The rule is that no coaching will be allowed during a match. Period. End of story. Anything outside that parameter is not relevant.

In addition, whether the rules are enforced differently between the males and females is wrong, and certainly something to object to, but doesn't impact this specific game. She's known of this difference for years. She's aware this is a tough chair ref. She knew if she acted up long enough she'd be penalized.

This is all on her.
I'm in agreement. Residinghere2007;52877978 believes Serena deserves a free pass. Nothing wrong with that.

It would be better for her to just post that if that's the case. Arguing things that don't make sense is futile but a simple, 'yeah she was wrong but I just want her to be given a pass' would at least be honest.

Honestly - that was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw that (since I couldn't hear it at the time).

I agree with you. Not for nothing. Their should be a law called give a black woman a free a pass. I'm all for it.

To Serena from an old dead Greek guy:


“Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody’s power, that is not easy.”

Female rage is all the rage. Here in the Washington Post a college professor describes her rage against her husband, despite him being a good man who has done nothing wrong.
Quote:
I yelled at my husband last night. Not pick-up-your-socks yell. Not how-could-you-ignore-that-red-light yell. This was real yelling. This was 30 minutes of from-the-gut yelling.

In the centuries of feminist movements that have washed up and away, good men have not once organized their own mass movement to change themselves and their sons or to attack the mean-spirited, teasing, punching thing that passes for male culture. Not once. Bastards.
Imagine being married to this woman.

Wapo: Thanks for not raping us, all you ‘good men.’ But it’s not enough.
