Whining Serena Williams is tennis’s Hillary Clinton

No one expected Naomi Osaka to win the US Open yesterday. Everyone favoured her opponent. The crowd was solidly with Serena Williams, as were the bookies. But the 20-year-old Japanese-Haitian, who became the first player representing Japan to win a Grand Slam, prevailed against all the odds.

Money and class are not the same

Katrina Adams, “the first African American” PRESIDENT AND CEO of the USTA. (US tennis assoc.) should be forced to resign over that comment. Reverse the situation........a white president of the USTA, defending the same actions of a white tennis player. She or he would be cleaning their desk out right now.

[Roccus]

Forget reversals, just read what she said;

'Perhaps it’s not the finish we were looking for today,’

[tomkat]

An excellent comparison !

That looks like one of Mike Øbama’s hideous outfits.

The real inequity was the unsportsmanlike rage that greeted her victory.

UGH, and the media scrambled to get a handful of Serena feminist sycophants to support her and continue the unfair for women crap. Serena is fading, such a poor excuse ridden lawyer. Comparing her to Hillary is nice. Maybe she can take a walk in the woods.

Ref: This is not your court, its mine.

The thing I can't understand is that she's claiming "sexism".Wasn't her opponent a woman as well? So a decision by the judge benefited one woman over another.

Does not compute!

Exactly! I appears she is calling her opponent a male.

Don't you know who I am?? I support Colin kapernick and I deserve to win and the media will support me whatever I do or however I act. Besides, it's unfair and my 100 million allow me to do what I want.

[super7man]

I am wondering what’s going on with Serena.

Maybe she's been listening to Colin, or maybe it's part of her Nike deal.

[ Don’t you know who I am?? ]

Ha, I was gonna say that in my first post on this thread.

None of the Ramos supporters made it on TV, just the Hillary supporters.

[super7man]

Why isn’t she ahead 50 points?

Cuz' it is tennis not basketball.

Even odder if you compare bodies.

The silver lining is we have another look into the dark soul of those among the entitled who have lost touch with everyone and everything that isn’t about them.

Very insightful comment. There is an epidemic of narcissism in some quarters.

[PGR88]

Williams has proven herself to be yet another rich, entitled, low IQ American professional athlete.

“I don’t know if shoving a ball down someone’s throat is gracious and courteous.”

Well, guess I missed this event. When and to whom did this happen?

[Calvin Locke]

I'm guessing it was a threat, rather than action.
