Legacy

[edit]

In Russia, despite her modest popularity as a top-50 player, Makarova is well-known for providing her explanation for the issue ofLGBT-athletes being more common among female tennis players than on theATP Tour (while the most popular example wasToomas Leius according to the locally popular 1993 short storyFugue with [Male] Tennis Player byMikhail Veller).[4] She said the following: “When you get tired after a match or training, you no longer want to dress up or go to a party. Therefore, some tennis players solve the problem of sex [absence] by means of "lesser bloodshed" [local idiom which means "easy" in a dual meaning: the simpler the better or silly][5] — with each other. Besides, you can't afford to take your beloved man with you — he has to work himself". The last part has been clarified to mean that "most female tennis players cannot afford traveling with their beloved man financially".[6][7][8]

According to Vladimir Dal, "stupidity is worse than a thief." The reason is always worse than the effect. Theft, which is violation of human and divine laws, usually has a direct consequence in simplicity. Given the prevalence of this phenomenon, let me remind you that Vladimir Ivanovich Dal not only distinguished but also opposed simplicity (directness of the heart) and simplicity (emptiness of the mind). What are murder and robbery if not disgustingly simple solutions to problems?
