True.

A man recognises a real woman by her moustache.

Your only like 14-15. When girls get over 19 yrs old, they may have a flaw or two. You guys are embarassing yourselves by saying she is ugly when your 120lbs and i could play connect the dots with the pimples on your face.

You remind me of that chubby nerd guy with the "I f*** on the first date" tshirt meme

She is a model, who makes a ton of money for it.
 
You weren't talking about the issue of non-reporting.

What?????? Didn't you quote me in the same post of yours:
"IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE. She was REQUIRED to report. She broke the rules by hiding it and she broke the rules by taking it".
:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Let me write it again: She was REQUIRED to report. Now, what did I say? Was I talking about the "issue of non-reporting" or not? Just wow.

I can't even comprehend what I'm:
suggesting she should have been telling various people other than authorities,
Would you care to explain what it means?

The reporting requirement was SPECIFICALLY instituted to prevent what she did, that is to take LEGAL drugs to improve performance. It is SPECIFICALLY there in the rules to prevent any abuse of medications for performance purposes.

Do you know how ******** you sound when your assumptions about the guy on the other side are dead wrong?

Look at your location, look at your sig. Look at how you limit your profile. Then we look at your posts, displaying your knowledge of the game. You end posts with cool...

You figured that I am the person you described in your previous post with that "information"?

I am looking forward to more revelations.

Or am I?

I don't think people are saying that she is "ugly." She is cute in her own ways and better than most women, by the looks. However, she is way to much overrated as a "model" and as a sportswoman. I like how they always try to hide her big feet by using high heels, hiding her feet, or using angles. There's nothing wrong with having big feet. However, generally people don't like to be deceived (by edited or selective pictures, false statements or cheating athletes). That's it.

The guy equals "ugly" with "around average".

Advanced stuff.

You are so busy shouting that you forgot to read what I wrote.

I said she took three drugs that she did not report, a commonplace offence.

I said otherwise she is not required to tell anyone, so she hid nothing.

So you are saying big people have big feet. Do you have anymore astonishing revelations?

Someone counted and Serena is mentioned 106 times (!) in the book. She's completely obsessed with Serena. The book, by most accounts, is garbage filled with false victimhood and racist undertones.

Par for the course for Sharapova, of course.

The most fascinating revelation from the book for me was finding out how large Serena looms in Sharapova's mental life, to the point where she has thought about it extensively and it dominates a lot of her thoughts about being a professional tennis player and what it means to her psychologically. I always thought Sharapova compartmentalized Serena as her on-court nemeses but didn't think about her once the match was finished (perhaps to her detriment). Boy was I wrong......

I am in the unique position of being someone who is a HUGE Sharapova fan and HUGE Serena fan. I really like them both. The book has been an intriguing read for me. Don't believe the hype from the excerpts that have been released online, though. There is much to consume in this book beyond the thoughts about Serena. There is some great deep dish info served on pro tennis generally, and Sharapova writes a lot of really heavily detailed commentary about the interesting players she has faced over the years, her formative years (rarely discussed before) and the state of the game.

Even if you don't like Sharapova she has a unique insight because she is in a category now where she is one of those players that has now played across multiple mini eras. She has seen a lot and she worked with a biographer that didn't filter her voice at all.

If you're not a huge Shara fan and don't want to give too much money to Sharapova, Inc., the e-book versions can be had pretty cheaply at a few online retailers.

A book works better with a hero and a villain, a protagonist and an antagonist so I would be sceptical about reading off someone's 'mental life' from an autobiography of sorts.

Wow.....what a thread. lol.

Sharapova is a great champion, but, will unfortunately always be in the shadow of the GOAT.

This book would have been more appropriate after her retirement. It's weird to spill all this locker room stuff while still active on tour. Unnecessary, but, so was meldonium.

WADA-induced semi-retirement required a sabbatical project and a way to re-launch herself to the public.

Publishing a book means a PR tour across all media.

That's the way things work these days. You only see stars and celebrities when they have something new to launch.

The Guardian actually gave us a bottom of the article definition they were so impressed.
Both somewhat off the mark. Thanks to internationally-renowned linguist Kim Jong-Un now we have a precise word for Masha haters. Dotards!

Childish notion. No one is jealous of Sharapova. The players accurately described how she is disliked, which is all due to her despicable behavior. Nothing more.




