Serena Williams proves she is a liberal Nut-Bag

[Getin the ring]

Her outburst stopped just short of using the race card.


https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/serena-williams-fined-17000-outburst-us-open/story?id=57708181

Everything that describes a liberal today was in her outburst

She broke the rules
She spit at authority
She blamed the incident on someone else
She claimed the umpire was a sexist
She violently broke things in her triggered fit of rage because she didn't get her way
And she ruined what was supposed to be a wonderful day away from the daily trash news cycle by bringing it into a sporting event

her statement at the press conference was classic nut-bag
"I felt like, 'Wow this isn’t how I felt when I won my first grand slam,' so I was like, 'I definitely don’t want her to feel like that,'" Williams said. "We’ve got to pull ourselves together here."

"We, Serena?, really?
I'd say we have a true female equal for Mr. Kapernick and his clown show

It wasn't political. She was just being a poor sport because she was losing.

Most of our great athletes have been pretty poor sports about that, because they're so competitive that they truly hate losing. But I thought it was a shame that she took that moment away from the eventual champion.

That's all very true...but still concerning...she was truly hysterical....she just lost it;(

this isn't the first time this has happened either. in 2009 she said she'd shove a tennis ball down a refs throat. (or something to that effect)

I do not agree with your assessment, if she was being a poor sport she would have allowed the crowd to continue booing Osaka, instead she asked them to stop booing and complimented her on her play.

I think she has a legitimate complaint about how some players players are not penalized for their behavior, but she was. I’ve seen male players do the same things she did and received no penalty.

She did act badly, but so do a lot of other players. There needs to be some consistency.

As bad as Serena behaved!
The crowd was disgusting,an a embarrassment to the country hosting.

I remember. She's a terrible loser - but so are people like Brady, Jordan, McEnroe, etc.

Serena is an absolutely amazing athlete, and I love watching her play, but I wish she hadn't melted down like that.

For the bolded, that was after the fact - and to her credit, she saw how much her tantrum had taken away from Osaka's moment, and did the best damage control she could.

But she absolutely lost it on the court, and it was because she was getting beat. Every ump is different - she's probably right about a double standard, but that particular ump has been strict w/ players in the past. I think umps shouldn't insert themselves into big matches like that, but it happens in every sport, and players have to keep their cool when it does.

Grinds right, she did. My mistake

He has also let things slide in the past with some male players and this is why there needs to be consistency, everyone outburst is penalized or no outbursts.

Again, Serena acted badly, but I can see her point.

I can see her point too, and agree about consistency. But I kind of rolled my eyes when she tried to portray herself as a champion of a much larger fight after the match. She was frustrated about losing more than anything. And her coach even admitted that he was coaching her (a violation, which I think is a bad rule, but a rule nonetheless).

The ump went too far, but she was just as responsible for how it escalated, imo. I just felt bad for the woman who won; it really should have been her moment.

I felt awful for her, too!

Sorry dear wrong again.

"Serena Williams, who lost both her temper and her US Open semi-final against Kim Clijsters on Saturday, was last night fined $10,500 (£6,300) and faced with the possibility of suspension for her profanity-laced tirade against a lineswoman who called a foot fault against her.
Neither Williams nor Earley were prepared to reveal exactly what was said to the lineswoman but the New York tabloids, which splashed the story across the back pages yesterday morning, were not so reticent. Suffice to say, it was not exactly ladylike: "I swear to God I'll fucking take the ball and shove it down your fucking throat.""

Your just mad because she bumped Trump's weekend tweets to the back page, the Donald is probably having a breakdown cause nobody cares about his morning rants

Cultists reduced to ranting about Serena Williams

sign of the times

Thank goodness, I wish the media would quit covering his tweets as they have his rallies.

I thought the charge of sexism was unfortunate. Although there is clear sexism in some aspects of pro tennis, it does a disservice to the cause to lob that attack at a particular umpire without strong evidence that he, personally, was being sexist. From what I've seen, he is unusually draconian as a judge, but I haven't seen sufficient basis to believe that he was harder on Williams than he would have been on a man in the same situation.

Since Williams's coach admitted he was coaching her, she was, in fact, cheating, since such coaching is against the rules. It upset her to be called out for cheating. Tough luck, you got caught for something most people get away with. But all she got was a warning for that -- no big deal. Then she melted down and busted up a racket. Fine, she's an impassioned player -- lots of players vent that way and get a warning, or if they're already operating under a warning, lose a point. But then she started insulting the umpire. What's he supposed to do at that point to restore order? You can argue he went too far, but it's far from clear that he did so due to sexism, so that's a pretty incendiary charge to lob his way.

Anyway, I thought Williams did a good job, belatedly, at seeing things through the eyes of her opponent and realizing how this whole thing had soured what ought to have been a sweet moment for her. Such empathy is commendable. Also, I don't understand the connection you're making to Kapernick. Kapernick isn't someone who cursed out a ref, slammed his helmet, and then made an incendiary claim based on having been penalized for cheating. He's someone who thought it would do good in the world to call attention to a serious issue of our time, and sacrificed his career in the process.

And then he, and the Trumpkins, will complain that the media is bias cause they are ignoring him

I agree, unless you got something substantial to offer, which can't be done in a tweet, you should be ignored

The Kaep comparison in the OP was nonsensical. There is no comparison or connection whatsoever.
