Serena and other athletes forget what they are; a cog in the wheel of "sports entertainment".

The networks which showed the contest sell time for commercials for things like life insurance, cell phone plans, Olive Garden, etc.

The winner gets paid endorsements, while the companies paying the endorsements (Nike, etc.) make higher profits selling sneakers and clothes made for a few dollars in foreign sweatshops. Nike just figured out to get endorsement from a failed 49er quarterback for example to still increase sales.

Serena was doing her job, and the rules of the job vary with the sport. If she breaks rules while at work, she will have negative consequences.

Sports figures all haven't figured out they are just trained seals for your amusement.

Not very serene...

What a fool and for the tennis organization to support her-the poor winner was a 20 year old-at least she was a minority too-else they would have said this was white supremacy Nazi and blame Trump.

John McEnroe I watched where he lost points or games for misbehaving

Before the 70's, tennis had been the game of gentlemen and good behavior. With all the other cultural meltdowns in the 1970's, tennis could hardly have been left alone, so we had the antics of such people as McEnroe and Ille "Nasty" Nastase and it's been downhill ever since. It was a far cry from the world of "Big Bill" Tilden who was the world champion from 1923 to 1927. Everyone thought it was also nice that he was always surrounded by young boys who he was coaching and taking for weekend trips in his red Marmon. It wasn't revealed until the 1940's when he was in his 50's that he had actually been a pedophile for years. The second time he was caught, in 1946, he was sentenced to hard labor for five years. He was released and in 1953 while he was tutoring a 15 year old boy, he died of a heart attack while planning to take him to a training camp.

Looks like he was thrown out of the Australian open once for repeatedly assholish behavior, but otherwise most of his penalties were fines. And his tirades were profane enough to make a sailor blush.

Meanwhile, Serena was penalized a point, then a game, and then 17,000 clams for calling the judge a 'thief'. Really, that's all she could come up with? The only thing Serena screwed up was her insult to the judge.. if you're gonna go there, might as well let the judge really have it.

You'd better believe there's a double standard. Yes, they're all cogs in the sports entertainment machine, but women have it way worse.

I dunno man, is it possible to be any more racist than that? Wow

Low class bimbo

Ofc there is. Women have their own leagues so as to allow them a chance for competition. Different game, different rules.

Show me a woman who behaved this way (or even a man in today's game) then MAYBE the Serena tantrum apologizers would have a point.

Evan F. says

I had a black man screaming "Honkey!" at me this morning when I pulled into the gas station. In his private world he was under assumption I violated his space somehow by pulling into the gas station ahead of him, cutting him off. When he was at least 6 car lengths behind doing 20 mph and I zipped in 35 mph.

Give your race baiting shit a rest will ya?! Obama broke the doohicky off that thingamajigger a long fucking time ago.

Racism is a dead Red Herring, any and all political clout and juice from that Agitation Bullhorn has drained out and is no more.

Stop acting like fucking Monkeys you filthy fucking APES!

Ya'll some pathetic ass Shit!

Women have their own leagues so as to allow them a chance for competition

I thought they were the complete equal to men. The match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in 1973 when King was 29 and Riggs was 55 was a joke. It was more like a younger man playing an older man--King was later revealed to be one of the most promiscuous dykes in the league. Was living with her lover, supporting the whole family and had bought them a home. If a man had done that with a woman it would have been a scandal. Marina Navratilova turned out to be a big proselytizer for LBGTQ. Probably the most normal tennis champion would have been Helen Wills (1905-1998). She didn't grandstand, played against men to hone her skills, something no self-respecting feminist would do today. Charlie Chaplin was once asked what he considered to be the most beautiful sight that he had ever seen. He responded that it was "the movement of Helen Wills playing tennis." www.youtube.com/embed/kCjIL1E1Zeo

Oh, cool, can you show me in the tennis rulebook how they're different, other than women playing 3 sets and men playing 5 in the 4 Grand slams?

