“I am ENTITLED to the win...!”

WHO does that sound like...?

I’ll bet you have TWO guesses, and they’re the same as mine.

I think she is on male steroids. let’s find out. It is a simple urine test.

Luckily, when Williams was losing to Osaka she was offered the opportunity to forever blame it on someone else. Nike must be even more proud today.

Why is the liberal sports media leaving out the fact that she’s half-Haitian?

Osaka became the first Japanese woman to win a Grand Slam singles title.

Normally this would be news, except...

I’m watching the replay now on the Tennis Channel. What a complete lack of class Williams displayed. And the rowed up audience is not a whole lot better. I’m ashamed of them and disgusted by them. Pathetic!

She got penalized the game after she threatened the umpire, saying “You will never be on my court again”.

You can call an umpire names, I guess, but you can’t threaten him.

There doesn’t seem to be video there, only ads.

After the match, her coach admitted to the initial infraction of coaching from the stands, but said that everybody does it, so it should not be against the rules.

It was a pre-arranged con job.

Black athletes extorting money from deep pocket sports groups based upon claims of prejudice.

In this situation, both the coach and Serena on different sides of the arena, independently mentioned the rules weren’t enforced with the men’s tournaments so they thought it didn’t apply to them.

Only problem is Serena insisted he wasn’t coaching, when her coach insisted to a reporter independently, without Serena being there, that he intentionally was signalling her the same way the men did it on their games.

3 infractions on the rules, 1st a warning, 2nd a point, 3rd a game penalty, and Serena still arrogantly claims the officials should apologize to her for enforcing the rules.

Sheer arrogance of illegitimate behavior attacking legitimate authority.

Since they both pulled up the issue of “the men do it”, out of the blue, and nobody knows what the heck they are talking about at either location, IMHO, they colluded and planned the event prior to the games. It’s a con job. ESPN is part of it.

She even tried to accuse the Ump of misogyny at one point.

Pathetic

Serena is under a lot of pressure to win a record tying 24th slam. She would tie Margaret Court for 24 Grand Slams.

Serena said she was accused of ‘cheating’. How do you cheat at tennis? WTH? Something about receiving hand signals from a coach? What can be cheating on that?

I am not understanding this.

Then she was penalized a point for calling the referee a thief. WTH?

I may be siding with Serena here. I am not understanding what the frick was cheating and why she was penalized a point.

This is supposed to be a game of athletic talent and power, not a friggin personality clash with a dumbass referee.

If I’m wrong, someone please enlighten me.

Maybe, just maybe, its time to give a young mother and a great athlete some slack and consideration. She is not the first and won’t be the last competitive athlete in the heat of battle to demonstrate severe anger and frustration.

If she is fighting for “women’s rights and for women’s equality” then play 5 sets.
