Some call her champion

Others call her "the non-compromising lesbian."

Some of you may recall a series of Reebok spots called "I am what I am." One of the profiled celebrities was tennis great Amelie Mauresmo. After her Wimbledon win yesterday, her Reebok team gave her a T-shirt that said 2006 Wimbledon Champion/I Am What I Am, which she wore to the press conference.

Anyone who follows tennis knows that the T-shirt was a riff on the famous Reebok spot. Perhaps the folks at Tennis X never saw the spots, or maybe they were just feeling particularly spiteful when they wrote:

Mauresmo climbed into the stands after the win to hug her support team, and the non-compromising lesbian later donned a t-shirt stating: "2006 Wimbledon Champion. I am what I am."

Or perhaps, more realistically, they are like the millions of others who make statements like this and have no idea that they are exposing their bigotry. What on earth does Mauresmo's sexuality have to do with the fact that she just dusted an opponent everyone thought would beat her to win what many consider the most prestigious prize in tennis?
