So... how do they accomplish that? That's my question. It isn't that hard. Using your criteria for William's fans, how do Stosur fans make the cognitive leap to love her anyway? Your serve.
Never heard of Stosur. What exactly is the point you're trying to make? Did I say that Serena is the only one guilty of using PEDs? Because if I didn't then I don't see what Stosur and her arms matter. PEDs are very widespread.

After defending Lance Armstrong for years, I will never ever come to the defense of any athlete who is, rumored or accused of using performance enhancing drugs! And this is particularly true for professional tennis which has one of the worst testing regimes in professional sports.

But I am curious as to why this thread singles out Serena Williams. I ask because both the Williams sisters have been singled out for all sorts nefarious, deeds, and plots most often centering around their attire, their looks, and their physiques which makes me, shall we say, uneasy about the motives of the critics.

Now Serena can take care of herself and needs no help from me, but I am concerned that the next round of big African American players like Sloan Stephens and Taylor Townsend will have to endure the same sorts of accusations and innuendo.

Of course it's because of racism. It has nothing to do with the fact that she looks like an NFL linebacker and sticks out against her peers like a sore thumb. It's always about race.

She probably uses drugs. If I remember correctly, she recently had a bizarre nervous breakdown which they blamed on "the flu."

Exactly...whoever's gleefully waving the race card just needs to stop. No one cares.

Despite all the accusations being made, nobody has produced one single shred of proof of what they are claiming.
Wait....did you just suggest all women are NOT bad drivers............Fallacious!

I think all ya'll are missing the point.

Roids or not I still wouldn't mind taking that 33 year old bod for an all-night spin around the block. Put some Oklahoma Redneck in her life.

If you google 'muscular female tennis players', Serena Williams isn't the first name that comes up. Its actually Samantha Stosur. At least the first dozen or more hits focus on Stosur's arms and physique. So I suppose her fans are either comically naive, or they are Black. 60 women, including Stosur have beaten Williams. So much for being such an outlier specimen of female athleticsm. But don't let facts get in your way, haters. As I understand it, PED are a problem world-wide in professional tennis. If Williams is doping she is in good company. Leave her alone, or include every other pro-player, male and female, in your witch hunt. With that, I am done with this thread. I have proved the detractors to have nothing. If Williams being big and muscular is proof of drug use then I imagine something would have been done about big, muscular players by now.

It's disgusting that some of you all are still finding a way to insult the greatest women's tennis player of all time. Mods, please shut down this hateful thread.
