Serena LIED.....Good job! NIKE!!!!

What does that have to do with anything?

Also, Serena’s tantrum had NOTHING to do with her race. And in all the photos Ive seen, Osaka was not robbed of anything. She got the win. She got the trophy and she got the purse. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Why is this so important to you? Are you a tennis fan?

But agreed. The kid got hosed by the brouhaha.

However, didn’t Serena praise Osaka and ask the crowd not to boo anymore? Or did everybody miss that part?

I hope you keep us up to speed on young Ms. Osaka’s career going forward,

Yes, but I was specifically talking about this tennis match and its outcome.

You were merely baiting another poster, bambino.

Ask away, bambino.

Then provide an answer.
Serena had a baby just about a year ago. She'll be 37 in about 2 weeks. She suffered a pulmonary embolism in January. So yes, Serena is "fat" compared to the Serena of old. And probably less lithe in the body and face. How many people, athletes or not, are physically the same at 37 as they were in their 20s?

And she is one of the best female tennis players even today. 23 major singles titles, 14 doubles titles, and 2 mixed doubles titles. A record in the Open Era. She remains the one singular player that other women players do not want to face. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Does anyone remember John McEnroe? Compared to John, Serena, and just about any other tennis player, is a saint. Yet how many people idolized him? I have absolutely no idea what Serena's political position is but whether she is liberal, conservative, or something else, she is an athlete who had an emotionally tough day. Her actions were not representative of her whole career.

BTW, Serena Williams is a Jehovah's Witnesses and takes a neutral stand when it comes to politics.

Second BTW -- there's more than a slight negative racial tinge to many posts. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Serena is sponsored by Nike and has taken a stance in favor of Colin Kaepernick. Other than that one poster and his uncalled for "gorilla" comment I take offense to "there's more than a slight negative racial tinge to many posts." It seems that's the crutch of Progressive argument, throw out the racism card. As for the gorilla comment, I'm surprised Wakeup hasn't edited it out.

Martina Navratilova is the answer? What was the question? I was referring to her singles titles being a record. Sorry if I misled you. Many tennis players have won more doubles and mixed doubles titles than Serena.

I never said that every post had racial tinges to them. A few, in my opinion, did. Maybe they weren't meant that way but that is how I perceived them to be.

Other than that, I stand by my statements. Serena is sponsored by Nike. Good for her. She supports Colin Kaepernick. Good for her.

The LIBERALS/SOCIALISTS can't legitimately DEBATE the issues they raise with FACTS and so they attempt to suppress their speech and writings ... either directly or by assaulting their character and/or integrity with false bullshit.

Does "dossier" mean anything? The FBI/DOJ false narrative.
