Serena Williams - A DISGRACE TO THE SPORT
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 8:19 am
AND THIS TRASH WOMAN WHO ALWAYS PLACE A CERTAIN CARD IS CONSIDERED AN IDOL AND GOAT?...
Look, these are the simple facts:
Yes, tennis coaches coach from the stands and break the rules, but usually this is only verbal encouragement — Serena’s coach gave hand signals on how to specifically adjust her game — the hand signal was to play closer to the net because Osaka was destroying her on baseline rallies. This would be a pretty huge adjustment in strategy. Even if Serena never sees the hand signal, the signal itself is a violation. She should blame her coach instead. The coach 100% deserved a warning.
Serena then slammed her racket in frustration which is violation #2, and a loss of a point. She has been playing the US Open for 18 years — if she doesn’t know by now a coaching violation means a racket slam is two violations, not one, then she simply failed to prepare for her job. Serena 100% deserved to lose a point.
Serena verbally berated the chair umpire in front of the whole stadium, and she vehemently argued for something she was wrong about, since her point loss was justified. She had a very violent tone when she demanded an apology from the chair umpire, wagged her finger like a bully, and then started to insult his character by calling him a thief, liar, and a sexist, and also said she will use her power to make sure he never umps another match of hers again. Serena 100% deserved to lose an entire game.
4. Serena then made a complete joke out of “Women’s Rights” by, once again, arguing something she was completely wrong about. Men players do get violations for cursing or yelling at the chair umpire. All the time. But here is the thing — they usually cease after their first official violation (a warning only), so they don’t end up forfeiting points or games. She was already on two violations and did not correct her behavior like most players do (men and women both). Cursing or yelling at the chair umpire is a single violation, same as getting coaching from the stands or slamming the racket. To make it an issue of sexism is petty, insecure, and ignorant and she made it seem like men players get away with bullying umpires, which is not the case. Also, as someone pointed out in the comments, Serena then tried to use her daughter as a moral shield, playing the Mommy Card — this insane logic that since I have daughter I am by default innocent is the last refuge of an Entitled Brat.
5. This is a woman who at the 2009 US Open threatened to kill a line-judge over making the correct call, physically intimidating the much smaller woman with her racket. She should be grateful they still let her play the tournament.
“I swear to God I’ll take the f—king ball and shove it down your f—king throat.”
~ Serena “Woe Is Me” Williams, after she stepped on the line during her serve, which is an illegal move
And then we have the 2011 US Open — more bullying of a chair umpire by calling her a loser and ugly on the inside, with another threat of violence if the umpire dared to look in her direction, after she deservedly got a violation for screaming at her opponent — in all three US Opens she clearly made violations, and then wanted a free pass:

Is the average person really that stupid??
