How long before it's Trump's fault? Serious people need to quit using the minority card everytime they don't get their way. It puts a dim light on real inequality.

Women outnumber men. So, how can women be minorities?

The referee should have deescalated the Argument, before it went that far.

"Comments from. Dr.Phil, when he was on the "TALK" yesterday.

Dr.Phil plays tennis himself Regularly and Knows the Rules.

funny, no one brought up Trump except people claiming someone would.

as to the match, She is still a Champion. I still dont get why players get penalties on behalf of the coach, seems if a coach does something, in a high stakes tournament, it should be the coach who is fined and penalized.


In a statement provided to PEOPLE, Katrina Adams, USTA Chairman of the Board and President, said, “What Serena did on the podium today showed a great deal of class and sportsmanship. This was Naomi’s moment, and Serena wanted her to be able to enjoy it. That was a class move from a true champion.”

The statement continued, “What Serena has accomplished this year in playing her way back on to the tour is truly amazing. She continues to inspire, because she continues to strive to be the best. She owns virtually every page of the record book, but she’s never been one to rest on her laurels. She’s always working to improve; always eager to embrace new challenges; and to set new standards. She is an inspiration to me, personally, and a credit to our sport, win or lose.”

“I know that she was frustrated about the way the match played out, but the way she stepped up after the final and gave full credit to Naomi for a match well-played speaks volumes about who she is,” Adams concluded.

in any case....I have no doubt (nor should anyone) that if
Serena Williams happened to be a white woman this thread would not exist..

she only talked to one white person, the head umpire..it was never about race, so you are probably wrong here...

she wasn't happy... But her coach was sending her hand signals, and she was penalized for it...that's when she blew up, saying she's not a cheater...

if you knew anything at all about the subject i might lend some credence
to your comment..if you understood the coaching rule and the widespread
use of coaching from the stands, the frequency of the infraction being called on a player/coach without at least being given a warning first,
and the unheard of practice of calling it in the finals of a grand slam tournament...i don't think it has ever happened before...

the sexism charge is because the men have admittedly done far more to
abuse umpires verbally i.e. "you blind f*king moron the ball was in"
without being assessed penalty points or game points...
Serena merely said "you're a thief and stole a game from me"...
a classic double standard applied in this incident...
