Tennis Tantrums
Serena Williams lost the US open because of her tantrum. Kinda reminds me of John McEnroe's tantrums. I thought his were the best ones. Here's the youtube. If someone can post an actual news link, that would be fabulous, because I don't know how to.:)

I watched it twice. The first time I thought the judge was wrong. The second time I could see that as she made contact with the ball her foot was on the line.
But what a BABY that line judge is! |
Williams showed no class in the press conference. She didn't take responsibility for her actions or apologise. The line judge wasn't a baby. Williams was a spoiled bitch.

I love jokes and trash talking but watching that even made ME cringe.
I think it's a combination of two things: 1) Bad timing: This isn't the 80s and John McEnroe (love him!!!!) temper tantrums have stopped being funny and cool. They've clamped down on those things since then because of complaints of unsportswomanlike conduct; fear of crazy fans and athletes; terrorist threats, etc. 2) Characteristics: She's a burly Black woman, who sometimes lookalikeaBlackman, talking to a white woman. |

Now we ALL know a threat with a tennis ball rammed down ones th'oat (East B more) is a mostly empty threat since it's rather difficult to do. BUT... Looking at the little woman and the BIG Tennis player, then that threat was thought to be real. |

Serena was like "I didn't threaten to kill you...are you serious?" That woman looked so sincere. LOL. Like she was really concerned. That'll learn you, Serena...that'll learn you. |

yes...I laughed at that too because they all took the ball th'oat thing so SERIOUS. If I could count the times I have heard people who were threatened with bodily harm of objects shoved in orifices knowing that they weren't serious, I would be rich. Not to say that she was joking however, but THAT was not a threat to kill. OH and let me say that this doesn't excuse her behavior as it was out of line, but rearlly? |
