Shamil Tarpischev was also fined $25,000 for making the comments on Russian television. He also said the sisters were "scary" to look at.

If that is one of them, “SCARY” is an understatement!

When all you have is a hammer....
I don’t see the ‘racism’ in that comment. But isn’t a strange turn of events? We used to make fun of Russia’s “Ursulas”.

Compare this photo to one of Martina Navratalova. No one can convince me that they do not/did not take steroids. It has nothing to do with black or white.

Perish the thought. The Russian was right; she’s scary. Shudder.

” Steroids? Are you kidding, Serena Williams is 33 years old. In her twenties, she was strong but did not have man veins in her delts. She has had several odd occurrences, one in which she threatened to kill an official by jamming the ball down her m-—— f——— throat. Then there was the Wimbledon doubles where she couldn’t return a ball, couldn’t see the ball and was so spaced out she had to forfeit. Serena has several times ran to her “safe room”, locked herself in, claiming she thought it was an intruder when the official to draw blood showed up randomly at her home. Serena is a “Jehovah Witness” now which it is understood that medical things such as blood draws is forbidden. She is definitely using .”

Thanks for the info.

I don’t think a Jehovah’s Witness would be wearing tennis skirts so short like she does.
