You remember that Sunday morning, two months after dad left, you wake up and notice mom’s hair is seriously mussed, and then you walk into the kitchen and dad is making eggs like the past eight weeks never happened . . .

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.

I agree with each of your points. I watched the whole match. Serena was getting her ass kicked, and trying everything she could to rattle Osaka. She couldn’t do it. Then Serena lost it. She screamed at the ump, what, three different times?

THIS. Serena has also had a history of...questionable... conduct when she’s been losing.

“But I saw a man do this at some point in history and not get penalized, so this is a CLEAR case of sexism, even though I’ve also seen men penalized for the same thing.”-Serena fans.

The umpire was right on all three of those calls. It sounds like Williams thought the “coaching” warning was rescinded because she told the umpire she’s not a cheater, but of course that’s not how that penalty works. The call is made against the coach (who admitted he was coaching from the stands), so the player can’t…

It’s amazing to me that people come away with that feeling sorry for Serena. That was such an embarrassing performance. Much credit to Osaka, she’s a true champion and I hope she comes back.

Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.

Not out of line. Serena’s coach admitted to Pam Shriver that he was trying to coach Serena. Everyone, including Serena, knows how penalties are given out. Maybe it’s her coach’s fault for trying to signal to her, but she was responsible for her own behavior after that.

I mean, her opponent is a woman as well, yeah? Did she start to play the race card and wisely change up in mid stream? Bizarre.

First warning to Serena for coaching. Her own coach admitted to Pam Shriver after the match that he had indeed tried to coach her. The gesture was meant for her to approach the net more often. He thought she hadn’t noticed it, but still, it’s the attempt that matters. Players have been using this excuse (“I didn’t…

This article is terrible.

This was so hard to watch. I hope Naomi Osaka knows she would have won this match on her own if all of this shit hadn’t happened.

I think it may have been one of those “hold for 10 seconds” doors and they didn’t bother to read it. 

She’s got the figure for them, which is surprising given the drug habit I assume she has  

Marchand’s using his tongue, but the refs are using their gargantuan cocks to fuck the bruins.

He should have stuck with fencing.

Man, motherfuck baseball, sometimes.

Huh, I had no idea what Leitch's voice sounded like.
