“As much negative news there has been about the police of late, just think of life without them the next time you need one.”
You get that this is an insane thing to say, right? It sets the lowest possible bar for police behavior. If a firefighter comes to your house to stop a grease fire in the kitchen, then steals…

Thank you for reminding me why I stopped commenting on this site

No one really cares what cops want to do, they care about what cops actually do.

“Serena is subjected to more drug tests than any other athlete in professional tennis “

This act was petty and stupid on Cuomo’s part, since there was no way the ultra conservative Orthodox community was ever going to vote for Nixon. He must be really scared of her to do something so venal and obvious.

Probably because you don’t understand the rules of sexism. If you actually were a woman and didn’t fire off the handle about things you know so little about.

Your words make no sense. How was the umpire racist? Or sexist? The rules apply to everyone and there is no evidence they are applied selectively, despite William s claims. And even if they were this would not hurt a female poc in a match with a female poc. Hurt one, you help the other. It's a zero sum game.

Why is this an issue? If she was white and the same thing happened would anyone care?

If you watch tennis you will have seen men get code violations for coaching, racket abuse and abusing the umpire. You won’t have noticed because the player (unusually) accepts it and doesn’t double down by committing another violation, then another, then try and wrap themselves in the flag of oppression.

Jesus this is embarrassing. Day 2 of this and you guys are still buying that Serena was the victim here? I’m a big fan of Serena, but she has not been wronged here at all. The first code violation was for coaching - her coach admitted he did it and the cameras caught him doing it. No it’s not called all the time, but…

Racist sexist judge favours woman of colour over woman of colour. Come off it.

Hmmmm, let’s see what the same umpire called in a French Open match with Novak Djokovic last year:

You realize the guy most famous for tirades in the sport forfeited multiple matches because he wouldn’t shutup and just accrued penalty after penalty until it literally cost him the match, right?

Does John McEnroe being defaulted from a major count?

Yes, it only takes a quick google search to find  the footage. I guess enforcing the rules is now on the ever growing list of “racist” ideas. 

Probably because you don’t understand the rules of tennis. I’ve seen that ref do much the same thing to male players and you’d have seen it too if you actually watched tennis and didn’t just fire off the handle about things you know little about.

McEnroe should have been kicked out of games but it was ok because he was a man. She had passion. She is being treated differently.

Can you just admit the umpire may have been at fault here?

You’re too good at sarcasm. Please stick a /s on the end of subsequent posts so people realize you are kidding.

So you think the rules of tennis should be re-evaluated and potentially changed for *every* player on tour because Serena Williams, as a black woman, cannot control her emotions due to emotive black culture (not my claim, it’s yours)... So she should be able to smash her racket? And that otherwise it’s racist/sexist…