Lol the article you linked contains an example where he lost a point. This is not a complete list. And how about getting completely thrown out of a grand slam. There is no double standard.

I call out someone who compared Serena Williams to an angry monkey, and I'm the one race baiting? Sure, dude.

Any more 3rd grade questions?

Of course I did, I just don't think you took the time to read it the way you're carrying on about double standards and other various Liberal tears horse shit.

Okay, so where in that article does it reference all the point and game penalties that McEnroe suffered.

We share 90% dna with our primate ancestors. Nobody looks more like a Bonobo Chimp than George W. Bush. Give him some purple skin and there you go. Money as fuck!

CBOEtrader says

Any more 3rd grade questions?

Yeah, any other rules? Does that make it a different game? Because that was your 3rd grade assertion.

I wonder if she’d yell racism when gets pulled over for speeding. It’s a liberal thing to yell that in tauntrums.

Behavioral penalties are enforced differently in different leagues, for sure. The womens' tennis tour will have different interpretations than the men's and certainly different than men 40 years ago.

When you can show us a modern player who behaves like this and doesnt get a penalty, get back to us.

We are all now stupider for having discussed ghetto tennis player behavior.

Well done--the insertion of ghetto, while not very subtle, is top notch.

She isn’t acting classy, that’s very ghetto to start settling disputes like it’s Jerry Springer drama.

Class is something left doesn’t get.

uh-huh. I remember all the times McEnroe and Connors and Nastase were called ghetto...

Oh yeah--they never were.

And that perfectly sums up Serena's issue with how she was treated...

Tenpoundbass says

It's strange how you are constantly bringing up race in this thread when Serena's entire argument is based on gender inequality. No one's bringing up race except you.

Oh, and it's more like 96%.

I don't understand why anyone cares about this. It's a sport. It's a sport that pays well if you win one of the major tournaments. Male, female, black, white, etc. There's not one person here that wouldn't go ape shit over potentially losing $2M by not winning. https://www.usopen.org/en_US/visit/prize_money.html

She could have kicked the ref in the nuts and killed his first born. It's 2 fucking million dollars. More then most anyone here will make in their entire lifetime. I haven't even watched it but don't give a flip. People will do stupid shit for $2M.

And yes, I get she's already wealthy. Let me know the next time you're playing golf with $500 on the line and you don't get pissed if you lose?

LeonDurham says

Oh yeah--they never were.

Maybe they never behaved like serena last week.

Threatening to ruin a judge's career for calling an obvious coaching violation followed by a childish outburst, followed by accusing everyone of being racist/sexist. Yeah "I dindo nuttin, y'all racist" in the face of overwhelming guilt is ghetto af.

Oh no--they behaved much, much worse.

Hell, Rafi Nadal told the SAME referee that he would make sure he never worked another match again. No penalty, of course.

Maybe you can show me all the times Nadal was called ghetto? I'll be waiting with bated breath.

No one knows who the fuck that guy is. What are you waiting for equal outcomes across generations now? Most childish liberal idea I’ve seen. As childish and ghetto as Williams behavior.

“But officer others are speeding too, you can’t give me ticket unless you catch all other speeders”. I laugh at immaturity of the left.

If you don't know who he is then you most definitely shouldn't be commenting on anything tennis related.

But next time you get pulled over for speeding tell the cop that they are not treating you same as others. Let us know how that works out.

I ain’t bailing you out. Call a lawyer.

We're not talking about breaking the law here so the analogy is weak.

It's not about what was said. It doesn't really matter what guys have said. Nick Krygios, or however you spell his name earns a suspension every other month. But what was more important is, that in most cases, the offender says something stupid to the judge and then, they either get warned or docked a point. Serena, kept carrying on and on and on and on and on and on and on, that's the problem. She was already warned, then, she got docked a point. And she just kept going and going and going and going.

Was she? I never heard the umpire warn her.

No we talking about breaking rules.
She was caught, she paid for it.
