RE: Was Serena Williams Right to Launch a Tirade Toward the Umpire at the 2018 US Finals?
inhumane? very ott way to describe it
nobody would continue playing without contesting that joke of a penalty on an outdated minor rule that's been planned to be scrapped for a long time and will be gone by next year
how do you suppose it would be corrected if the umpire was wrong no doovers in tennis? or is it they cant be wrong
Jeez, refer to previous comment! The umpire "is" the authority and what he says goes! Doesn't matter what you or I think about the relevance of the rule in question. Just going by this conversation between us, shows how important their job is. She yelled and screamed like a spoilt brat. I find it unbelievable you think that behaviour should be tolerated, bud.
different standards,
her penalty's in a top level game were much harsher than anybody else had prior
here an example from one month ago
either its because shes a women or because of her race its evident there is some bias but then again maybe the umpire had $10k on Osaka at 10/1
An umpires rulings are "discretionary". At the end of the day, they're people just like anyone else. Serena verbally assaulted him for an extended period of time. Abusively and with aggression. Not exactly the best way to get an umpire on-side. She was instrumental in her own downfall.
The clip you showed was racket abuse, but the umpire decided not to call violation. His match, his rules. Sexism and racism rubbish to one side, it was his call. Just like different football refs allow for different incidents, same goes for tennis or any other sport you'd care to mention. Nothing to do with her laughable cries of discrimination in the least.
