Serena Williams Disgraces Herself at U.S. Open

[Die Fledermaus]

I stopped watching tennis long ago owing to the obnoxious behavior of that petulant brat John McEnroe - who is currently in the broadcast booth!

Tennis needed to suspend him, and do the same for Williams. Why?

Serena Williams Loses U.S. Open Match for Threatening Line Judge:

Serena Williams lost the U.S. Open quarterfinal to Kim Clijsters when she was penalized a point for threatening a line judge who called a foot fault. With the score 6-4, 6-5 and 15-30 in the 12th game of the second set, Williams double-faulted on a foot fault and then walked over to the judge and said, "I swear to God I'll f'cking take this ball and shove it down your f'cking throat! Do you hear me? I swear to God. You better be f'cking glad that I'm not, I swear."

After the line judge told the chair umpire what had been said, Williams was told about the penalty and responded, "I didn't say I would kill you." See the video and her post-match press conference. Here's another clip for lip readers and more details on who said what when. "Without a doubt, this penalty was warranted," wrote Tom Perrotta on Tennis.Com. Unfortunate quote by Williams afterward: "My idol is John McEnroe."

Sick.

And this is why I do not watch tennis.

Many people, sports people included, need to learn some manners and treat people with respect no matter if they like the decision or not.

After, before the reporters, she did not apologize. She was just fined $10,000 and more importantly may lose over $300,000 prize money from the Open and be banned from a tournament.

I would not talk like that in front of thousands of people if I was drunk!

Latest:

She finally issued an apology.

Meanwhile, Kanye West disgraced himself at the music video awards marching on stage when he was not supposed to, when the winner was holding her award speaking, and he grabbed the mike and started saying how Beyonce should have won.

And if you think he would have done this if the winner was NOT white. . . maybe you're right; he is that much of a pig and PoS.

She just got hit with a record fine of over 80,000 dollars and placed on probation or such - another incident and she gets banned from a major tourney.
