach.
BroForceOne t1_j5n892q wrote
Honest question, but how is the power dynamic in favor of the coach? The athlete makes the money and is the employer, the coach is hired staff.
TheWoodsman42 t1_j5n9m77 wrote
It’s heavily in favor of the coach when the athlete is underaged, which is what this is about:
“Shriver, who revealed last year that she had an inappropriate relationship with her coach Don Candy when she was a teenager, told The Age in an interview published Sunday that bringing the hammer down on coaches who sleep with players is as important as cleansing the sport of those who use performance-enhancing drugs or attempt to fix matches.”
That’s literally the first sentence of the article.

If they’re consenting adults, mind your business.

Except they’re not, which you’d know if you read the article:

If they’re not consenting adults, then it’s rape which is already illegal right? Or is she just saying that statutory rape often happens in tennis?
Brewing_Tea t1_j5oy61r wrote
I like how this person thinks Pam Shriver wants to step in and break up a healthy, consensual relationship between two people just because they met learning tennis.
And not... you know... the rape
