‘Fighting Sexism’ Is A Preposterous Cover For Serena Williams’ Entitled Tantrum

---SNIP---
If Serena wants to turn a tennis match into WrestleMania, more power to her. The real issue came when Serena went to the podium after losing the match and proclaimed her Tasmanian devil meltdown was her “fighting for women’s rights.” She wasn’t fighting for anything except her right to be a jerk.

Serena has a loving husband and newborn baby. Although she grew up in notoriously rough Compton, California, she rose to the highest levels of athletic achievement and is now worth $180 million. She is the wealthiest female athlete in the history of the world. Her face is on billboards and television commercial

The moral of the story is that just about any type of rude behavior can be excused if you hide it behind social justice. (I hope Mr. Kelly is prepared for the lynch mobs.)

This article is about far, far more than Serena Williams and the most honest depiction of victimhood in America. Example, LeBron James worth $440,000,000.00, compares himself to Emmett Till, and how hard it is to be black in America. Serena Williams worth 180,000,000.00,.........is playing and fighting for women and mothers. A must read.

Williams needs to check her black superiority privilege.

Racism is the quickest and most “final” card that any jackass can play nowadays.

“I hope Mr. Kelly is prepared for the lynch mobs”

FB/Twitter will lead the charge.

Has he been banned yet like the artist who dared to draw Serena?

Stuff like this has been going on for years:

It's part of the game, whether the players are black, white, brown, red, yellow, green or blue.

That tantrum originated with William’s prejudicial attitude of “black privilege.” Williams just got a reality adjustment which caused her tantrum. A diminutive, kind,mannerly , polite Japanese Asian can indeed beat the snot out of a black person who has a mistaken, nationalist socialist attitude of black racial superiority.

Being a self designated , Obama supporting, in your face, so called racially superior black person will not save you from losing to a genuine competitor.

And these nationalist socialist sport figures then have a temper tantrum when the real world bites them in the ass.That’s essentially what happened to the left in its entirety when it lost to president Donald Trump, a continuing social tantrum of a national scale, just like William’s displayed in microcosm. We have a whole class of American radicals now who actually are insane. Williams showed us that insanity yet again. Williams should be punished for it because during the game Williams actually was extraordinarily abusive to her Japanese competitor, a complete lack of manners or nobility in the face of a competitor who displayed impeccable manners, even in the face of William’s aggression.

Williams should go back to being an American. So should race monger, former Quarterback, All Un-American,traitor Colin Kaepernick.

Such are the wages of minority and ethnic nationalism. They are fascists who will go to whatever extreme they can to gain their ends, including sponsored violence and terror.We see their ugly face more and more, and soon we will put them into the dust bin of history for good via their embarrassing ignorance.

Did John McEnroe bring his race or family issues to the tennis court?

Take a closer look at the "Japanese Asian."

McEnroe came from a well-off background, but still, his family issues did and do have a way of making it onto the court and into the headlines.

It’s COVER.

Just like when Kevin Spacey was accused of MOLESTING CHILDREN.

He came out with the “I’m Gay” defense. And the media let him.

The opposite works too- if you’re on the liberal plantation, you’re protected. Bill Cosby got away with RAPE for decades. Then he made the mistake of wandering too far off the accepted liberal doctrine, and blammo.

He got what was coming to him, but he should have gotten it sooner.

Serena is playing:

The race card

The gender card

The MOMMY card

Serena needs to get back to playing tennis.....IF the USTA can find ANY umpire who will work any of her matches. Boycott is rumored.

Tennis players have been having tantrums for 40 years.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Serena has not had tantrums, as long as she is winning! Like most leftists, having a falsely inflated idea of themselves, , she is a sore looser. She is worth 180 mil, she can go home rich and pound sand.

And Osaka was the very epitome of manners in this match.I suppose you went back 20 years trying to find her making a face? Buahahahahahahahahaha!

You just do not like an accurate comment on the leftist,in your face Obama culture now prevalent in the MSM and in the sports world.

You need to bone up, take a look at liberal fascism and their tantrum clap trap for the proper context on William’s and Kaepernick’s unacceptable,unsportsman-like, unAmerican conduct:

1) The Quintessential Liberal Fascist:

2) Dinesh D’Souza: Death of a Nation:

https://www.dineshdsouza.com/films/death-of-a-nation/

X, just say no to minority and ethnic nationalism, and to their tantrums in public. You’ll be glad you did.And stop wearin’ NIKEs for Chrissakes!

This certified Old Guy can remember when, loooong ago, tennis used to be a classy sport for classy people.

No longer.

Everything is changing.

Black professional athletes have feelings of entitlement because they professional athletes and multi-millionaires. The fact that they don't like to lose also has something to do with it. Race may be in there somewhere, but don't discount the obvious.

Naomi Osaka's mother is Haitian and Black, another reason why race may not be the most important thing here. Venus Williams is dating an heir to the Annenberg fortune, and her sister married an Armenian-American Internet millionaire, more indications that it may not all be about race.

People love to turn sporting events into battles between races: Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird, Bob Gibson versus Denny McLain, Joe Louis versus Max Schmeling, Jack Johnson versus Jim Jeffries.

Sportswriters see the same dynamic in contests between athletes of the same race: Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson and Sonny Liston, going back to Jack Dempsey versus Gene Tunney (two Irish-Americans).

Usually one competitor is seen as polished, refined, well-mannered or well-educated, and the other is tough and from the streets, either a brute or a devilish trickster. People like to set up those kinds of rivalries, whether or not they make race a factor in them.

McEnroe and Borg, Federer and Nadal had some brutal rivalries, and race wasn't involved. The president has pardoned Jack Johnson, so maybe it's time to back away from interpreting everything as a racial confrontation.

williams and her coach cheated her opponent and got caught. Then she played mau mau on a referee who stood his ground. This blatant attempt to accuse and innocent person of sexism and racism is despicable and part of the moodier black athlete oeuvre.

I described what the coach did on tape and the fact that serena then changed her position and people look at me dumfounded. this is the worst example of piling on you can see and high paid athletes who don’t value fairness should be suspended for as long a possible.

“Stuff like this has been going on for years:”

The difference is that in the past it was just a temper tantrum. Athletes expressing their frustration at poor play or a poor call (it happens). They did not pull some social justice victim-hood card (racism, sexism, X’ism,.....

Very classless of her. Not that AA was a class act on the court.
