Nonsense. SW wasn't penalised for expressing emotion. She was legitimately penalised for 3 outright infringements of the rules. Osaka, on the other hand, was wrongly made to feel she needed to apologise for her victory.

I have been harrassed at work,paid less than an ungraduated male collegue, lost my temper and lashed out, but this is not what happened here. Stop making her a victim. She won this open 6 times before, she should have known better. End of story.

Women are measured by impossible & incompatible standards- if they behave like men, they are criticised for being hard & lacking compassion. If they play to feminine strengths of empathy & emotional intelligence, they are deemed weak & unfit to lead.

Serena has done thus before. She abuse 1 linesjudge (female) and 2 judges (also female) before in 2009 and 2011. She is a spoiled brat not a victim of sexism. By using this card she's laughing in the face of the true victims.

Horse feathers. Serena simply refused to accept responsibility for boorish behavior.

It's not a women's issue. She broke the rules, look at the real issue. She is a spoiled bratt who tried to change the problem she created to sexism.

I’m afraid serena made the outburst all about herself & then tried to attach the colour/gender card. These issues are valid and exist but her outburst was demeaning & secondary. Fact men are disciplined at a far higher rate than women in tennis. It was a tantrum end of story

I have coached both men and women and what I witnessed was an absolute embarrassment. I would be ashamed if any of my players behaved in that way, and frankly, none of my coaches would have stood for it.

I wrote about Serena here. In that final, she was every womanhttps://theblackunicorn.blog/2018/09/10/in-the-us-open-final-serena-williams-was-every-woman/ …

She was not my woman. A bully does not represent me.

Maybe
@serenawilliams didn't behave well but why are we required to when faced with unfair practices that are sanctioned by the bodies that are supposed to protect us? Please sit down and take being abused and treated unfairly in a better way. -
Those were not unfair practices. She violated the rules of the sport that have been in practice for more than the 20 y. her career spans. Rules all other players male & female know and follow. Why should she be the exception? She was being an abusive bully.
-
They may be the rules but they are not enforced equally or fairly. That is why it is biased. If every time somebody infringed on those rules they were called on it and fined it wouldn't be an issue.
-
Great link, thanks for sharing that it is very informative. The only thing it can't cover is when these events happened and people weren't called on them which would also be very informative. You would have to watch years of matches to cull the data.
