[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, sometimes an issue isn’t men vs. women or black vs. white. It’s about a person’s behavior during a tough moment. That’s what this is about. Serena’s behavior during a tough situation. She didn’t handle it well.  And, she doesn’t get a pass  because she’s a mom, or a black woman or a super athlete. [/quote]

She didn't "handle it well" because she was being treated unfairly. How would any of us react in the same situation, playing a championship game and having, first, one point, and then, an entire game handed to our opponent? If there is any point in life where a person needs to stand up for herself, this is it. If we don't stand up for ourselves during a tough moment, when will we?

Seriously?  If this is your argument, you need to find a new one. 
There is a difference between standing up for oneself and throwing a temper tantrum.  Serena did the latter. 
Had she just had a conversation (passionate, even) with the chair, that would have been one thing.  But, then she broke her racquet and continued to rant to the chair.  
She would have had much more respect had she just stood up for herself. Instead, she stole a winning moment from the true champion of this match. [/quote]

Did you watch the match? The broken racket had nothing to do with the umpire, she was mad at herself at that point.

It is the umpire who stole the winning moment and cast a cloud over this championship by not allowing the match to be played fairly and completely by the competitors to the end. There will always be questions about how this match was officiated.

I watched the whole match.  She let her anger get the better of her when she broke her racquet.  That was HER action.  You are right - it had nothing to do with the chair umpire.  She CHOSE to do it.  
Osaka won the match.  She was the better player yesterday.  To imply that the match is “stolen” takes a much deserved victory away from the player who earned it - Osaka.  [/quote]
