If any of you watch tennis - look at the news. Incredible. #1 guy kicked out of the tournament.

I must be doing something right. They’re in the fourth round of the U.S. Open, and I didn’t even know the tournament was going on.

Why was the #1 guy in tennis kicked out?

I looked it up. He was kicked out for injury to a line judge. Hit her in the throat with a ball and not during play. These guys lose it and cause serious injuries to judges with their tantrums. I’m glad he’s gone

That's amazing!

McEnroe was famous for cussing out the chair judge and throwing (or smashing) his racquet when he was po'd. I never heard of a player firing a ball at a judge.

USTA says it was unintentional.

Their credibility is in question, though, since they hung a big BLM flag in a prominent corner of the stadium for all to see.

Tennis and politics shouldn't mix.
