    Portland is a lost cause. Just nuke the city or spray it with ebola.
    Kill them all.

    Martina Navratilova has called out the Portland police for their
    inaction during incidents of violence against multiple women at the
    Women's Declaration International (WDI) USA event.

    On Sunday, November 19, the WDI was scheduled to hold an event called 'Protecting Women and Children' at the Multnomah County Library in the Hollywood Neighborhood. The goal of the event was "to give talks about
    how to protect women and children from the threats we face," according
    to the organization's website.

    However, the library was vandalized in protest the night before the
    event. As a result, the organizers decided to stage their gathering at
    an intersection a few blocks away from the library, carrying a banner
    that read 'Woman = Adult Human Female.' Midway through the opening
    speech, protestors brandishing pepper spray attacked the women present. American writer Lierre Keith, who attended the event, later took to
    social media and disclosed that she, along with three other attendees,
    had to be rushed to the hospital due to the violence from the "mob of
    'antifa' men."

    "Four of us at the ER right now. We are in good spirits and remain
    undefeated. A mob of "antifa" men attacked us, pepper sprayed us in the
    eyes, punched us, kicked us, and stole our phones. We were attempting to
    have an event about male violence," she posted on X (formerly Twitter).
    She also shared pictures of her bruises and revealed that she had a lump
    on the back of her head as a result of the violent protests.

    "A selection of my bruises from yesterday. I also have a lump on the
    back of my skull from being punched. In case anyone still had any
    questions, this is violence against women," she posted. In response to
    Keith's experience, Martina Navratilova criticized the police for
    failing to protect the women at the event.

    "And where was the police??? Nowhere to be found...," Martina
    Navratilova commented.

    Martina Navratilova: "I would be surprised if Coco Gauff doesn't win
    another major, and Wimbledon makes the most sense"

    Martina Navratilova recently shared her predictions for the 2024 season.
    The 18-time Grand Slam champion disclosed that she expected Coco Gauff
    to win her second Major title next season, most likely at the Wimbledon Championships.

    "I would be surprised if she doesn't win another major this year, and
    Wimbledon makes the most sense. I think it's on grass because she's
    better at the net than any of them and moves forward so well. That and
    her improved drop shot," Martina Navratilova said in an interview with
    the WTA.

    Navratilova further contended that the American's chances of triumphing
    at SW19 were bolstered by Iga Swiatek's admission that grass was her
    most challenging surface.

    "I think you'll see that across the board next year, the [Carlos]
    Alcaraz influence on the sport. For me, Coco Gauff should be the
    favorite on grass. Particularly since by her own admission, it's Iga's
    most challenging surface," she added.

    Gauff had a disappointing outing at this year's edition of the Wimbledon Championships, suffering a shock defeat to Sofia Kenin in the first
    round.
