How old are you? I caught the beginning of the sjw era in college and it happened fairly regularly in Nola. Bunch of morons running around especially during the whole monuments thing. If I didn't sign something, I wasn't acknowledging my white and male privileges blah blah blah.
But I left Louisiana at 22,then was in Orlando for 15 years, they're definitely more accepting of all kinds of people then the deep south lol.
Then north Texas for the last 3 years.

Why? Because that doesn't help your argument?
No because was clearly given a warning and wasn't penalized just like almost EVERY OTHER PLAYERS who gets
caught doing this.She clearly escalated the situation.

You might want to try reading this:
quote:
The warning was triggered when Williams' coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, made clear and repeated coaching gestures to his player on the court.
For a professional umpire, keeping an eye on the coach is standard practice. All coaches know that such hand gestures are a breach of the code of conduct.
The decisions made by Ramos had nothing to do with sexism or racism.
The point penalty was triggered when Williams destroyed her racquet on the court after having her serve broken. Apart from the bad look for the sport of a player violently breaking a racquet on court, it is also dangerous to on-court officials, ball persons and front-row spectators as shards go flying.
All players know that destroying a racquet on the court is a mandatory code violation.
The game penalty was triggered after Williams, in a lengthy tirade, loudly accused the umpire of being a "thief" stealing points from her. Ramos let the tirade slide, showing great composure until Williams accused him of cheating.
All players know that publicly attacking the honesty of the umpire is going to result in an immediate code violation.
Doesn't fit your narrative so I'm sure you'll ignore.

So people should only consume things they agree with and purposefully remain ignorant of all else? Just a pinch of critical thought could have saved you the stupidity of that comment.

What a surprise that jason horowitz is taking Serena's side
Male former Tennis players Andy Roddick and James Blake among others are supporting Williams assertion.

I’m a former tennis player. Pretty much every high level tennis player agrees the umpire fricked up
That doesn’t mean Serena didn’t act like a spoiled bitch though
Not sure why people can’t understand both sides can be in the wrong....

This is what both of us have said in multiple threads to people calling us idiots likely because people on this board cannot read apparently.

I also clearly explained that I had no idea what The Undefeated was before reading (part) of the article.

What? And was the last player to call a tennis official an theif?And then proceed to smash their racket?
If this wasnt Serena the penalty would have and shouldve been far worse.She's a disgrace that should be suspended from all tournament play for 2 months...
I love people who have never watched tennis before chiming in on these sorts of arguments.

Many are obviously pissed at her claim that she was treated differently and Roddick ,Blake and many others agree she was treated differently( her sex probably played into it) . We understand that women who hate to lose, show emotion and are very competive are seen as '.bitches' . Further proving the double standard claims .
All Tennis and aspiring Tennis players should be grateful for Serena looking at all of the attention she Garners for the sport. They seem obsessed with her here.
Posted on 9/10/18 at 11:55 am to sugar71
I just want to know what the hell her having a daughter has to do with anything?
Posted on 9/10/18 at 12:02 pm to pvilleguru
I thought the warning and point penalty were fair based on the comments post-match but the game penalty seemed excessive. Serena handled the situation with the booing crowd well and helped diffuse the situation.
I agree with the poster that mentioned both Serena and the ump should share blame. I don't think any further suspensions are necessary (although I agree with Serena's fines).

Forgot to mention that I don't think Serena should have mentioned her daughter during the rant but that is only a very minor part of the story.

I don't watch a ton of tennis, so maybe this is my bias from other sports.
She violated the rules, lost her cool about it and got penalized. That isn't good, but it happens plenty. Steph Curry melted down about a foul call and threw his mouthpiece into the crowd in an NBA finals game.
I'm not gonna argue Serena handled it correctly, but I don't really think she needs to be suspended. She got serious in game consequences and lost. 9 of 10 times in most sports, losing it on a ref isn't a suspension.

The game penalty is the rule. Not some judgment penalty the chair gave out.
3rd infraction = game penalty. Pretty cut and dry.

I'll admit that I don't watch tennis, but the only people responsible for Serena losing is Serena, her coach, and her opponent.
