I think that sometimes Americans don’t fully grasp how misogynist, racist, snobbish, dishonest and downright malicious some of our newspapers are.

“Frankly, smells more like Kate asserting her place in the hierarchy than Meghan being a bitch.”
It sounds like there are 2 toddlers in your house. My sympathies.
For anyone who questions why someone like Ford never went to the cops just read how this woman was treated by the police when she reported the rape. Apparently kissing = consent to everything and hiring a lawyer to protect yourself is frowned upon.
These aren’t any old foxes.
I get all that but she is still called Duchess Doolittle or whatever because of her work ethic which is separate from waity Kate. My point is while she was waiting/dating Prince William that should have been the time to focus on her life. Personally, I don’t think having your entire life revolving around one person or…
I mean... that’s 2 patronages. The queen has over 600. Kate is pretty roundly criticized in the UK for being lazy. We just don’t hear about it much over here because the immediate past editor and current weekend editor of the Daily Mail were once on the Middletons’ payroll as PR.
Stop making excuses for Catherine. She really hasn’t done much as a Royal and even before she got married. It seems like Catherine never really had goals except to perhaps married into the family. Countess of Wessex (Sophie) has kids as well, and has done more engagements then Catherine. Sophie is married to Prince…
Do you also remember when Mac was EJECTED from the Australian Open for his shenanigans? Cause I 'member.
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…
A third option is that Williams was intentionally ratcheting up the situation in a fruitless attempt to heighten her own level of play and intensity, and to intimidate her young opponent, because those things have worked in the past. They didn’t work yesterday.
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…
It was actually a legit call, at least as far I’ve understood from most analysis. With the first caution, it is irrelevant if Serena saw the sign from the coach or not, just that the coach did what he did. And the second is apparently a pretty rare action, but I haven’t seen that many arguments against it. And once…
My sense from reading various tennis-knowers this morning is the coaching violation really was a pretty ridiculous call, given the circumstances and what was being penalized. But also Serena definitely came unglued, possibly because she was getting pushed around by Osaka.
I may not have hit the nail on the head with my word choice here, I’ll admit, but I don’t think the article is balanced, it’s a puff job of Serena. She lost 6-2, 6-4, and this controversy happened in the second set. Wouldn’t it be more fair to say that Serena wasn’t feeling it today, wasn’t having her best match,…
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.
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.
She did not take it like a champ. Serena takes the majority of the blame for this fiasco. She’s the one who ruined Naomi’s victory with her behavior.
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.
