re: It would be refreshing to see Serena Suspended for her actions.

But when Williams reacts like a human when she is being treated unfairly, or when her character is maligned, she is seen as egregiously unruly.

No matter how many times she twirls girlishly with her trophies, she’s never dainty enough. She’s never white enough.

What’s more worrisome, though, is that Ramos’ disciplinary grandstanding from, quite literally, on high also served a more chilling purpose, whether it was intentional or not. His refusal to respect Williams as an honest competitor doubled as a public and humiliating warning to the young Osaka, whose Haitian father famously decided to recreate Richard Williams’ training philosophy with his own daughters.
quote:
“I know that everyone was cheering for her, and I’m sorry it had to end like this,” Osaka said before the trophy ceremony, her words blasting through the PA system at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “I just want to say thank you for watching the match.”
In that moment, through sheer human decency and compassion, Williams was forced to shift from the role of competitor, the role that still inspires disgust and discomfort in so many whenever Williams reminds them of it, to something far less threatening: that of mother. She consoled Osaka and instructed a disappointed crowd to show some respect.
Unbelievable stuff.

It’s fricking nauseating.

If it's nauseating, why are you going out of your way to consume it?

Serena was an embarrassment yesterday.
So glad that roided fat arse POS lost.

I don’t have to go out of my way to consume something that’s everywhere.

You're reading The Undefeated...

I wouldn’t know what The Undefeated was if it wasn’t headlined on ESPN.

Ok.
You're reading ESPN and clicking on Serena topics. Someone forcing you to read those articles?
Good god. Until I started posting on TD, I had no idea grown arse men could bitch about such petty shite. All day every day. Bitching about something.

Not going to happen, she’s black. The NAACP would have Jessie, Al , Louis screaming racism. They would resurrect Malcom X just to make sure

A one season ban would be more fitting

She cheated or tried too. Everyone is held to a standard why not her.

What a surprise. “Unconscious bias” for being penalized for something that was admitted
The Undefeated; didn't read

There was a time when I was in
my 20s when coaching during the game didn't happen much.
Last couple of weeks it seems rampant.

It would be.
But it won't happen because she's black and ESPN's darling.

She’s female and a minority.
That’s an untouchable combo

Well when we’re constantly getting berated for simply being white or being men, something not in our control, and that we’re the cause of all the oppression and tyranny in this world, we have the right, no the obligation, to push back against such accusations based on fallacies.
So frick you and frick Serena and all her media buddies pushing lies.

Grow a sack, and quit being a thin-skinned pussy.

Wasn't she booted form the U.S. Open years ago?

Have you read a newspaper, news site, or watched tv in like the last 10 years?
I can assure you that I’m no thin-skinned pussy as you say but I am tired of the false narrative that’s being thrown out there in regards to race and sex in this society.
