John McEnroe has joined the chorus of backlash against Margaret Court’s stance toward same-sex marriage and anti-homosexual comments about the state of women’s tennis.

In a Eurosport video released Saturday night in Paris, McEnroe slams Court, but does it in a light-hearted sort of way.

“The self-appointed commissioner of tennis wants to make one thing very clear. He is a strong advocate of same-sex marriage. I actually don't see any reason why we shouldn't give them the right to be as miserable as everyone else,” McEnroe says.

Court recently said she would boycott Qantas in protest of the airline’s support of gay marriage, and said later on a Christian radio station, “tennis is full of lesbians.”

After that remark, Martina Navratilova called for Margaret Court Arena, where Australian Open matches are held, to be renamed.

Said McEnroe, "As for renaming the court that bears her name in Melbourne Park, the jury is still out. The self-appointed commissioner of tennis might have a viable solution: Keep the name, and when same-sex marriage finally becomes legal in Australia, I will personally call my good friend Elton John to host the biggest same-sex mass wedding ceremony ever seen in Margaret Court Arena.”

McEnroe, tongue still firmly in cheek, floated a theory as to why Court feels the way she does about homosexuals: She lost to Bobby Riggs, but Billie Jean King beat him.

“She did lose against Bobby Riggs in the first battle of the sexes,” McEnroe said. “Hold on, she lost to Bobby then Billie Jean King beat the s---- out of him. Now, we know where that hatred may come from."

Speaking of theories, another one holds that the Riggs/King match was fixed, but we digress.

As for Court’s statement about tennis being “full of lesbians,” McEnroe said whether that's true, not true or half true, no one "should give a f----.”

McEnroe went on to lump Court together with Ilie Nastase, who in April made racially-insensitive remarks about Serena Williams.

"In the last few weeks, you seem to have brought tennis back into the dark ages,” McEnroe said of Court and Nastase. "So, by the power bestowed upon me as the self-appointed commissioner of Tennis, I now pronounce you man and wife."
