Current Events > Why is AMERICA defending Serena Williams?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Patriotic stuff aside, she did wrong and needs to be suspended

The world is laughing and watching

Because she's standing up for women's rights
---

Seems to be only a portion of America is defending her. The rest are calling a spade a spade, that being she's a butthurt sore loser.

She still got outplayed by a 20-year old.

Women are so oppressed in the United States of America.

PSA her coach literally admitted to coaching

https://nypost.com/2018/09/08/patrick-mouratoglou-i-was-coaching-serena-during-match/

So she said she's a mother and a woman who literally never cheats but less than 24 hours later the guy says they were cheating. And her defense is "everyone does it."

this story needs to die now
---

she's a mother she can't do anything wrong
---

Yeah I agree she done fucked up. It's not a race or a sex thing. This is what happens when you think you're the best and lose a sense of modesty.
---

I'll be glad when it's over and people can stop pretending they care about tennis

The term originates from the mistaken nomenclature of calling a spade a shovel and vice versa. They are two different tools with two different uses and construction.The original meaning has absolutely nothing to do with racism agains black people, or any people of any kind.

just because the coach said those were his intentions of his signals does not mean Serena was receiving them and or acting upon them.

The vast majority of people are siding against her.

She clearly thought she would scream sexism and racism and everybody would rush in to get her back.

like everybody is siding against her. I couldnt imagine being in such a humiliating situation.

because to her it's more than just a sport. you really think she's throwing a "tantrum" because she was losing? she has 21 finals wins. just a few weeks ago the french banned a piece of her clothing for being too revealing. it was for blood clots she experienced after pregnancy.

it's goes beyond the game.

she may have warranted those offenses, and yeah you can say "rules are rules".

but these rules are not consistently called across the genders of the sports. I've seen male tennis players curse refs out repeatedly without so much as a warning. She called him a "thief" and it cost her any sort of a chance of a comeback. In the US Open Finals. Really?

If you really think she's salty about losing I'd suggest you watch the aftermath. Any interaction with her opponent is genuine and Serena actually looks happy for her. Her issue is with the sport as a whole.

because she's a black woman it's, "overdramatic, raging, spoiled, entitled, poor sport". But when it's someone like McEnroe it's "passion for the game".

also here's the full quote since we're apparently gonna use the coach's words as an end-all for this topic

"I'm honest, I was coaching. I don't think she looked at me so that's why she didn't even think I was," he told ESPN."

http://www.sportingnews.com/ca/tennis/news/patrick-mouratoglou-serena-williams-coaching-us-open-final/uu0mars28xk61dkz9jkmnpk4p

It's not Serena's fault and she shouldn't have been punished for it.
And for those of you questioning this, why doesn't tennis force the coach to sit out of view of the player if it's so strictly against the rules.

Because it honestly is not. And it actually does happen all the time. And Tennis hardly enforces this rule. So to be called in a US Open Final is pretty ridiculous.

Most of the people arguing against Serena have probably never watched more than a handful of tennis games (both genders) in their lives.

It was amazing how fucking hysterical she became after the point penalties, like move on and focus on the match and get those points back.

I think the unpire was out of line for the game penalty though, given the high profile match.

Rubbish. McEnroe was punished plenty of times for his violations.

Dawi shilling like the pound.

because the anti racists are so deep seated in their own racism

Men are penalized more frequently than women so if anything women ARENT penalized as harshly. You're just talking out of your ass

I thought The Last Jedi was standing up for womans rights!?

She acted like a complete idiot arrogant ass. The end.

By getting her ass beat and throwing a tantrum?

I'm so confused about why this is dragging on like it is. We talked about Travis Kelce's outbursts over the years and we still get over after awhile. Serena is getting topic after topic, and on the news every night. Get over it lol.

yup because obviously you know more than the countless active players and analysts that have been talking about it nonstop since it's happened.

i mean do i have to spell out every modern male player? bringing up mcenroe was more of a "look at how long this has been occurring" kind of thing.

but i guess expecting your average gfaqs poster to connect some dots is asking a little too much.

btw the head of the USTA agrees that female players are governed differently than male players

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/serena-williams-us-open-loss-usta-ceo-katrina-adams-men-women-held-to-different-standards/

and yes, she states that Serena could have handled it differently. That's universally agreed upon. But the issues are still present. And if this is what it takes for there to be some change, why the fuck not?

but yeah, she's totally a crybaby drama queen who brought up sexism because she was losing.

so he was just signaling to no one? he saw she wasnt looking and kept doing it for no reason?

America isnt. SJWs are. And theyre doing it to virtue signal.

Would be amazing if she never played again and sacrificed it all like Kaepernick just do it lol

A lot of females and black people are against her. I don't know what you're talking about. Why do people think the vocal minority represents everyone?

guessing cause the vocal minority keeps being let to speak for groups giving the groups bad names, though to mass ignore them would most likely be a good start
