Tennis, anyone?

Maybe she and Kanye West can get together and teach a manners and etiquette class?

I'll say!! Was it a full moon this past weekend??

I don't mind a good player/ump-ref-judge rumble now and then.
I like the baseball manager that goes nuts-I find those encounters entertaining and funny.

I don't like the spitting/threatening/getting into an officials face.

If I was the line judge, and seeing the a-holery that some racket wielding Amazon was performing in front of me? I'd be a little rattled too.


The premise that a 'foot fault' violation is never called at 'that point in a game' is ridiculous and stupid. Why have rules in the first place? Or do we suspend all rules and laws when it suits the situation?

------------

My brothers coached an adult softball team that were DQ'ed because a player on the team spit into the face of an umpire that made a call that went against him.

It didn't seem to matter that they were playing for the league championship and it wasn't the fault of the other 14 players on the team. The ump-who used to ump the games I played in - was a stand up guy and I really didn't blame him for calling the game. God knows what kind of problems would have gone on if he hadn't stopped the game!

LOLOLOL, she just put out a statement saying that she was sorry and apologized to the judge, her opponent and the public. Probably the investigation and the possibility of her having more sanctions against her gnarly persona made her "get some sorry"? I guess 350k is quite a bit of money to lose?

I read the comment "tennis needs the Williams sisters, not nice versa" somewhere on the web. How very true.

There is no good excuse for the Potty Mouth, other than having a hot head when not winning at a game she usually excels in...... They fined her $10,500 and she lost the match when the point was assessed for her behavior. Too bad. Such is life.

This too will pass. Should she be punished anymore or less than anyone else? Gee, who really cares? I know I don't. She is one more sports figure, acting badly. They are easy to come by these days.

Let's watch the better behaved sports figures and let the rest be.

Serena's tirade was inexcusable all the way around. She came out acting like a raving lunatic out of the middle of nowhere. Now, she apologises to all her fans and everything is supposed to be okay?

I really have no desire to watch her again. I agree that we should pay attention to the well behaved sports figures. Such an insult to all of us to watch the way some of these people act. Geeeeee.......I really think I could muster up some better behavior if I were making all that money and being watched by millions of people.
I only get satisfaction in seeing how stupid they seem to feel after the whole thing is over.

I just watched the end of the Federer-Del Potro match with my dad, who follows tennis. Whew!

Hmm,

I guess being polite has had it's day.

I am a peripheral BB fan and saw parts of Jordan's speech.

Wow, what a load.

I so wanted to see Robinson, but thought it started later than it did. Thankfully, I did not watch that ego trip.
