Re: Serena Williams

Sorry this is off topic.

I don't watch sport, but did catch the uproar on the news.

My flabber was a rather gasted. It seemed obvious while she was ranting that she'd had work done on her face. So I googled. Yep, plus other stuff.

I always think black people retain their looks, especially if the bone structure is there.

Weird.

I'll buzz off now

Re: Serena Williams

She actually said to the umpire something like he would never be on court with her again. Does she think she owns the court or perhaps the tournament?

I think the incident was just her displaying her true colours. She couldn't get what she wanted so she threw a strop and blamed society.

Re: Serena Williams

As the clip shows her exact words were "You will never, ever, ever be on a court of mine as long as you live" which she seemed confident in saying.

Does she have enough clout to actually detroy the umpires career one asks !

Indeed ..... and, IMO, that's what the cartoon reflected.

Re: Serena Williams

Apparently the cartoon ''looks like an ape with big lips and big hair'' and the umpire is depicted as white even though he is actually Hispanic.

Well, Serena's not depicted as black as she really is and Naomi is depicted with blonde hair, but cartoons aren't supposed to be "realistic" .....
