Social networks can sometimes degenerate… Tennis TV, the official streaming channel of the ATP Tour, which has more than 2 million fans, has just paid the price.

This Friday, December 23, Tennis TV published a video of the circuit Premier Padel. This is a point that has already gone around the web and is unquestionably one of the “puntazos” of the year with an incredible defense from Momo Gonzalez that ends in a winning pass between the legs.

The problem: it's a tennis page and people don't want padel on this page. In a few hours, more than 500 comments have swept…

And obviously the padel takes for his rank in passing. Here are some excerpts from comments:

  • Tennis is a sport… the padel is a game
  • This post makes me want to unsubscribe
  • I can't be the only one who doesn't understand this sport
  • Le padel is like the poor cousin of tennis
  • This sport is an insult to tennis
  • ....

Of course, it's a bit disappointing to read comments like this when you know the links between these two sports. Tennis TV, we support you, do not hesitate to post other posts of this type.
