John McEnroe is the latest to pile on Margaret Court for her views on same-sex marriage and the LGBT community (see full tirade above).

He launches into a funny, expletive laden tirade, complete with beatnik drum fills and even brings Ilie Nastase back into the conversation.

McEnroe calls out both, saying “In the last few weeks you seem to have brought tennis back to the dark ages, so by the power bestowed upon me, as the self-appointed commissioner of tennis, I know pronounce you man and wife.”

McEnroe continues, and comments about Juan Martin del Potro's compassion for Nicolas Almagro, telling Court that she shouldn't get the wrong idea about it: “We all need more of that these days," he says. "Just a decent human being doing a decent thing. Do you know how hard it is still to come out in 2017—just think about that.”
