Exactly. Discipline should teach kids about natural consequences - kid can't get his homework done, he loses TV privileges until he gets his priorities straight. Teenager keeps missing curfew, she can't go out until she proves she's trustworthy. Toddler throwing toys gets them taken away from him. Kids should learn…

So the crowd didn't like the one sister defaulting to the other and showed that displeasure by screaming racist slurs at them and their family? Hmm, sure that's it.

After reading that, my opinion changes not at all. What were you hoping it would show people?

Burn 'em the fuck down, Serena!

I would encourage anyone to look up the match on youtube (in three parts) ("Indian Wells final 2001") and watch first-hand the booing as Venus and her dad walk to their seats, the booing of Serena, the continuous cheering at lost points, and the booing as Serena wins match point, and the booing as accepts the winner's…

Your argument is incomplete. By IW 2001 they had already played each other professionally 5 times, including Wimbledon semi-final; playing each other wasn't a problem for them or their father. Also, Venus withdrew hours before the match, but match officials decided to announce it only four minutes before the match. An…

I've been searching Deadspin all damn day for this article. Thank you! At least Jez is covering Serena, who's just, you know, one of the best and most dominant athletes in the world right now. Would be super appropriate for a sports blog to cover. I guess not.

Pre-internet, racists at sporting events could get away with a lot. People like to pretend, but sports fans are some of the most racist ignorant fucks in all the world. We haven't even touched on soccer yet either...

This cant be true because conservative america tells us that racism ended in 1969 thanks to republicans in congress. All other "racism" since then has actually been the fault of liberals playing the race card. America is a fair and just country, if you experience racism it's likely because you caused it yourself, or…

I love it when people try to defend their ignorant positions. There is no way in the era we live in, that a person can justify racial slurs. It is just that straightforward.

The word "dayum!" comes to mind, and that's not even my dialect. And yet, it comes to mind.

Interesting.

Serena's never shied away from the fact that she cares about fashion and is proud of her look. Nothing wrong with pointing out when she looks particularly great.

It is with that love in mind, and a new understanding of the true meaning of forgiveness, that I will proudly return to Indian Wells in 2015

Serena was emotionally savaged from the moment she stepped on the court and after dropping the first set she smashed Kim Cljisters 6-4, 6-2 so...

Last week, after Serena won the Australian Open (her 19th slam), I posted a link to an article on FB. The number of public, thinly veiled racist comments it received ("she's using PEDs - look at those muscles"; "she has no class") was staggering.

Say "word"; and then say it again! Williams is the greatest of all time in my opinion. She is inarguably one of the greatest, no doubt about it.

C-Walk all over 'em Serena

Go get em Gurl! You were raised to hold your head high no matter what they say to you. You are above it. Above them. Walk strong and kick ass!
