Finally found an active video of Serena's roid rage, oops, I mean meltdown.
Someone please archive as I don't know how. This is historic and the spinmasters will try to sweet-talk it as the days go by.
I actually grew up watching them. I'm talking about historic as to Serena's reputation. She gets the glory, then you also have to own up to the misbehavior. This flies in the face of the image they push regarding Serena.
Macenroe (sic?), Connors were called bad boys. They didn't escape their scandals…the messy marriages or cocaine. Why should she dserve anything different?
Cheers. Was having trouble finding an active link.
McEnroe had the reputation as a jerk for a long time. His messy marriage was also tabloid fodder as was his alleged cocaine habbit. All I'm saying is treat everyone the same. To do otherwise, and not call her out because she's a black female athlete, is the lowest form of racism there is.
Filtered. How about suck a bag of dicks. Did I hurt your feelings you little pussy? Go cry to Serena.
Misbehavior? Yes, did you actually hear the announcers say they had never seen a third offense called before.
I guess when Serena threatened to jam a ball down a women chair's throat in a previous match, that was just shits and giggles too?
Fuck you pussy! Go back to HuffPost with your tears.
Shame the announcers. who I'm guessing know a bit more history of the sport than you, used the same fucking phrase.
Better to remain quiet than speak and show the world how fucking stupid you are.
Agreed. I'm tired of the cabal building up these fake celebrity heroes that are above reproach.
She once threatened a lady chairing a match with jamming a ball down her throat. She's juiced to the gills, or has an anger management problem, or both. Fuck me if I can't call out someone's innappropriate behaviour. It was a sad and classless display, regardless of whether the ref's call was off. Serena chose to berate the chair endlessly. Fuck her. She's probably got a Nike add waiting on the wings.
Agreed. Awful sportsMANlike conduct…and not his first time. He once threatened to cram a ball down the throat of the lady chairing another match.
Venus, his sister, is a class-act. My heart goes out to her because I think she was involved in a fatal car accident within the last year or two.
Without the farce known as Serena, I'm sure someone else, perhaps Sharapova or whomever, would be the natural first ranking player. I have my doubts about Serena…reminds me of Lance Armstrong.
I suggest they keep that urine sample on ice for a few years and let the testing catch up.
There is something off here. Fuck, maybe it's some weird gene therapy shit. Something. Either way, total classless. She'll get a Nike add out of it though.
"They always treat me unfairly here! Every year!"
Really, at the US Open? Where I have watched crowds give you standing ovatitions for years and where you have won multiple times? Give me a fucking break…she's a petulant child. Think she's really ready for her MMA debut in the Octagon!
Stuff happens sure. But classy people are called classy for a reason. What I watched wasn't classy nor respectful to the paying crowd, the chair or even her opponent, who has fought her whole life to get to this moment. And Sir Serena had put on her best Betty Davis routine. I'm all for competition and leaving it all on the field of battle, but not at the cost of basic decency.
