        It’s amazing the insane takes that are coming from this bc it is Serena Williams. Any other player and it doesn’t get discussed past Monday.

        Yes, athletes SHOULD be given in-game penalties for poor sportsmanship. Abuse of referees and fellow players have no place in sports.

        This is the wrong takeaway. Lesson 1: Treating men’s and women’s unsportsmanlike conduct differently is wrong and cannot be tolerated. Lesson 2: Abusive and unsportsmanlike behavior from any athlete should not be tolerated. Children see that lesson in the results, not fines.

        Dershowitz, forgotten the terms sportsmanship, rules of the game, and professionalism? Professional atheletes have a greater obligation as role models for our youth. Bad behavior should never be rewarded. This kind of behavior has increased in degree and frequency. It must stop!

        Serena's loss was not due to her crazy behavior. First set she lost because she didn't score enough points. Second set she lost because she didn't score enough points. Her game was off from the get-go. Osaka was the better player on that day. (She'd beaten SW before.)

        She didn't lose for poor sportsmanship, that is giving her an out for being beaten. She was penalized for her coach cheating, insulting the umpire, and bashing a racquet. She is an amazing player, just beaten this day. Rules should always be enforced. That is fairness.

        Poor sportsmanship? You can find similar penalties for the same actions in almost every sport. In a soccer game calling thief to a referee, in his face, at least is a yellow card for shure

        I agree with this. They are competing on athleticism not personalities and character. Fine them after but do not give away points and affect the outcome.

        But even then, at least in basketball there is another player to put in so it is still an outcome based ultimately on athleticism.

        Well, whatever my respect for Mr Dershowitz... this is entirely wrongheaded. The reason for penalizing bad sportsmanship is not simply role modeling or decorum. One of its functions is to prevent retaliation. Take away in game penalties, you tell athletes to retaliate themselves.

        Actually they do b/c it's not all about them. There are other players on the field or on the court & it's unfair to those players. Like with what Serena Williams did by being a sore loser - she completely made a match where she was getting destroyed by her opponent all about her.
