Didn’t John McEnroe make a career of this sort of thing?
MisterLefty saysShe married a cuck.
No husband will ever want to mess with that thing.
How dare an athlete who is running on Adrenalin throw a tantrum. that is just reserved for the current POTUSDo the crime and do the time. Don't like the rules, lobby to change them but don't put on a tantrum to deter from the fact that she's losing to a perfectly composed, feminine woman.

John McEnroe I watched where he lost points or games for misbehavingBefore 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.
I don't know how many matches of John McEnroe I watched where he lost points or games for misbehaving
You'd better believe there's a double standard.
I dunno man, is it possible to be any more racist than that? Wow
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.
Women have their own leagues so as to allow them a chance for competitionI 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
Women have their own leagues so as to allow them a chance for competition. Different game, different rules.

Give your race baiting shit a rest will ya?!
CBOEtrader saysWomen have their own leagues so as to allow them a chance for competition. Different game, different rules.
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?
Funny, that exact link is in my reply, 5 messages above yours. Did you take a moment to read the article?
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.
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?
CBOEtrader saysAny more 3rd grade questions?
Yeah, any other rules? Does that make it a different game? Because that was your 3rd grade assertion.
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.
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.
We share 90% dna with our primate ancestors.
