    The policing of women’s bodies must end. The “respect” that’s needed is for the exceptional talent ⁦@serenawilliams⁩ brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies.https://www.npr.org/2018/08/24/641549735/one-must-respect-the-game-french-open-bans-serena-williams-catsuit …

        I don't see the Problem w this. It's their tournament. If her attire is not appropriate for @rolandgarros that's the committee decision.

        I'm waiting for a strong statement from the @WTA. Has any other woman player on the tour spoke out yet? I know our wonderful @andyroddick has. Silence equals complicity. #IStandWithSerena

        If a white player has recently worn something similar and gotten away with it then you have a real argument for racism. If not, it seems like you're reaching a bit
