Couldn’t have been an honest mistake...
I don’t know Russian, but maybe it’s possible to mistranslate siblings from sisters to brothers?
“Where is the reference to race??????”
I think the “brothers” reference is a two in one slur, racist and sexist.
It was rude, but not necessarily racist. Naturally, Serena will add that on to any presumed offense. In his position with national women’s tennis teams in Russia, he should have known better. He must know how women are about their appearance, especially since what he is saying is a common belief that usually goes unspoken. Serena will remain huge long after she finally retires. I don’t seem to recall Venus ever getting so heavily built. That’s one reason many think Serena has been taking steroids.
A rude Russian; what a surprise. As the song goes, let it go...
In Obama’s transformed world everyone is a racist or sexist if they are not black and supporting progressive politics.
Hey that ruskie stole my line.
I’ve been referring to them as the William brothers since they first came on the scene.
Has nothing to do with skin color.
I remember when her father called a Romanian player a “big white tall ugly turkey”. (after the Romanian lady and Serena’s match)
Putin will make sure that the Russan judge is shielded from any pukish US PC crap.
Now if that were an American judge, he would have lost his job and been subjected to prosecution for hate crimes.
Like the Ruxsian tennis officials give a damn what she thinks....
Wow...I wonder if she ever listened to her father?
I remember when lots of Americans made similar comments about East German swimmers. And we were right.
I have always felt that Serena would not pass a chromosome test.
They used to disqualify Eastern block “women” shotputers (for example) after determining they were a “man” regardless of genitalia.
Russia (former USSR, really) knows more about female athletic hormone enhanced performance than the rest of the world put together. Maybe he is commenting from the perspective of an expert witness.
I can't argue with that.......You ever look at their shoulders, arms and legs?
They belong in the NFL.......
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”.
The media has the race baiters trained, but they keep forgetting to tell them foreign countries never learned American racism.
