Serena is a bully and a crybaby

That habit of throwing her equipment is probably what she does in training (some swimmers throw their swim goggles when not able to perform as they planned). And yes, there is diva- like showing off, but she’s a celebrity. It doesn’t really show her being disrespectful to others on court

It looks to me that she has a real racket smashing habit. It seems as though when something frustrating happens she smashes her racket in order to get a break in play while she goes over to the sidelines to retrieve a new racket. It gives her time to regroup and it also helps to throw her opponent's momentum off.

When the judge made the coaching call that created a scenario where she'd lose a point if she busted her racket. She busted a racket and lost a point. And then proceeded to tantrum for the rest of the set.

The whole thing was stupid and needless theatrics.

Nike stood behind Ms. Williams when French Open officials banned her Black Panther-inspired outfit.

Nike also recently unveiled its new “Just Do It” ad campaign that features Colin Kaepernick, along with other high profile athletes like Ms. Williams.

Yesterday, Nike's stock closed the day at $83.47. This is the HIGHEST Nike's stock has ever closed in its 54-year history!

If Serena were a woman she’d be a legend.

What a stupid comment (different poster here).

Serena looked more like an angry teen amateur than like the world-class star she has been for 2 decades.

Thank you, Mr Trump, for the highest prices in Stock market history.

And thank you too for including Nike in the ride.

There you go again, capitalizing random words.

Don't know how you divide your time between DCUM and Twitter.

But yes, indeed. Your hate peddling has a lot to do with Nike's market success. Huge and Historic Success!!

You either are not an athlete either or don't know any. Competitive athletes get fired up about play. Particularly when they are accused of cheating. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I think the thing is if she werent Serena, if she weren't a woman, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

It is bad behavior whether it comes from a man or woman, but Legions of temperamental man have gotten away with this behavior in Tennis without it becoming a national or International convo.

I think it is hard to deny the fact that Serena being a woman, and most importantly, a black woman, is driving a lot of the outrage. The Stereotype of the angry black woman is definitely being trotted out and used against her.

as is her weight, her looks, all of it. Stuff that we would never use to talk about Agassi or McEnroe

And everyone saying she used to be classy, I used to like her. No! You have been nipicking and hating on her all this time! Hypocrites.
(i am an athlete, I have never liked her antics, or how she dominates, but she is being treated differently. No question. And she's tired of it. )
