fedderer cuss at the linesman and was fined only $1400 and no one made a fuss about it, so why is everybody all over Serena ? some wants her banned. she was fined more than $15,000 with more punishment pending. Seems sexist and racist to me

I assume you are a size 0? Contrary to popular beliefs, most African American women have hips and azz. I would flaut my curves too. The world stopped when she wore that catsuit. Excuse me; most men did; not sure about women.

Serena's record speaks for itself. Again, poor Arthur Ashe; the tennis world wants to stay white and blonde. Idiots.

Serena has a reputation (as does her sister Venus) of not challenging bad calls. Often, they have been too meek. I think the fact that there were so many bad calls in one match was extremely irritating. I'm sure Serena wishes the whole thing did not happen. I'm also sure that the officials will try to do a better job at finding line judges who can correctly call foot faults. The videos clearly showed that the calls were bad. As to whether Serena was losing, we will never know. I have seen her come from behind and win when it looked like all was lost.

To those who take this opportunity to bash Serena and call her some unflattering names, I simply say, "Watch your temper. Your righteous indignation thinly veils your ignorance. You are losing your tempers right here for the world to see. If you were without guilt, then you could cast aspersion. Forgive Serena AND forgive the line judge. At least Serena had the decency to apologize. The tournament officials also owe Serena an apology for putting up a line judge who clearly does not know or maliciously makes incorrect calls.

That's a woman? Gender testing is in order!

shut the hell up!

Oh please, that lines woman was an ass! I love Serena!

whatever a black person does is always critisized

First, excusing the fact that Serena is overweight for Tennis by noting "black" proportions of hips &..., note that Venus Williams somehow managed to stay in Tennis shape.
Second, Serena moves very quick for being overweight, and she clearly has some muscle, but her disregard for being in good shape (in which she would be quicker) is one of the reasons she is disliked.
Summation, Serena could have been the greatest female player of all time, but squandered talent by not working out, pursuing side businesses, and then when she loses, gives her opponent Zero credit (for things like staying in shape) and keeps making excuses. She's an overweight, sore loser, who's arrogance on the court is exposed via her tirades on others.

Get over it. John McEnroe was made famous for his tirades against linesmen and judges and you probaly sat back and thought it was funny. McEnroe also made millions from commercials taunting officials. This is an example of the double standards still pervasive in Americans. We still have a long way to go. And that thing about tampax leaks, way too much information.

I think it's a matter of having a little class. Class acts are hard to find in sport figures. All that showboating is getting ridiculous and sending the wrong message to our youth. Emmit Smith,Earl Campbell are examples of sportsmen with class. They didn't act foolish after making a touchdown. It's their job to score, but it is also my job to run a refinery and it would be like me jumping up and down like a fool every time I made a move on the control board. How ridiculous would that look, I'd probably lose my job. Try to keep a little class in sports 'cause even the best fall once in awhile.

serena's true self has come out; her anger; her lack of class; her lack of self control - all are indications of who she really is. she may be a good tennis player and a top athlete, but she is who she is, and that's that!! Get used to it! But truth be told, I and I'm sure many others would not miss her if she never played in a professional tennis match again!! BYE BYE

Serena is just another ghetto figure that doesn't belong in a civilized world.

R u serious. Tennis is her life and they messed with her income for a false call. If someone deducted your pay from your job wrongfully you would be UNSPORTSMANLIKE regardless of your size.

What does her size have to do with anything...I'm sure you are WHITE and the fact that she is BLACK made a huge difference....I'm so sick of WHITE people measuring up black people like we are animals, when in fact WHITE are the true BEAST!!!! White people do flip out and its all good, but when a black person flip, OH MY GOD! do you see how he/she acted...When its all said and done, the truth is going to come out about WHITE PEOPLE and their true behavior

Why is it when white folks do it it, it's excusable, funny or even them just having a bad day, but when black folk do it, it's OMG! White tennis players have been doing even more reprehensible things on a repeated basis for decades and it's never been discussed to this degree. This is a first for her and immediately the media is all over it. It simply shows you that white needs to be right, and I'm not talking about the smart, intelligent white people who read (hint - hint), I speak of the ignorant, foolishly blind, misguided ones and that includes black or any other race that would swallow garbage such as this. Young lady you should do your history before you jump on some elses band wagon. You may be surprised where it's taking you. We have to forgive people like you, it's obvious that you don't know any better. Oh, and by the way, she has an amazing body!

Considering the fact that Serena is 5'9" tall, she would be deemed "large" by a lot pf people...her weight has nothing to do with that fact...and her sister, Venus, is 6'1"...

Oh please! I'm so sick and tired of people acting as if she's not supposed to be human. Yes, she lost her cool. You're so sure that the lineswoman was in fear of her life. Come on. Why? Serena never came close to her. If she'd been in her face when she said that, then yes, she should've been afraid. She wasn't even within 10 feet of her when she made her outburst.

and your point?

Please give us a break with your one sided comments,many of us that lived doing the McEnroe era understand EXACTY where your comming from
