Yup.Didn’t want to start a new thread-
But Serena Williams last night-
Disgusting, taking away a 20 year old kids moment winning her first grand slam, she’s booed by the crowd yet done nothing wrong & Williams coach later admitted to coaching her when she was penalised!
She deserves a ban and owes Osaka and the umpire a massive apology!!
She's too famous an institution and too admired for that.Poor kid. Should ban Williams.
What a twat, she's now trying to make out it's about women's rights. If that fails she might as well try the race card
The girl who won is forgotten about.
Oh people will because of who she isWta came out on her side
So more WTA than WTF then.Sorry it was the American Tennis federation not wta

Typical Americans though, cultureless and classless buffoons at times. Glad the Japanese kid won.Yup.
Can't believe how many people are sticking up for Williams. She may have done nothing wrong herself as such, but it was HER coach and if she should be angry with anyone it should be him.
Whatever went on there is no excuse for abusing an official like that and it's disappointing that the a lot of the crowd were on her side.
Now awaiting a surge of copycat behaviour from junior tennis players.
You watch your heroes and heroines behave like that and be applauded for it, you can expect copycat behaviour from your kids.
I do agree of course that men and women should be treated identically in these situations, but it is quite saddening to see the likes of Billie-Jean King only praising Williams and focusing on nothing else.
Well, yes, but it's a shame the penalty was given to her by a liar, thief and a cheat.Its hardly news to anyone that watches any sport that officiating is inconsistent so the fact that can find instances of male players not getting punished means nothing. You can also find instances of women not getting punished and men getting point or game penalties.
Murray got a point penalty at Wimbledon a few years back, going further back I remember Lendal getting a game penalty. Sure there's plenty more example but like most Brits tennis barely registers unless its Wimbledon.
Clear to me. Coaching from the stands, which her coach has admitted, was her first code violation and got her a warning, smashing her racquet was the second and a point penalty, going off at the umpire the third and a game penalty. She's got exactly the punishment the rules say she should.

Some are saying they whitewashed the Japanese player.
Now folks are outraged by this cartoon being racist and/or sexist?
For me it's just a caricature that's taking the piss out of her behaviour.
Thoughts?
I don't think it's racist, just to make it clear!What on earth makes it racist? Its just a satirical depiction of events.
