Are you disrespecting me?

Fox News to show the vid in a few minutes.
"I used to have a real temper, and I've gotten a lot better," Williams said later. "So I know you don't believe me, but I used to be worse. Yes, yes, indeed."
Glad we didn't see her on one of her "bad days."
WOW and the Jon Stewart media has been crying about lost civility. Have we not heard this somewhere before right out of the bowels of our government????
She’s just keepin it real, homie.
Meltdown: Official Says Tennis Star Serena Williams Told Her "I Will Kill You" - Video 9/12/09

She lost 6 weeks ago cause she didn't train hard enough and didn't have the foot speed to run down Clijster's shots or take over points off her serve.
Tennis is the "fairest" of sports. You have to win by 2 points and two game unless you go to a tie-breaker. But you still have to win by 2 points even then.
There is no "running out the clock", no lucky one shot or knock out punch.
Serena knew she was getting owned by Kim and just took the easy way out. It's her way of saving her ego. It's almost as bad as Marcelo Rios tanking matches. In fact it's worse cause she was the champion and I believe she had a b#tch fit cause she wasn't #1 in the world ranking and Kim Clijsters wasn't just bowing down and losing like she'd done 7 out of the last 8 times they played.
Just a sad pathetic moment in Women's Tennis and in American Tennis. pathetic.
Looks like Serena has been infected with that Michelle Obama spirit.
She now qualifies as obamas physical fitness czar.... or at least an important post in acorn
The judge is quite obviously a racist. I mean really, what other explanation is there these days when things don’t go right for the Obamatons?
Sounds like she could play in the NFL...National Felon League.

Beer time again on the White House patio?
Just keepin it classy!
She is obviously insulting and threatening the judge. She loses. Maybe she should take up hockey instead.

As bad as this incident was, leaving a three-quarters-filled Arthur Ashe Stadium in near stunned silence, worse was Williams’ handling of the aftermath in a news conference. There, she had a chance to apologize, or maybe even fake some remorse. She did neither.
Instead, we got the usual, phony, sing-songy deflections and silly answers — all done with a big smile, as if she had just won, 6-0, 6-0.
Examples:
Question: What did you say?
Answer: What did I say? You didn’t hear? Oh.
Q. Do you think the lineswoman had any reason to feel threatened. Apparently she says she felt threatened?
A. She says she felt threatened. She said this to you?
Q. I’m just repeating what has been said that she told the chair umpire.
A. Well, I’ve never been in a fight in my whole life, so I don’t know why she would be threatened.
Q. Do you regret losing your temper both after the first set and after the foot fault?
A. I haven’t really thought about it to have any regrets. I try to — I’ve done — you know, I try to not live my life saying, I wish, I wish. But, you know, I was out there and fought and I tried and I did my best.
Q. You’ve always prided yourself on being an extremely forthright player, and with us here in the press room. Could you tell us what you said on the court, please?
A. I don’t think that’s necessary for me to speak about that. I’ve let it go, and I’m trying to better — to, you know, to get — to move on.
Q. Do you think the lineswoman deserves an apology?
A. An apology for?
Q. From you.
A. From me?
Q. Would you be interested to see if you actually foot faulted?
A. I’m pretty sure I did. If she called a foot fault, she must have seen a foot fault. I mean, she was doing her job. I’m not going to knock her for not doing her job.
Roid Rage?
