+1 If that's the route she wants to go, so be it.

Google John McEnroe stockholm 1984 if you want to see a real bonafide sh*t fit.

+2 Way to compare SW to the most notorious crybaby and s--- stirrer of all time. And for the record, McEnroe was penalized all the time for his antics and was even disqualified from the Australian Open.

At least McEnroe never claimed to be anyone's role model or that he was standing up for men's rights when he pitched his fits.

So, in a nutshell.... this whole controversy is all because of her race and her sex and had nothing to do with her behavior. Interesting.

That poor girl! This is elitism at its finest.

While it seems there was some uneven adherence to the rules, it never works for a black person--even Serena Williams--to say that other non-black/males have gotten away with the same behavior. We know that we are conspicuous in predominantly white spaces and will be held to a different standard. A shame, and unfair, but the truth. Bad behavior is never seen as a reflection of an individual simply having a tough moment when the individual in question is black--it becomes an excuse for covert and overt racism.

Take a look at this Australian cartoon, in which the artist chose to portray Serena in the style of the Sambo-style depictions of black people common 100 years ago. Also see how Osaka is portrayed in the same cartoon.

Osaka accepted her trophy crying while the announcer bullied her. Welcome to elite liberalism.

Wow, that is horrible!

Interesting that Osaka is portrayed with blond hair. Also, that she is being asked to "let" Serena win when she is the one who was awarded the extra point and game.

PP here. Yes, I noticed that--I guess he's trying to say that Williams felt entitled to the win.

Perhaps but Osaka was outplaying her handily in the match.....so there's that.

But we will never have any way of knowing how the match would have ended. Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka both had quite a bit of playing time taken away from them, and they will never know what might have happened during that time.

Yes, nice misogynistic touch to infantilize a woman who is demanding fair treatment.

omg 'demanding equal treatment'.

no she was having meltdown because she was losing. it was precipitated by a questionable call and it is understandable. however doubling down on it does nobody a favor. certainly no other player will be impressed by her 'equal rights concern. it's a baloney, almost everyone knows it and shame on those who are trying to use this unfortunate incident as a cause... I am all for equal pay and paid maternity leave and presenting Serena's tantrum as part of that fight is beyond ridiculous.
