Looks like Serena has been infected with that Michelle Obama spirit.
Following orders...just getting in your face!
(I don't watch the tennis much anymore because I think the US Open has morphed into a show rather than a sporting event. But I did switch over last night during breaks in the Ohio St - USC game so I did see this when it happened and then saw a bit of the aftermath.) Suggesting that Serena Williams and Michelle Obama have anything in common besides their skin color is absurd. SW's skin color has never opened any doors for her and no one with "pull" has ever appointed her to a sweetheart job. She offers nothing and relies on nothing except her ability.
Big deal! Every time she competes, she does it live on stage with lots of people surrounding her, watching and even listening. In the heat of the moment, she said something to someone she probably wishes she hadn't said and would rather not be judged for. She was quite available and contrite after the match answering all sorts of silly questions.
Give her a break; and please don't compare her to Michelle Obama.
