During the recent US Open Tennis Championships in New York City, top-seeded American player Jessica Pegula got some attention when she posted an Instagram reel showing her taking the subway from Manhattan to the event venue in Queens. "I don't like taking a car, and I like trains," she said. "So I always try and take the train."
We can relate.
Pegula's post inspired us to have a discussion about other sports stars who, at least occasionally, like to skip the luxury SUV or Lamborghini in favor of non-car modes (LeBron!)—and why we should care about it.
(As for Pegula, opting for the subway obviously didn't hurt her tournament one bit—she made it to the final, her first time to do so in a Grand Slam!)
