Just to point out that McEnroe got loads of penalty points during his career, referees were called in etc etc ... and he was a white male

"Meltdown" give me a break that was some tame ass ****

[Captain.Remy]

I watched it live last night and I was starstruck. I think it's a miscommunication issue. TO him she got coaching, to her she didn't see anything. And then it went wild and she felt attacked in her character. Sometimes it shows even the biggest champions crack under the pressure. It all went very far, and she will learn her lesson.

I felt really bad for Naomi who is very shy in the first place. She played a stellar game and had to apologize for it, and that makes me mad. No one deserves to feel like this on any victory in their career. But I felt like Serena tried her best to make it right in the end to shift the spotlight to Naomi. And they had kind words for each other in press conferences.
But still, Naomi couldn't live it fully, she stood there sad and really emotional even though the boos were not for her. Hopefully she gets more grand slam victories to enjoy completely.

She was justified in her actions tbh. Like, I understand why she was angry and from what I've read, the ref wasnt being fair.

This + her not being allowed to wear that outfit for medical reasons smells like institutional bias to me

Totally agree Serena has had to put up with so much **** from them as well as from the media. They are desperate to find some way of discrediting her.

She has no right to say that.

JUSTICE

Barely a meltdown she's just very passionate didn't seem at all out of control. Serena has lost before so this "oh she's just a bad loser" angle just isn't gonna stick with me.

Wrong Smashing the Racket
Getting her Evil Finger pointing at the Official
Its feck all to do with being Black
or being a women.
Calling in him a "thief"

That official
is always on the ball.

She Failed

she was losing to a kid, her time at the top is over, she was being illegally coached - she called the umpire a thief and a liar


horrible woman and righty vilified and fined for her disgusting tantrum and bad sportsmanship

[Daniel-X]

I just put meltdown because that’s what the media were calling it! Stop attacking me!

[armand.kay]

Sorry you really can't convince me that drawring is intended to be the same woman

I don't think much effort/focus was put into actually drawing a cartoon of the umpire or Naomi. Just on the Serena drawing as she is the focus of the caricature. Much like the Donald Trump ones.

URGH our Kelechi was stunning on BBC breakfast this morning

[armand.kay]

Are you saying that black women shouldnt be alound to be passionat or angry about something because of the stereotype. Why can white men get heated and break their rackets without it reflecting badly on the entire group? Athleats getting angry during a game is nothing new, its unfair that serena is being portayed as a monster for losing her rag.
