Damn, that dress is glorious.

Surya Bonaly is a perfect example of this. Personally, I'm a hockey player so when I watch figure skating I love seeing that strength, which Surya personified so much. That's not to say that other figure skaters are not strong of course. But Surya caused some commotion for refusing to wear tights and wanted to show…
"Bulldog licking piss off a nettle" may be my new favorite description.
I am mystified that you could look at the Williams sisters and not see how beautiful they are.
I will never forget volunteering at the US Open when I was about 12 years old and being allowed in the stands to watch the Williams sisters play a match. They were new to the scene and SO awesome. All of a sudden my friend and I realized what the old lady behind us has been muttering: "monkeys, so disrespectful, look…
He didn't mean to offend anyone. He's just sorry that his remarks have garnered so much attention. You can quit making such a fuss. Why be so sensitive?
Yep, this is certainly a man's body. What a douchebag.
I can't even believe that little twit resorted to "it was a joke". I mean, it's not like you can expect much from someone willing to make comments like that, but... Shit. You'd think at the very least he'd have a PR person telling him to make his apology sound sincere. Fuck him.
I mean, these women are at the TOP of their game. They have athletic bodies because they are championship athletes. What fucking kills me is Serena in particular has ass and boobs for days and her body is nothing like a man's. If we were talking about male-type bodies, how about picking on someone like Jessica…
Meanwhile, Iggy is about to get 2494059403 articles about how those mean black people won't let her enjoy pretending to be a black woman.
Don't forget figure skating.
Um, where are the white women laughing over this? The consensus opinion is clearly that it's awful.
Oh look, another "black women look like men" comment. This is what we're talking about when we say that black women don't experience femininity the same way. Our bodies get coded male by default (which is actually super transmisogynisitc when you think about it, see: Joan Rivers' comment on MObama) and it's used as an…
Well, when your self esteem is based on feeling better than a certain group then of course you lose your mind when someone of that minority group challenges your false sense of superiority.
Let's see, filling out my "Shit that the Williams Sisters Have to Deal With" Bingo card.
Generally when Black women start dominating a "traditionally white sports" that's when they start talking about the lack of elegance, the lack of artistry, and how now it's all about strength and blablah.
"I didn't want to offend any athlete with my words. I regret that this joke has garnered so much attention. I don't think this incident deserves so much fuss."
I can't believe the crap these two cop. They are two of the world's best athletes, of any gender, in any sport, yet they dont get anywhere near the respect and recognition they deserve. Fuck this guy and his fauxpology.
"I didn't want to offend any athlete with my words. I regret that this joke has garnered so much attention. I don't think this incident deserves so much fuss."
Yes everyone, let's pass the cap around and collect a tear for the real victim of this racist, sexist attack, the perpetrator.
