In most sports you get tossed out if you accuse a referee of intentionally rigging the match. If a soccer player gets a yellow for yapping at the ref and still carries on, it’s a red card and that’s it. Hockey players get a quick 10 minute penalty.

The first claim is reasonable.  The second is just factually incorrect.  Mens players are penalized for similar behavior consistently.  Your head has to be buried deep in Serena’s ass to not understand this. 

Chris why does this site treat Serena with kid gloves? Similar articles of tennis players melting down and making theatrical verbal tirades against the chair officials are met by scorning the player.

Wherever you happen to fall on Serena’s behavior Saturday night—for what it’s worth I’m probably somewhere between Jenkins and Levin—surely we can all agree that the umpire failed miserably

No, as you summed it up:

Serena stans are the worst stans.

source? check out tennis-focused threads. this ump is known to be thin skinned with men too. there’s a video of him taking points from djoker making the rounds. plus, i’m a pretty big tennis fan — and a big Williams sisters fan — and i’ve never once seen an outburst like this in a grand slam final. the coaching…

this same official has given code violations to several of the top men.  difference is they didn’t berate him for 20 minutes following

I think a lot of people weighing in don’t watch very much tennis. Penalties, regardless of the infraction, in tennis escalate:

“Wherever you happen to fall on Serena’s behavior Saturday night, I’m sure you agree with me that this is the umpire’s fault.”

Because Deadspin wanted her to win. That’s really it.

I follow this pretty closely too and the coaching call was out of the norm.

If you were watching you saw Serena actually thank Ramos for hearing her out after the first warning. At that point she had moved ahead in the 2nd set. But after having her serve broken and falling behind again she smashed her racket and started up again with Ramos. In every sport there are penalties for this type of…

The Eagles have an outstanding defensive line, and they didn’t allow a point in the final two minutes at all last season—a trend that continued into last night.

Kozel in Czech is also slang for BEWBS so there's that.

But every beer in the Czech Republic is “cheap” for various economic reasons. I took a tour of the original Budweiser brewery in Ceske Budjovice (in the US it’s sold as Czechvar) and the tour guide was like “part of my salary is 3 cases of beer a month.”

Though it hard to find a low quality Czech beer. Of course a lot…

I’m not even sure it’s possible to get bad beer in the Czech Republic. I went to Prague several years ago with two friends and neither one of them were beer drinkers. One was (and remains) a whiskey snob, the other would drink wine or cocktails that don’t taste like alcohol (a Long Island was his go-to bar order at…

The Patriots were called for exactly one penalty in the Super Bowl, for a whopping 5 yards, yet people think the refs were on the Eagles’ side. Fucking hilarious.

i feel like you can’t read very well.

i literally said even numbered interstates go east/west, but good on you for lett me know it ends in the pacific north west, which is quite literally west.
