Not sure where to post this...Serena Williams rant at US Open

People that think that cartoon is racist are misinformed and don't understand the definition of a caricature. PERIOD.
This may come as a surprise but...........EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT RACE.
When you can not refute that was said, go to plan B which is to cry racism. The woman in question is not attractive in the least and the cartoon highlighted some of her well pronounced poor features and IMO it was meant to portray her as a childish, loud big mouth. The desired outcome was achieved. I find it telling how this drawing crosses the line yet so many others are considered satire. The p.c. supporters have to answer the call!
booze, roids, or both?
let's go with both
CNN said this was because of Trump.
lol naturally
He was referring to the end of my OP when I said that in politics today when the president tweets something inappropriate/unpresidential many take offense to it and rather than take the high road and act with dignity, they lose their minds and act out inappropriately in response, then they use the president's actions that they don't agree with to justify their own inappropriate behavior.
I played both collegiate and professional tennis (ATP Satellite Tour) and still make part of my living involved in the sport. Here are my thoughts according to the rules.
Warning #1 (offered before infractions): Her coach admitted on camera that he was coaching her. He tried to make the case that everyone coaches from the stands. No they do not. They got caught cheating. End of story.
Violation #1 (points now taken): Racquet abuse. I'm sorry but you can't claim sexism here. Everyone gets a warning when they destroy their racquets on the court like that. She burned up her warning so this was an automatic point deduction.
Violation #2 (games now taken): Yes, players routinely jaw at chair umps. I've said some pretty nasty things to chair umpires. What people usually don't do is continue to jaw on and on at them for minutes at end and threaten their careers. Let's keep in mind that Serena once threatened to the life of a linesman. This time she didn't stop and it lasted over the course of a few points This isn't sexism and, quite frankly, I'm shocked he let her get that far before taking a game away from her.
The fans in New York should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously. **** them. They just stole a moment Osaka has been dreaming about her entire life. The USTA (United States Tennis Association) should be ashamed of themselves for what was said during the ceremony.
Female players have been screaming sexism for decades and it's absurd. They aren't as good, don't draw as many fans, and don't bring in as much money yet they've been complaining about not getting equal pay for as long as I can remember. Fine Serena, you want to be a moron and claim sexism? You played another woman, in a woman's sport, playing a tournament hosted by an organization with a female president and CEO, playing for a worldwide organization whose sole purpose is promoting women. Apparently it's sexist to do something that benefits another woman now
What we saw here is American faggotry displayed on the world stage. ****ing idiot.
FWIW, tennis players are mostly a bunch of self entitled arrogant pricks and you saw that on display Saturday. The people make me hate this ****ing sport.

She looks like what happens when you stuff 50 pounds of potatoes in a 10 pound bag.

How is it that posts like this are clear as glass, then some of your posts go entirely off the rails?

I need a bigger like button for this post.
If Serena's claiming sexism how come she and other female players never complain about not having to sometimes play 5 sets like the men do instead of a maximum of 3?
It is so wrong that all the attention is on Williams (who LOST) and pretty much no coverage of Osaka (who WON). Yes, she had a part in ruining the final win for Naomi. But, more blame has to be placed on the media for such lopsided coverage. I get that Williams is high profile, but the coverage should primarily be on Osaka's "upset" victory, and secondarily on Williams' behavior and penalties. JMO.
Oh, and Williams was totally out of line with her actions/outbursts. Be the example of a champion that children/youth can look up to by playing your hardest, ignoring your coach's attempts to illegally coach you from the stands, graciously accept defeat, properly congratulate your opponent, and THEN if you feel you were wrongly penalized, file a protest through the proper channels.
That's how I read it lol.
I am surprised that Lebron has time to dress in drag and play tennis with basketball season right around the corner. A man his age should get some rest.

She IS part of the entitlement generation that is so allergic to personal responsibility so naturally she must blame an outside source while the media plays p.c. police and kisses her butt.
