I just saw a segment on Niteline about various people/groups complaining about the amount of grunting (specifically women) in tennis. I wish I could find a video clip of the segment but this article pretty much sums it up

The grunt stops here: Tennis officials plan crackdown on noisy players

Is the grunting annoying? Necessary? Sexy? Makes you hungry?

Discuss...

I certainly won't be able to masterbate to womens tennis without the grunting, so I say keep it.

That reminds me of a game Howard Stern used to play with callers called "Tennis or Porn"

Do not care.

 

[buildyourown]

Totally hot.

The idea that they could tell an athlete what noises they can and cannot make during play is absurd.
Only people who get whooped on would complain anyways,

 

[CRoss]

Wonder what they are talking about??

 

[chicodude]

Do not care.

Thanks for the insight buddeh

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Do not care.

srsly - who could possibly give a hot god damn?

I listen to ESPN Radio when I am in the car. My opinion is that way too much time is spent talking about this. But, I guess there isn't too much to talk about during the dog days of summer...baseball season is chugging along, but the NBA, NHL, NFL, and NCAA are all in their off-seasons.

I'm spreading rep like peanut butter on Anna Kournokova's nipples.

Generally I would say...don't care, but I do find it absurd that they're trying to tell someone they can/can not make a noise.

[SkaredShtles]

People still play tennis?

 

[BurlyShirley]

Im not really sure "grunting" is an accurate description of the noise they make.

You better worry: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/07/02/national/a083503D16.DTL&tsp=1

A group of teenagers misunderstood a woman's screams during sex and, thinking they were stopping an assault, beat a 25-year-old man in her bedroom, police said.

 

[Westy]

Looks like she is threatening to deliver the George Costanza patented 'knuckling'.

 

[jasride]

I think it's lame. To me it's just an intimidation factor, why don't they just yell bi*ch, slut c*nt or whore instead? I never did get to waff one out to a hot tennis player grunting because I thought Monica Seles was the only one with that technique.

 

[moff_quigley]

This video would be much more enjoyable iffin she'd grunt...

 

[ultraNoob]

too bad she's under age... and she plans on getting reduction surgery

 

[stoney]

Grunting is fine, as long as I'm causing it...

 

[dump]

I don't think the problem is with a little noise... some of these wenches are grunting over a 100db each time they hit the ball - that's pretty f'd up.

One of the points made in the segment I saw was saying that the Nongrunting player needs to be able to hear when the opposing player is making contact with the ball to properly time their counter. If the player is grunting so loud the other can't hear the ball contact its impeding the ability of the other player to return a shot. Sounds like strategy to me, but apparently its upsetting a lot of people.

Totally hot while watching the highlights on the news.

Frankly, a little grating after watching a set and really goddamned annoying watching a whole match. (I tend to feel the same way about loud neighbor sex...)

Incredibly funny when discussed on Ridemonkey, however, so that's something.

why don't they just yell bi*ch, slut c*nt or whore instead?

Oh, now THAT might be hot.

 

[DirtyMike]

I was thinking something else to put in there

Thats what I was thinking

 

[zahgurim]

Depends on the situation...

In bed = OK
In the bathroom =

I'm going to need the cliff notes for that post.
