this piece feels like a reach. those tweets are pretty vanilla, but not offensive. and i, at least, do not seem them as infantilizing. more a tip of the hat to a veteran who lost bad. are you just looking for something to be angry about?

Sharopova has also been the number 1 seed in the world. The article was ages ago, it just stuck with me because that was what made me realize there was this oddness when discussing the Williams sisters, especially Serena.

And Maria has 5 GS titles, 5 other finals and has a career slam. That’s like shitting on Big Ben being a journeyman compared to Brady.

It is kind of weird, although I don’t think it applies to all of Williams sister fans, but I do think there is this weird mentality in the US coverage of tennis when it comes to them. For example, reading BBC coverage, while they were clearly, and not subtly, rooting for Konta and Murray, it never got to the level of…

Both articles portray Venus as the more talented player who was expected to win

What a condescending article from the website that incorrectly declared the loss an “upset” a couple hours ago.

For some reason people who are huge fans of the Williams sisters always have to tear down or throw in snide comments like that towards whoever they’re going up against.

I mean at one point I figured she said I have millions of dollars and I’m not really in the mood to grind this one back today so gg. That’s not frailty that’s just not fucking killing yourself so some people can comment on your life or your game. People pretend like athletes are always in the zone, and not deciding…

For one thing, what the hell else to the Mets have going on?

Murkowski was making noise like she might vote No despite the payoff.

That’s pretty much the long and short of it.

Goddamn it, what the hell is wrong with people?

My understanding is that the assumption is if you vote for it, the big donors will throw enough money at you that you’ll win through sheer dollars. Do the right thing and you lose your campaign funding. It’s just a horrible statement of the health of our democracy right now

Honestly when they postponed the first bill to after the July recess, I fully expected it to pass after they got back because they’d spend the recess twisting the arms of all the Republicans who were on the fence. The fact that they didn’t manage to, gives me hope. But I do expect that at some point, after several…

Ignoring the fact that Mayweather is also a racist saying about Manny Pacquiao
that he’d “cook that little yellow chump” and “make that mother f——- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice.” Oh, and he’s a habitual woman beater.

Come on, it’s just locker room talk.

But according to The Root, we’re supposed to be rooting for Mayweather because McGregor is a racist. What do we do now?
