FortWayne saysI don’t know who the fuck he is.
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.
Like I said--you really shouldn't be commenting on something you clearly know nothing about.
We're not talking about breaking the law here so the analogy is weak.
theoakman saysShe was already warned, then, she got docked a point.
Was she? I never heard the umpire warn her.
Hell, Rafi Nadal told the SAME referee that he would make sure he never worked another match again. No penalty, of course.
CBOEtrader saysBehavioral 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.
And that perfectly sums up Serena's issue with how she was treated...

The ump did nothing wrong and took a long long time to finally put her in her place.Exactly right. Serena just couldn't let it go. She kept on him relentlessly, so he finally shut her down after taking repeated abuse.
The "coaching" was the warning, on the next penalty, she's automatically docked a point. Breaking a racket is not something the judge is at liberty to ignore. It's an automatic point. She was angry because, in her mind, she shouldn't have got the warning in the first place. After that, she continually continued her tirade. The next penalty was earned over time. The ump did nothing wrong and took a long long time to finally put her in her place.

No the coaching was the first code violation. The racket abuse violation was automatic, I agree.
Where the ump was wrong was not giving a warning to Serena that she needs to stop arguing and go play. If not, she will get another code violation and game penalty.

But that's not the point anyway--the hilarious part is how all the closet racists get off on this. How many times the word ghetto has been thrown around on this thread. Pictures of monkeys, etc.Black herring argument
Pictures of monkeys,Approaching the third rail, why do you think racists compare blacks to apes or monkeys? The same isn't done for other targets of racists, for example, other colored people like Asians, Indians, etc.
Yes, the attention should be on Osaka. She won fair and square.The final was a victory for women of color (or, colored women)!
She's even half black
Serena really had no answer for Osaka's game. She was frustrated and took it out on the ref.

Actually, something similar happened in Virginia during a senate race. The Republican George Allen had his campaign events tailed by a Democrat Operative who was looking for any slip-up moments. George Allen of course saw this guy running around with his little video camera and once pointed him out, saying "This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt. Macaca or whatever his name is. He's with my opponent, he's following us around everywhere."
OK, it was a softball question, and perhaps PC prevented you from hitting it out of the park. At the risk of being called a racist, while being a firm believer in debunking the very idea of "wrong think" or taboo subjects, the obvious reason is that for many people, Africans resemble apes or monkeys. And so it is quite easy then to put down Africans by implying they are less intelligent animals. For the record, I do not ascribe to such beliefs, but can see why folks see the resemblance.

for many people, Africans resemble apes or monkeys
I guess Africans resembles gorillas because gorillas have black coloration
Europeans resemble Neanderthals or snow monkeys and Gingers resemble Orangutans
Orientals resemble monkeys because of typical small build
We all resemble other species of primates, because we actually are apes.
Saying that, I do remember in High School when a teacher brought in a spider monkey to a pep rally. The Spider monkey had the exact same face as a black kid in the class. It was his black friends that first noticed the resemblance and gave the kid grief about it.
