Reverse sexism in its purest form.
GTFO with your passive aggressive crap, Serena.
Only sexism is against males and this French Revolution of metoo frauds needs to end

Just out of interest, I have never known anyone refer to themselves as a "social-justice warrior." It seems entirely a pejorative term deployed by the right, and especially the far right, to criticize liberal and left positions without bothering to engage with them. I don't even think that either moderate or thoughtful conservatives use the term. It's basically an ad hominem, and so a logical fallacy that should be avoided by anyone engaged in serious discourse or who wants to persuade someone with whom they disagree.
There is a character in the TV show "One Day at a Time" who refers to herself as a social-justice warrior, so perhaps some young people do self-describe in that way. But I'm a professor and I have never heard a student self-describe as a social-justice warrior.
he admitted to coaching.Of all the wrong things this guy was the least wrong. I mean seriously he made a hand gesture.
I wonder, if one of your colleagues at work demanded an apology from you, called you a liar and a thief, and told you that you wouldn't be in another room of his as long as you live, and he yelled this out in front of thousands of people in attendance and millions of people watching it on live television, would you just use your discretion and let it pass, despite knowing that you did nothing wrong? In almost any workplace, we would be considering a possible suspension. You get away easy in Tennis.As has become the case with most controversies, we have made it a choice between two extremes. Some say Serena did absolutely nothing wrong and is a hero for standing up to the chair umpire and calling him a thief.
The other side says takes joy in pointing out that the umpire acted within the rules and say that Serena deserved the consequences. There was absolutely nothing dubious about the chair's decision.
Clearly, the truth is in the middle of these extremes. Each warning against Serena was technically legitimate, and she should not have called the umpire a thief. On the other hand, it would have been best if the umpire had used a little discretion and not issued a game penalty. Thief is not such a vulgar term that he couldn't have chosen to withhold the penalty.
Serena was not blameless or heroic for yelling at the umpire, but that doesn't mean he made the best possible decision, either.
I like this PMo guy.
Finally after 18 months of Trump & Co. corruption, constant lies and subsequent denials we get a guy that is busted and totally cops to it. And he throws Toni under the bus in the process !
Mueller should subpoena PMo and find out what else he knows.
Yup and also says he does it all the time and never got penalized ever. And this is a freaking slam final. Sorry. The ref injected himself into the match.he admitted to coaching.
After Layani coaching Kyrgios I think it’s 1:1 hahha

So you're saying there's nothing at all questionable about a game penalty at a crucial point in a grand slam final?
Here is a definition for you;
SJW
Abbreviation for Social Justice Warrior. A person who says its all about equality, but in reality, wants a certain group/groups to be more superior that their enemy, the white, straight, cisgender male.
They love being offended and find practically anything offensive, and think that any opinion that opposes their own is a hate crime. They also use "check your privilege" unironically, and would do anything in their power to take you down if you disagree with even the smallest thing that they believe in. Often believe there are over 100 genders and sexualities and would label themselves as several of them on their Tumblr pages even though doing so can contradict one another (i.e. Being binary yet non-binary, being pan yet lesbian, etc.) only to be a special snowflake. In addition to that, would use absurd pronouns (i.e. Xir, Ze, Zim, They, Them, etc.).
Take caution when encountering these whales, especially if you're white, straight, skinny, cis, not disabled, and/or a normal ass human being.
Person: I don't find transgenders attractive-
SJW: OH MY GOD, YOU'RE A TRANSPHOBIC, CIS GENDERED, WHITE PRIVILEGE HAVING PIECE OF LIVING ****, KYS!

Truth. Not the best moment. They really have had a complex relationship avec le topspinmono!Smarter? Better?
Clearly you’ve forgotten the Grosjean - Nadal match where Nadal had the chair come down 2 straight points to check marks and correct calls (Nadal was right both times) Crowd made so much noise they couldn’t play for 7 minutes.
New Yorkers are bad but rubes compared to the French.
i agree the ref injected himself, thats why i said he arbitrarily enforced the rules.Yup and also says he does it all the time and never got penalized ever. And this is a freaking slam final. Sorry. The ref injected himself into the match.