More nonsense. Courier and John McEnroe physically assaulted people, but they are patted on the back as tennis royalty. The reason why is clear. As a matter of history, the sisters faced innumerable racist incidents on court, and all the way down to boards like this one, where the usual suspects have used endless, long-lived racist terms, coded language and/or suggestions about them--from calling Serena a gorilla (by several members), to making "ghetto" stereotypes, to referring to both as animals, thugs, etc. You can live in that ever-shattered world of denial, but history cannot be erased or altered to protect those who target the Williams sisters for that reason.

While I agree Serena's despicable behaviour was an exception, it should also be noted that this use of language regarding Serena is also an exception in this board. Not only is it an exception, but it's usually undertaken by people who aren't regular members, or who - as cowards or trolls - create accounts in order to spill their hateful thoughts and get banned.

You're making it sound like someone calls her an animal every day, which is absolutely untrue. So if you're willing to point out one exception, you should also be willing to acknowledge the other. You can't point to a single instance where I or any other rational Serena detractor (and I'm not always a Serena detractor, as many people here know) in this board have insulted her in the ways you describe.
 
So you are saying big people have big feet. Do you have anymore astonishing revelations?

Don't twist my words around. I said that they try to hide her feet in her images. I also said that I have no problem with anybody's big feet. Nevertheless, hiding her big feet is a deception, in a way, intended to make her look better that she really is.

I "shouted" because you have completely twisted my words. I was specifically referring to her duty to report and you claimed that I was NOT talking about the reporting. Eyes rolling...

Now, her failure to report, which you called a "commonplace offence," I call an attempt to hide. Why? Because it was not a one-time event. She's been required to report it for many years and she didn't. Furthermore, the requirement to report is SPECIFICALLY designed to uncover any abuse of "legal" drugs. It's not a whim.

On a similar note, she doesn't allow to use her samples for studies. It can be a matter of privacy, of course, but with her previous history it raises the possibility of some other hidden skeletons in the samples.

Photoshop AKA "Maria Sharapova: A Life in Pictures." The very reason why she's not much more than a manufactured image based on an equally manufactured idea of value.

I've been around here long enough to know the opposite. With nearly every match thread where Serena is mentioned, a Williams-related thread of any kind, or even topic that initially had nothing to do with Serena, in comes the usual suspects either trolling every Serena loss, re-posting that minor incident at the USO in photo or comment, and yes, racist, utterly dehumanizing posts--coded or overt (like the gang and "thug" reference in this thread) have been posted with great frequency. You may not see it, but that's only due to quick alerts to moderators to delete such posts...and its not just the work of regular members and their alternate accounts.

Did they ever put her head on another body like they did with serena? Air brushing is one thing, that was photoshop magic

Same source as above, as they say: straight from the horse's mouth. The official WADA website.
https://www.wada-ama.org/en/prohibited-list/prohibited-at-all-times/hormone-and-metabolic-modulators

Open this page, scroll down on the right panel called "Hormone and metabolic modulators" and you will find:

Meldonium
Trimetazidine

Prohibited at All Times (which means they are banned during competitions and between competitions, i.e. banned altogether).

Of course its banned. No amount of Red Star spin jobs erases the PED status of Meldonium.

Its photoshopped and airbrushed you utter mug as well as having filters applied, color corrected etc

You think they're going to sell any magazines if they used raw photos of her? People would be throwing up their dinners if they saw the undoctored photos of her pasty blotchy skin and cellulite.

Look closely by double clicking on the picture below to zoom in on it - she even has a moustache!!

Looking at all these threads I am honestly starting to believe that Sharapova's haters are the lowest of the low in this place, not the ones that talk crap about ATP's Big 3.

Nonsense.

I do notice how one of Sharapova's biggest TT fans once wished death on the Williams sisters on this board. That member poses a real danger to the safety of not just the sisters, but the entire Williams family. No amount of professional help will address a behavior that is rarely counseled or medicated.

Yes, that is a Sharapova fan, and one who entered this thread to flame another member a few pages ago.

Yes, I remember hearing about that. Curious if it was Serena's suggestion, or the magazine photo shopped without her permission.

I think serena did it herself (not sure), it was her supergirl selfie.
