Australian women's tennis legend Margaret Court caused a stir last week after declaring she would boycott Qantas over the airline's support for same sex marriage.
Igniting discussion revolving around same-sex marriage and the merits of free speech on a national platform, Court earned the ire of many professional tennis players who hit back, calling for Melbourne's Margaret Court Arena to be renamed or else they would boycott playing on it.
Despite the backlash, the 74-year-old is at it again.
In an interview with an Australian Christian radio show, the Perth-based Christian pastor out at the sport, saying "tennis is full of lesbians".
"Even when I was playing there was only a couple there, but those couple that led, that took young ones into parties and things... because they like to be around heroes," she said.
"And you know, what you get at the top is often what you'll get right through that sport."
The comments came in response to being asked about transgender athletes in sport and what it meant for sport in the future.
But obviously not one to hold her tongue, she didn't stop there.
Court took aim at transgender children, suggesting the idea of being trans was "the devil" and part of a Hitler or Communist-style plot to "get the minds of children".
"With the literature, the bullying, the stuff that's put out today to children's minds - I tell you what, if you haven't got parents who bring you up that way and you've got parents that don't care, and you're hurt and offended if somebody's saying something to you, your child can just start to think, 'Well maybe I am a girl' when they're a boy, or 'Maybe I'm a boy and I'm a girl'," she said.
"That's all the devil. But that's what Hitler did and that's what communism did - got the mind of the children. And there's a whole plot in our nation, and in the nations of the world to get the minds of the children."
