“Mind-boggling” is definitely the right word. I just don’t know how such a thing is even possible.

I’ve been a Serena fan for awhile, and I’ve never seen or heard so many people stan for her like they did this tournament. I feel a lump in my throat not just for the fact she lost, but also for the millions of people—tennis fans, fans of sport in general, who were excited to possibly witness greatness—who don’t get…

Just gonna chime in here as a Ravens fan.

YO haha, excellent

Champs

* Vinci is Serena’s SF opponent, btw. My bad! Got my Italian quarterfinalists confused.

I actually really kind of love the personal touch some broadcasts do of just naming them “Venus” and “Serena” in the bottom-left score box (though in recent years they’ve gotten away from it and gone to “S. Williams” and “V. Williams”).

Great summation! And if may I humbly add to your FYI:

Venus played a spectacular match; while I was hoping Serena would win (so the CYGS could still happen), I’m glad Venus came for blood. That’s what she had to do, and it’s a real testament to her dignity and mental strength that she was COMPLETELY willing to derail her baby sister’s quest. Venus spanked Serena…

Venus is a professional athlete with a disorder that literally saps your physical strength. And she is the 22nd-best woman in the world out of 3.5 billion women at playing tennis—a hair’s breadth outside the Top 20 five years from 40. It’s stunning.

they dropped their father like a dead ratbecause he kept pressuring them and setting their matches.

although Serena has kept up her habit of just fucking around for one set, as she has all year long

Also, fuck Joe Flacco.

why we all hate you

As I said already (reading comprehension much?), I find this exchange amusing. Your ignorance is a welcome distraction.

Dude, are you like 12 years old? People can do whatever they want whenever they want to—they don’t have to be “first” at it. Christ, you’re dumb.

You say that like 1) it matters and 2) we care, which is just so, so amusing.

Yes, I’m butthurt about my team being perennially competitive, usually in the playoffs, and twice a Super Bowl winner, both times in my lifetime, lmfao.
