“Just take your balls and leave.”
Why do they mention it’s a female umpire?
Curious about what exactly happened. Did he insult her with abusive language towards her as a woman?
Just wondering. When we see run ins with referees and umpires in other sports, they never say that so and so was a black referee, accosted by a white player; the subject never comes up. So wondering what her being a woman has to do with the story.
Maybe they’re all trying one-up McEnroe by surpassing his career fine tally?
Sexualizing it, yup.
All the media knows:
EVERYTHING is related to sex, race, age, whatever categorized stuff divided people into the type of categories that the liberal bureacratic/Hollywood mindset finds handy to make the wide world smaller and therefore more comprehensible, more manipulable.
That explains a lot.
sorry, but if this guy had been muzzie or black, he would not have been thrown out.
The narrative only works if he’s a honky.
The only way he’d have been more kick-outAble would have been if he’d have had really blonde hair, or something.
That’s the kick-out express.
Did the paper just assume the umpire’s gender? Is that still legal?
Flushed out of Flushing. Who does he think he is, MacEnroe
Hey, here’s a good place where you can call me a village idiot..!
I got her all tee’d up, and everything, for ya..!
The real Fabio would’ve gotten a pass.
If insults of a sexual nature were needed to kick these spoiled pompous asses out of a game so be it. The tournament managers should have started with Connors and McEnroe years ago.
I don’t recall Serena Williams getting kicked out for saying....
I will shove this ball down your gd throat.
You may be right, but that wasn’t what I meant.
“Hey, heres a good place where you can call me a village idiot..!”
I apologize for exaggerating. You’re not really that useful.
That was pretty good..!
Fognini with a light tomato sauce and pram cheese?
Oops,I thought this was a cooking thread.
1. McEnroe era....no “tolerance!” culture....not kicked out
2. Fabio era.. ...huge “tolerance!” culture...kicked out
I don’t get it.
The pattern to me seems to be as society discusses tolerance, the less likely they are to actually practice it.
So tolerance is actually sort of like a Pet Rock, something looked at but not used.
Or maybe tolerance is like fairies dancing on the head of a pin, a concept contemplated but never put into practice.
