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.

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.

As someone who worked in a call center there's a difference between being mad and profanity and personal attacks. She totally deserved that 3rd code violation.  1st one is debateable.

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

Apparently the coach admitted signaling in a Eurosport interview?

No, Zach Smith is having THE public meltdown

Plus, Patrick takes the players’ salaries and describes that as the labor costs. There are many people working for the teams, not just the players. There are security, ushers, travel coordinators etc. For the NBA, these costs are likely negligible, but for the WNBA, it is a larger percentage of the income. Add in the

I know this isn’t going to go well but is it possible that they only receive 20% of revenue because the WNBA as a whole is NOT as profitable as the NBA? They have to pull less revenue because the cost of running the league is equal to the NBA but the revenue is not equal to the NBA?  I could be mistaken but last time

Yeah, he overdid it a bit.  All I can ask for (38-7) is that he keeps the same enthusiasm (38-7) for when his Vikings (38-7) come up shortly (38-7).

This seems silly as hell. We have no idea what the context was and holy shit with the revelations and steps forward that we’ve taken in regards to sexual abuse/grooming, we are really gonna do this? Drag Sam Smith for saying “I don’t like Michael Jackson but this is a good song”???

Maybe the stand-in was hired because he resembles the actor he’s standing in for?

IT’S NOT BLACKFACE. Blackface is something used to mock. This kid will never be seen on the screen. This is a perfectly normal case where the stand-in needed make-up to match the actor’s skin tone. Look people, proper stage lighting is different for light and dark skin. That’s not racism, that’s just physics. And

The explanation makes perfect sense. Who gives a shit? 

Title: Seth Rogen put a presumably white child actor in blackface, presumably for “comedy”.

Yeah, sorry, the way it’s described (rather than the headline) shows it to be a non-issue.  Slow news day?

I think we might have just found the biggest non story in human history.

some dipshiat in marketing really screwed the pooch this time.

I mean, this definitely sucks and I have no problem with making sure allergens are properly listed, but:
