Serena Williams lost and can’t accept it. Blames umpire for sexism. Typical liberal bullshit.
Perhaps you can provide an example of when a male player was punished for a similar incident.
You mean like this
less severe incident?
Actually, don't click that. It would be on you to provide examples of similar conduct where men
weren't punished. But even then, it would be fairly irrelevant, at best. The entire tournament the chair upires had been pretty stern with all players about their on court conduct. The game has become full of theatrics in recent years that have led to increasingly lax conduct standards. This has become a problem and tournaments are starting to reassert expectations of good conduct.
The whole idea is nonsense. Serena was losing, and losing badly. She knew she was struggling and she lost her cool. She wanted to win so badly that she couldn't bare the realization that she was going to lose. She's done this before. Her history of abusing umpires nearly got her suspended from the tour several years ago. Not only that, but she was basically given a pass for violating her probationary terms two years later when she once again was penalized and then threatened the umpire.
This is classic Serena Williams. She has a long history of losing her temper when she's losing, acting inappropriately, and then blaming everyone else while refusing to take responsibility for herself.
I feel really bad for Naomi Osaka. This should have been the happiest moment of her life. Lots of young tennis players dream of one day playing their idol, and many of them eventually get the chance. Lots of young tennis players dream of one day winning a Grand Slam, and many of them get the chance. But Osaka had a fairy tale fall into her lap. Finally, she had the chance to play her idol, and on top of that it was her first Grand Slam final, and to make it
even better it was her favorite Grand Slam event, where she attended as a child, watching as she daydreamed. Annnnnd....she won. This should have been the happiest moment of her life, as her. But it was shattered because her own idol was a selfish kuunt with a bad attitude.
