Right on time: https://slate.com/culture/2018/09/seren ... -open.html

This is insane. Author tries to explain that both parties were equally wrong, while running down Serena's entire history of abusing officials and opponents whenever she feels wronged. Much like the Patriots, such sore loserdom from the all-time best is just so distasteful. Lots of players get screwed worse and don't have 23 Slams to fall back on.

I feel like the media making excuses for her behavior is a fairly recent development. I don't remember these kind of defenses for things earlier in her career and recall the foot fault incident against Clijsters being subject to widespread ridicule (and she was arguably hated even more before that during the 2000s). If anything I suspect some of this is partly an overcorrection from some of the same people who were largely ignoring her continuing to rack up majors while declaring Ronda Rousey the Greatest Female Athlete Ever.

Ya what the fuck is that? I never called the almost 2 year old anything other than almost 2. I'm pretty sure my wife has never referred to either of them as toddlers ever.

And how can you moan about how much of your life you can't remember because of your kids.....the same kids that just a few years later you only see on the weekends because of your quest to be a female sports voice on the radio. I mean if not for her show there were be no women on sports radio anywhere...ever.



In that Nike commercial she kisses the kid and hands her to a nanny so she can play tennis. Talk about privilege.

Last week I watched some women's Tennis because one of the girls had erect nipples.

That's about the only Tennis I have watched since McEnroe retired.

How can it be sexist when it was a match between two women?

That's the first correct take I've seen.

That "award" ceremony was horrible. I can't believe anyone tried to spin it as Williams being gracious in defeat.

The winner was apologizing for winning. Hell, even the event head said it was the wrong result. The crowd is booing.

Serena has a history of going off the rails when she is losing a big match. But she is also correct to insist that there is sexism in the officiating. (In general there is little consistency in when rules are enforced.) There is also inconsistency in her defense, however, in that her coach admitted to sending her a signal while she claimed that her team does not have signals.

Serena said she wasn't cheating and demanded an apology from the ref.

“You owe me an apology. You owe me an apology.” Her voice then broke as she shouted, “I have never cheated in my life. I have a daughter and I stand [for] what’s right for her, and I’ve never cheated, and you owe me an apology.”

Williams then accused the ref of attacking her character, saying “You will never, ever, ever be on another court of mine as long as you live. You are the liar. When are you going to give me my apology? You owe me an apology. Say it. Say you’re sorry. … And you stole a point from me. You’re a thief, too!”

After the match Serena's coach admitted he was trying to coach her.

Will Serena apologize to the ref?

Later, Serena said "I’m here fighting for women’s rights and for women’s equality and for all kinds of stuff. For me to say thief, and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. He’s never taken a game from a man because they said thief."

"Women's equality and all kinds of stuff." :lol:

No sexism at all in play . That ref clearly didn’t want the man to win . He should be applauded for his fairness .

The 2009 U.S. Open was when Serena threatened to shove a tennis ball down a line judge's throat and lost the match on the ensuing point penalty. (Notable for this exchange:

SERENA: I didn't say I would kill you!
RANDOM FAN: Yeah ya did!


She's appealing to the same tournament director and WTA head then as she was this weekend.

Quote:
I don’t care much about the rules of tennis that Serena Williams was accused of violating at Saturday night’s U.S. Open final. Those rules were written for a game and for players who were not supposed to look or express themselves or play the game as beautifully and passionately as either Serena Williams or the young woman who eventually beat her, 20-year-old Naomi Osaka, do. They are rules written for a sport that, until Williams and her sister came along, was dominated by white players, a sport in which white men have violated those rules in frequently spectacular fashion and rarely faced the kind of repercussions that Williams — and Osaka — did on Saturday night.


"You see, the white male brain has an enlarged rules lobe, except when they don't." Also, what a first sentence. Traister is such a shitlib.
