Billie Jean King, a tennis legend and equal rights advocate tweeted...
"When a woman is emotional, she's "hysterical" and she's penalized for it. When a man does the same, he's "outspoken" & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, Serena Williams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same"

Anybody agree?

I will admit I have said worse and not gotten penalized. And I’ve also been given a “soft warning” by the ump where they tell you knock it off or I will have to give you a violation. He should have at least given her that courtesy. Sad to mar a well played final that way.

I’ve regrettably said worse and I’ve never gotten a game penalty

Disagree
People hated McEnroe, but maybe you all are too young to know about him.

I’m not, and I’ve been watching tennis for decades. I don’t recall any of McEnroe's opponents awarded an entire game. Humor me, and prove me wrong.

Not the OP but...

“January 1990 - Thrown out of Australian Open and fined $6,500 after receiving third warning for misbehavior against Mikael Pernfors.”

Offense #1 - Intimated a line judge during the switchover after a perceived bad call
Offense #2 - Racket abuse violation
Offense #3 - Abusive language and obscenities

He was leading 2 sets to 1 in the 4th round (albeit he was losing the 4th set 2-4). He stated during the press conference that he misunderstood the new rules and thought ejection was only after 4 violations and not the newly instated 3.

So, I guess you may be right about an opponent not being awarded a game. But how about an entire match?

Nothing unusual here, folks. Just move along and keep paying the big crybaby her millions.

Dang! You are straight up a racist you just hate Serena because she is a successful black female. Check yourself.

You live in a fantasy world if you think anything you said is real life.

Well, most people certainly have a preference for their own. Human nature.

The artist is a he and no he did not apologize.

Regarding Osaka being white in the cartoon, the interwebs are defending that as merely the cartoonist fading out the background.

Again, did SHE apologize for her egregious behavior on the court? I guess not. Getting caught in a blatant lie is pretty embarrassing. She should still apologize.

Are you banned from the crybaby bully thread? That’s where you belong.

No one denies, but many excuse, the rendering of Osaka as a skinny perky white blonde.

Why are you defending nasty and lying behavior by a public sports figure? Is it because of her skin tone? Shame on you.

Did Andy Roddick? did Aaron Boone? has Tom Brady?

Why don't you expect men who do the same thing to apologize?

Why are you choosing to denigrate 1 particular person for her behavior but have never called out the same or worse done by men, who are white?

Is it because of her skin tone? Shame on you.
