not PP but you are disgusting. i have been following tennis for more than 30 years. the most interesting periods for viwers are when you have rivalries. the past ten+ years in men's tennis are widely considered golden age of tennis because 3 best players of all time are playing against each other. it's an amazing time. in contrast, tennis was boring when federer or sampras were winning everything. similarly in women's tennis, navratilova vs evert was better time than today when any of the top 50 players has a shot at GS only to never be seen again. |

I'm a long time, avid tennis fan and have been to the Open every year for the past decade. There was an article in USA Today of all places that did a good job of putting this latest controversy in context....worth the quick read. And the people trying to frame this as a racial issue are disgusting race-baiters and ultimately minimize the unprecedented achievements of SW, a great champion.....shame on them.
"Serena used a detrimental umpiring decision as the catalyst for a breakdown in a match she was almost certainly going to lose anyway. Cover? Excuse? Subject changer? How about all of the above." https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/09/serena-williams-us-open-tantrum-outburst-controversy-penalty |
This is correct |
They clearly did not do their homework. It's a sexism issue not a racial one and she is clearly treated differently than men. |
|
Bla bla bla
Sexism again and again as the answer to everything Tiring She had many warnings and couldn't just shut up and keep playing |
there is no evidence whatsoever that she is treated differently than men Serena doesn't play against men so even she were treated differently that would be irrelevant |
+1. Let's compound the bullying. |
She certainly didn't act like a mom on the court. More like an entitled, spoiled teen. |
I can’t believe this is even a question in 2019. I’m embarrassed for us. |
omg serena's place as the best woman player of all time is well established. however, you want us to turn her tantrum which was clearly precipitated by the fact that she was losing into 'i have a dream' moment. it's not happening. |
What is tiring is that men get to act like pigs and nobody does anything about it. When will they get rid of fighting in Hockey, or storming the pitcher in baseball, or getting in the ref's face in basketball. When will these men be deemed "hysterical". Sorry, bro, but we are not going to sit down and be quiet any more. or shut up and dribble. |
Like this entitle, spoil teen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BXPXFzEwIU |
so now we are comparing tennis to hockey? women don't play hockey for a reason. and you are insane. |
We are talking about how male athletes are expected to act... hockey, football, baseball and tennis... compared to how women athletes are expected to act. You think fighting is not a "melt down" you are insane. Why can't they control their temper, fighting is not part of the game, I did not say boarding. Women do play hockey jackass. |
np - you obviously don't know hockey. |
