Americans like to root for the underdog and in Clisters case, she was making a remarkable comeback against arguably one of the greatest female tennis players ever, it's a great story, you can't necessarily play the race card here, afterall this is liberal New York, Obama country, and the home of Senator Hillary and Chuckie Schumer, Mayor Bloomberg, Congressman crook Rangel and the list goes on and on and on.......
You are correct; the anti Serena / pro Clisters sentiment of the crowd and judge is much more complex than just plain old racism. It goes to their liberal elitist bias which involves a pro-european prejudice for all things European, manifesting in this particular tennis player. I am finding it hard to believe that any self respecting Freeper would be favoring a Belgian over an American in any sporting event. Just ask yourself; “what has a Belgian or the Belgians done for the U.S. lately, or ever for that matter? How many Belgian troops are in Iraq, Afghanistan?
