May 23: Venus Williams was back on the courts for the French Open in Paris this weekend, playing against Switzerland's Patty Schnyder.

But let's face it, not a single person was focusing on their game, because Venus was, to put it lightly, letting it all hang out.

Sure, she had on shorts under her, uh, tennis teddy, but they were the same color of her flesh, no doubt making everyone think to themselves, "Um, did I just see Venus' butt cheeks?"

In her case....

A banana hammock.

“I was looking for you, Venus, and I saw Uranus.”

(BTW, you’d need to be seriously into FBGs to find that attractive.)

[Palladin]

I never wanted to see Godzilla’s butt cheeks.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

This yet furthers my view of late that women should not be involved in athletic pursuits.

Tell that to Saracudda.

several of the other pictures in the slide show reveal that she is wearing tight shorts about 2 shades lighter than her skin. Young ladies wear a lot less at the beach and the pool.

Is this what they mean by Love 40?

>>>>You didn’t know Venus had a moon?

Asstronomy pic of the day - Venus’ Moon. :)

Tasteless. Not surprised.

Keep your underwear in the bedroom, girl.

[I still care]

My word, that’s totally skeevy.

In a sane world, she would not be allowed to play. I guess she has no respect for the spectators.

[Cyman]

For some reason the old saying about putting lipstick on a pig comes to mind.

[paddles]

She got an a$$ like a 90 dollar mule.

[353FMG]

That’s why it’s called the FRENCH Open.

[Cvengr]

Much more tasteful in this outfit from January.

[altura]

Not a good look for Venus. Maybe we should chip in and buy her a mirror.

She’s way too masculine looking for that kind of outfit, which would be tasteless on anyone.

Modest tennis whites, that’s the way to go girl.

This summer I’m working with several basketball teams that will eventually go to international competitions. The kids (boys and girls) are better because of the competition. The sport gives these kids focus, discipline and something to shoot for. But, it’s a TEAM sport.

Individual sports have a different mental angle. No team would tolerate a loudmouth like John McEnroe.

Bettina Bunge was wearing shorter outfits 30 years ago.

[melancholy]

Modest tennis whites, that’s the way to go girl.

Don't say "whites," or call her "girl," that's racist!

[Lee'sGhost]

Yeah....but I really didn’t want to see it.

"Young ladies wear a lot less at the beach and the pool."

But they aren't built like a man. And this isn't the beach or the pool, either. It's a tennis court where white is the norm, not dressing like a 2-bit streetwalker.
