Too bad her father never taught her respect for the flag..

[ewing]

Richard Williams lack of parenting bump-she doesn't know any better.

mountain out of mole hill.

[mewzilla]

Maybe so, but it's still pretty classless.

Their dad is entirely greedy and selfish; he wouldn't think of the flag, only of his own wants and desires. Not only is he working his daughters to fix his position in the ATP tour, he has total disregard for the Country in which he lives. Oh wait, they are African Americans, I forgot. So maybe America is not a concern after all.

Give me a friggin break guys!!! She's sitting in front of the flag!! The photographer's job is to position her.

Geeze Louise!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

The U.S. Flag being walked on over the ground is a molehill to you? Where does it stop?

[ewing]

Richard Williams was the absolute worst at Wimbledon, I have never seen worse behaviour.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

And ewings point was that if she was taught, or knew, about the Flag, she would never had agreed to sit on it. Unless of course she got paid a bunch of money to. Then, hell, why not flush the damn thing down the toilet if the price is right.

So? We are the believe that this young lady placed those flags there then sat down? C'mon! This was obviously a "photo op" setup by someone ans THEY didn't know how to handle the flag properly.

Drudge is so shrill sometimes.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I think your comment or insight into this was correct, based on Mr Williams' past behaviour.

[ewing]

Even if the clueless photog tells her to, you dont sit on our flag

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Umm...what if that was Hillarys fat ass sitting on it?

[cynicom]

Well so much for respect for the flag. The apologists will be here lauding her tennis game. free pass.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

you dont sit on our flag

THAT is the point, IMO. But then Drudge will be doing things to get hits. This will likely go unnoticed in the mainstream media.

[zarf]

She's a kid who just won a championship. She's giddy and proud and she's being photographed with the US and Aussie flags....get over it.

[KantianBurke]

oooooook. For those of us WITH skin that has a density above 1/1000th of an inch its an honest mistake. Keep in mind she's being photographed with the flag. If she were standing on top of it that would be a different story. For me this is a non issue.

[ewing]

Serena was just told what to do, I suspect Richard Williams was sitting behind the camera smiling as well..

[robertpaulsen]

Her only excuse is if she were walking along the path with her trophy, tripped, and fell on the flags. The photo was taken as she was trying to get back up.

If she purposely placed her fat a$$ on the symbol of our country for a photo op, she ought to be ashamed.

[ChadGore]

Oh come on, this is silly.
