[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this has been mentioned but there was a sports commentator on the radio and she mentioned a video that is circulating. The video is of this official and his reactions to men who have acted out. The video apparently shows men behavior that was as bad and worse than Serena but no foul/penalty was called. Not one. There have been tennis players, men and women, who have come to her defense. This is not to excuse all of her behavior. But the fact is that she was treated differently. I am frankly tired of women being labeled as loud, obnoxious, hysterical, bitchy, etc. when they act in a manner other than a doormat. She stood up for herself as male players have. She was penalize and they were not (by this official). I'm guessing this guy did not like this little lady challenging him. That's sexism plain and simple.[/quote] no, she was not treated differently. please stop spreading a third-hand information (you heard someone said there was a video. seriously?).[/quote] NP here. Where do you get off. YES SHE WAS TREATED DIFFERENTLY. YES IT WAS SEXISM. You don't know professional tennis if you say she wasn't treated differently. They never, ever, call coaching and definitely would not do it in a major final. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. The guys have to go way way over the line or be ranked below top 100 to ever get a point penalty. [/quote] Ther is ZERO evidence that has been treated differently. ZERO. i have been following professional tennis for many years. coaching is called all the time and all players now that it might be called at any moment. besides coaching woolen have mattered if Serena also didn't break her racquet and then also abused the umpire. in fact if she only skipped one of those she would have merely lost a point. if she were winning she would never ever say those things to the umpire about a call that happened 20 minutes earlier. she wouldn't be where she is if she were not able to let the thing roll off her back when she needed to do so to win. but she knew she wasn't going to win so she indulged in a tantrum and the fools are making a her of her for it. Unbelievable.[/quote]
