I don't think people are hating on her. I just think they have doubts on whether or not she has been Using PEDs or not. I DGAF if athletes use them. IMO certain sports are more exciting when athletes use them.

Welcome to the future. There will never be another all time great that isn't hated by a lot of people . That's just how it is with the modern sports world

Because she is a bad sport when she loses and is a huge count

Not talking about the PED thread...
Pretty much every time during a match of hers, someone will post "I can't stand her"

It ain't the PEDs. Look at any athlete in recent times that is fighting to be an all time great and they are absolutely hated by a large portion of people
Serena
Tiger
Lebron
Peyton
Brady
Watt
Etc

ok well you didn't explain how people are hating on her. Sorry for the assumption. It think she is exciting to watch, due to her explosiveness compared to the others. However, she is a whiny biatch when she doesn't get a call her way.

One of these is not like the others.

because she's black and dominating a country club sport.

Hope Solo is a huge count on and off the field and she doesn't get a fraction of the hate Serena gets.

If Serena had Venus's personality I'd be all for her. When she loses she acts like a child and has no class for her opponent.
Posted on 7/11/15 at 2:21 pm to Macintosh504
Luckily she doesn't lose much.

But women's soccer is not nearly as relevant as tennis. Nobody cares about women's soccer unless it's some world tournament.

She's kind of socially retarded and people think she's a drama queen. Here's what people on another board were saying during the French Open.
quote:
It seems like she starts hamming it up regularly nowadays to prepare reason for a potential loss early in a match. Staggering around the court, acting confused, dropping the ball before serving, looking like she is about to cry or fall over dead between points.
quote:
This is insane looks like she is going to cry after every point. Grow up and play like a woman not a child.
quote:
Great now she is throwing up is that her excuse if she loses.
quote:
It's her winning methodology. She needs to feel like the underdog to raise her game and feel like she earned the victory or made a heroic comeback. The thing is she doesn't want to be the tragic heroine, she wants to be the heroine who overcomes the challenges.
Because there's no real challenge (her normal game trumps everybody else on tour) she has to invent problems and setbacks that will then motivate her to win. As if a huge injustice is happening on the court and must be rectified. That's how she wins and it works beautifully for her. Why change it? Nobody even calls her out on it.
quote:
I agree with this. . I used to get upset by it until I started appreciating the ridiculousness of it and started being amused by it. . She puts on a grand show overcoming all kinds of dastadly villians and insurmountable obstacles to gloriously defy death itself and carve out a routine win over an opponent with half her skill level. Its great theater in the tradition of Shakespeare, or WWE.

I honestly like Serena and is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, male or female, but she really is a fricking cry baby. She a lot of times throws a huge fit if a call doesn't go her way.
Posted on 7/11/15 at 3:04 pm to Macintosh504
So what you're saying is she is highly competitive. If she wasn't so competitive, she wouldn't be nearly as dominant

How many men actually look like her?
That's such a dumb argument.
