I can’t stand anyone who stands up for Serena. Lots of people are not getting the point. She is a spoiled brat, a bully, and a sexist. The US Open rules for women are set by a board of mostly women. They have nothing to do with the men’s tennis rules. Although they are mostly the same. The fact that the women’s board wants to hold the women’s game to a higher standard or to just a different standard than the men is not a relevant point.
All the women who enter the open know the rules. In this case there were no men playing tennis. Just women. Serena was playing a women. The board hired an umpire and judges some were men and some were women. They are just employees getting thousands of dollars, not millions like Serena.
Serena was losing, and likely to lose the match. She has never beaten her opponent, who had beaten her. Serena and/or her employee (her coach) were caught cheating. He admitted to the cheating, she denied it. And she got a warning. Then she smashed her racket on the court. Breaking it, which caused a penalty. She then badgered the umpire, calling him names repeatedly. He only applied the rules from the women’s board of the US Open. The board then fined her for all three violations.
This is not a race thing or, a gender thing. Its a spoiled brat thing. America again, looks like the home of spoiled rich people who should be spanked. And then their parents should be spanked for raising such brats.
And the sad thing is, that half of America by some polls, agree with Serena. That half is morally and socially bankrupt. Serena is the multi-millionaire here. She was playing in a women’s tournament set up by women. She berated an employee. Accusing him of being a sexist for applying the rules to her. There were no men to apply the rules to. Just two women, one who was following the rules of the game and the rules of civility, and the other was Serena.
mostly, she is her father’s daughter
