I believe the point of PP's post flew over your head. |
| Her behavior was shameful. |
Yes. |

Tennis umpires might boycott her matches

I hate it when somebody is called out on their obvious poor behavior and they immediately hide behind the cloak of racism and sexism.....it's dishonest and deceitful. The real thief in that march was Serena.....she stole what should have been a wonderful moment from Osaka. |
They should, anyone who saw the way Serena talked to the umpire should know how humiliating that was, with her finger pointing, shouting out loud so everyone heard what she was treating with. I use scene to teach my kids how not to talk. |
I hate when people don't realize their own biases. And accept sexist behavior from refs. Not only that, they ignore the sexist overtones of his actions and excuse it, instead focusing on the angry behavior at the woman who is pissed for being treated differently. That includes YOU PP. |
+1 |
+1 So now....the umps want to boycott...and we are all going to pretend that there aren't any biases behind this? Are they still reffing for the men? Any organizational boycotts on the horizon for any of the male tennis players? Anyone? |

This isn't about sexism or racism, it's about the fact that there are rules in tennis, she is well aware of them, and broke them. Not only did she break them, she doubled down and asked for an apology from the ref. I was embarrassed for her as an athlete. Invoking her motherhood and gender only underscored how unhinged she was and unable to control herself. There are ways for her to address her assertion that she was unfairly treated. That was most certainly not it.
|
let's stop pretending that Serena was upset because she was "unfairly treated". She was upset because she was losing. When she had a break up in the second set she completely forgot about the "injustice". Only after she lost the break did she started to care about equal rights again lol. |
| Her behavior was disgusting. I am no fan at all of hers now. Too bad, she was one of the best ever in the sport. |
+1 I had been rooting for Serena. She played so well for parts of the tournament and to win only a year after a difficult childbirth would have been an amazing feat. But Naomi flat out outplayed her. I wish Serena accepted that loss with grace rather than wrapping herself in the cloak of unfair treatment. |
+2. She destroyed the amazing moment for Naomi. She doesn't seem to give a damn about black women other than herself |
Will you also be boycotting Yankee's games after Aaron Boone's meltdown? |
