This is nothing new,


Threads such as this remind me to NEVER forget the TRUE nature of you folks.
Yes, the TRUE nature of not excusing bad behavior just because someone is the same race.

I'm glad you're reminded - now don't forget it.

So you believe her lack of sportsmanship and her excuses for it are role model behaviors?

A queen? Of what nation?

She is an amazing athlete, gifted to be sure, but does this equate to being an amazing person? I dont know her well enough to say.

Throwing a temper tantrum diminished her.

Just because she is a great athlete doesn't excuse poor behavior or make her something above reproach.
I thought football fans were over the top!

Your comments speak for themselves. You've once again called Serena a victim when you state everyone here wants to diminish Serena. Not true. What we do want is for her to grow up and behave like the professional success she is - and a true behavior role model for those coming up in the ranks behind her.

At least she didn’t blame it on racism. I give her credit for that.

I don't care much for Serena and she'll never be associated with class, but this cartoonist was clearly out of line and a racist douche. Perhaps this is another example of narcissists not caring about bad publicity, as long as they get any attention at all.

Satirical cartoonists have always exaggerated features for humorous effect. Why should Serena, or blacks in general, be off limits for this?

Naomi is a rising star! She is also a true fan of Queen Serena and I think that in the coming years the crown will pass to Princess Naomi.

Except he decided to draw Naomi Osaka (black and Asian) as a blonde white girl. Nothing racial about that, right