There are consequences for your actions, and there should be. I'd understand if Ramos had made poor decisions prior to Williams's outburst, but he did nothing wrong. The coach admitted to coaching. Williams did break her racquet. Williams deserved both those violations. And she deserved a third for berating the umpire for giving out two deserved violations.
But then again, Serena is a black woman with a daughter, so maybe Ramos should be given the electric chair.
Still didn't get a code violation though did he even though he was ranting and bersting Carlos all through the sit-down.time violation vs code violation.
Wanna get a megaphone and announce to the world you're clueless?
This was both a satisfying and terrible match to watch for me. Serena fully deserved the penalties she got, but the way the crowd treated Naomi (who, by the way, is effectively an American, she's been in the USA since age 3) was disgusting.
I'm happy, though, that Serena finally got what she's been deserving all these years.
so does putin, Red Star!Lahyani defuses bad behaviour whereas Ramos throws fuel on the fire!
If Katrina Adams said that it wasn't the outcome we wanted, then she needs to be replaced at the USTA.
I agree rules need to be enforced more consistently . The top players get away very easily . Also the linesmen always decode calls favoring the top guys
But it doesn’t really matter to me that it was a major final . Serena clearly was ranting on and on and deserved what wasn’t going on
That racket abuse and coaching sometimes go unnoticed does not put Ramos at fault for what he did today
Thanks for this, as it does show there are discrepensiesNadal doing the exact same thing with 2 prior violations berates Bernardes and says that he will never coach one of his matches again.
Doesn't receive a game penalty or even a penalty taken away from him
I've heard firsthand accounts. She's not a nice person.I don’t think Serena is a bad Person ???
Way to Osaka after a big drama scene by Serena you kept your poise and finished the match with class. Most other players would have caved but you played a great match and deserve all the credit and would have won the match even without the penalties. You gave Serena the mother of all shellacking.
Men have pointed at the umpire, called for their removal, and called them an abortion and did not get a warning. See Connors Krickstein US open match.
Agreed. Serena clearly overreacted to the coaching call, shouldn't have broken her racquet, and was a bit rude to the umpire. He also overreacted to her rudeness and could have shown discretion. Those saying that he just followed the rules should recognize a distinction between the official rules and the de facto rules. Yes, he followed the official rules. But the de facto rules are that umpires can exercise discretion. (Do those thinking the umpire did well because he followed the rules also think that everyone who has ever gone one mile an hour over the speed limit should get a ticket?)
Her coach admitted on live TV that he coached. Carlos Ramos picked it up so what was he supposed to do according to you?
Some players get away with it because the umpire doesn't notice it. Today he did.
So you're actually mad that Serena didn't get away with cheating while others did. How pathetic is that?
True, but nevertheless Serena is to blame for how this ended. Her behavior was not good for the sport.What?
the issue is whether what she said in her chair on a changeover should have resulted in a code violation. I say no, and it would not have happened had it been Federer.
In other words, had Federer received coaching, then smashed a racket, and then said what Serena said, is there anybody here who seriously believes he would have received that third code violation at the end of a set in the championship match?
It is not a Level Playing Field and as someone said earlier, perhaps the solution is to tighten up on all players. But as things stand, there is a clear disparity in how female players are treated.
I have to say, I didn't have much investment in the match before all this happened, boy that took a turn lmao.... Was great seeing her go off the rails and lose.Including me. Boy what a good day.
Fell sorry for Osaka.
Look you can deny it but cultural marxism is a very real thing.That definition supports rather than challenging my claim that it's purely an ad hominem slur with no utility in reasoned or reasonable discourse.
My Mother saw it as well, instant Osaka fanMy mom is a Osaka fan now
Whatever you think of Serena and Naomi (and I adore Naomi), there is no doubt in my mind that the chair acted improperly.
I think there was gender bias at work. The first coaching violation? Deserved. The second violation? Deserved.
But I cannot begin to count the number of times men have sat in their chairs on changeovers and had heated discussions with umpires, and nothing whatever happens. But when it is Serena, it is a game penalty in the final. Insane. Her words were actually civil -- saying she deserved an apology, no profanity, no threats.
Need more proof?
In this same tournament, we had a chair umpire come out of his chair to basically coach Kirios in front of God and everyone. The proper response would have been to enforce the code of conduct, but no. Ump goes easy on the man, and USTA backs up the umpire.
By that standard, Ramos should have come out of his chair and talked to Serena, calm her nerves, tell her he wants to help her. Nope -- game penalty (when the tirade was over and he could have let it go) to put Serena's opponent a game away from the championship.
Congratulations to Naomi, but what happened today was rooted in disparate treatment and sexism.
She received a warning for coaching, not a penalty.He absolutely admitted it. But all coaches coach. Most of them are so involved they couldn’t stop if their lives depended on it. In an open final you don’t give a penalty for that.
oh pleaseWell, technically, the umpire wasn't wrong, as showing leniency and acting in favor of a player as to not apply the correct penalty is not actually fair towards the other player, the one who respects the rules and doesn't try to force them in their favor all the time.
The umpire has to act according to the rules and if he did, then he was not actually wrong. That's like saying a policeman who gives a speeding ticket to somebody was wrong because he could've just warned that person.
Serena and her manager probably think they are the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to women tennis. 95% of the time they get away with bending the rules because the officials show too much leniency and don't apply all the rules properly. On occasions though, players like Serena get caught and they make a big drama out of it. The goal is that if it will happen again, officials will prefer to avoid the scandal and be softer, more 'understanding'.
Look you can deny it but cultural marxism is a very real thing.
Even Johny Mac suffered an absurd demonization campaign after daring to say Serena would not be able to compete with males.
This what radical feminists aka sjws do, they believe genders are literally equal.
If you dont see a flawed reasoning there well chances are youre a sjw yourself.
