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.
I don't know...I mean, people still love a good temper tantrum in other sports. I think it has more to do with #2 than #1.
