I’ve lost all respect for Serena. She couldn’t scream “racism” in this case so she went with “sexism”. How about some personal accountability?
Heck, I’m only an on and off tennis player/watcher and I knew that.
Does nobody remember John McEnroe?.................
Serena Williams and her defenders are disgusting.
The referee in william’s case is not required to examine the entire history of tennis players being penalized and to draw up a table of occurrences of penalties according to sex, race, and seriousness, and then see how william’s outburst fits into that.
The referee must judge the situation as it occurs, on its own merits.
The referee does not need to think “oh gee, 49 males penalized for screaming, I can’t penalize this woman.”
The referee should not have discussed the issue with her. Allowing her to speak and rant was wrong and unduly annoyed the spectators. “My decision is final.”
Fat chance! williams is a highly-paid, arrogant, specially-privileged member of two government-certified victim groups, and can claim privilege from either one at any time. She does not have to work and play fairly, like white males.
What the news keeps forgetting are all of Serena’s previous rants. Check this one out when she threats a very small Asian women.

Serena is a world class bully and a brat. She did not do this once. She does it all the time. She threatens, She intimidates then she plays the sexism or racism card. Nobody should look up to this lady.
It’s not surprising that men are penalized more often than women... women are generally better behaved. The obvious modern SJW conclusion: we may need a penalty quota for women.
Facts and transparency set you free.
To be fair though, the men probably do misbehave a lot more than the women do.
