Serena Williams cries sexism

[MacAdder]

Has there ever been a 2 page thread about a white male tennis player losing his temper on here?

There certainly would have been if we had messageboards when John McEnroe was playing.

Tim Henman too!

Fellow tennis professionals?

Martina the great don't,she not shown dignity, and instead of apologising for her outburst drags sexism in and her children thinking she's a cheat ,lady lacks class.
If you watch the full incident there are periods of silence from the umpire allowing her to cease the moment ,breath , and calm herself .

Indeed , as they are well paid individuals ,
and I can clearly remeber his behaviour being questioned and being called a spolit brat over all the media for days ,this board with its anti American stance ,would have had a right rant .

Would the men on here have been making derogatory comments about his physique? Oh and by the way McEnroe apparently never received a game penalty.

I'm almost certain that isn't true, he was even disqualified from a match in Australia.

Why are men such sexist Pigs?

That statement in itself is sexist, surely. It would be like me saying "why are women such whiney bitches?".

Maybe try not to generalise an entire group of people if you're trying to make an argument in relation to equality in the future.

OK I’ll rephrase. Why are the majority of men sexist pigs

I don't think many are really. I think most actually think twice about saying almost anything in the presence of women they aren't close to whereas the older ladies in my office often openly discuss colleagues or visitors looks. Doesn't offend me but if it was myself and an older guy doing it we would be sexist pigs.

Switch the tennis match around to a male player berating a female umpire in the way Serena did and the headlines would still be about sexism only the victim would be the umpire.

I think the biggest compliment you could pay her would be to critisize her behaviour and say she should have taken her punishment like a man.

She'd never have got away with this behavour in Russia.

This is what happens when you let women play sports.

Guardian piece on Serena is pretty balanced although I have no idea why Pellegrini is getting involved :)

If you’re going to alter my post at least put the word you added in bold or put my unedited quote first.

Bloody awful WomMAN.

Makes me laugh , banging on about her kids thinking shes a cheat , well she said it loud enough to bring it to their attention

Then moved it to sexism

Phew we escaped the racism one I guess .

Dislike them both , they are not normally built women, and its been an unfair contest for a while in my humble view

Poor winner

This seems completely at odds with the sanctimonious rubbish you post on the politics forum.

If someone told me this ^^ statement was posted by Donald Trump on his twitter account I wouldn’t question it’s authenticity.

That’s got to be worrying for you.

To be fair he's a billionaire leader of the worlds largest economy. What he says can't all be wrong.

A man who is a greedy, offensive bully might be appealing to people who also identify with those traits. It doesn’t mean it’s ok to talk about people’s mothers, wives, sisters and daughters like they are cattle.
