Not nearly enough for her disrespectful, outrageous, condescending, and utterly narcissistic behaviours. William's didn't just take the cake, she took the whole bakery and fantastically embarrased herself while degrading every single group she claimed to be representing !

Sir with all due respect, she represents me and I couldn't be prouder of Serena. Those penalties could have been warnings, aside from the racket throw. She did not degrade me b/ca it's NORMAL for athletes to get mad. Even gamers, get this mad if not worse. She's human.
-
She represents herself. She doesn't care about you or anyone outside her immediate circle, & no, her behaviour, lies, & allegations are not OK. She's a "professional" participating in a sport with well known rules of conduct & play. She assumed she superseded it. She was wrong.
-
Then why do you care?

-
Because an army of apologists come out of the woodwork trying to defend the indefensible & then to add insult to her outrageous behaviour she had the gall to claim she's working for women's rights, black rights.. & being persecuted for it ! She makes a mockery of real injustice !

Dude you’ve quite clearly never played competitive tennis at any level. It’s not like it’s some big secret! Go to a local high school match even. At least 1 guy will break a racket. I’d be surprised if even 1 female breaks one in anger over the course of the entire season

@serenawilliams had an ordinary on-court response for a pro tennis player in an extraordinary circumstance. The ump however, had an extraordinary reaction to ordinary ones. ....only thing separating the umps experience from business as usual, was her gender & inappropriate shock -
Her misconduct was not about her "gender", stop making excuses for her misbehavior. Whatever the umpires reason for finally having enough of her antics, her coaches blatant cheating, etc don't impugn the umpire by trying to claim it was gender based. That's a pathetic cop out.

A person of Serena Williams status should have been more sporting, and better behaved. Winning or losing is a part of the game, but the games should be played in the spirit of game that promote friendship and cultural interaction to diffuse political hostility among nations.

Tell that to McEnroe and many other male tennis players. Take note of how many articles celebrate 'angry and bad boys of tennis'. DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE NOT OKAY.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sportskeeda.com/amp/slideshow/12-angry-men-tennis-moments …

They were not celebrated, MacEnroe was despised and criticised endlessly. There were constant calls to have him banned from professional tennis and he was fined hugely and thrown out of several major tournaments. Check your facts before you start crying gender inequality.
-
But they are celebrated now in hindsight. Writing an article titled 'bad boys...' is just that. Celebration of bad behavior
-
"Bad girl's", "femme fatales"... literarture, art and narrative voice had always been awash with both praise and derision for the good and bad behaviour of all the outstanding and the exceptional. We admire Cleopatra all the more for her guile and audacity, for example.
-
Point taken. But how many of those 'bad girls' and 'femme fatales' suffered awfully because of double standards back then, espeically if they were black.. They endured far worse than most white men. History has always favored white men. That's why we have the term Patriarchy.
-
Patriarchy is not a racial term. And in fact it doesn't exist in the West anymore. It exists in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia etc. Why not focus on how the West is leading the way in terms of all forms of emancipation and try a help people who are really suffering?
