So, what the hell did fat Serena do now?

Every year its something with this chick.


Yeah, she just keeps winning...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bFVcMenS5E

She allegedly smashed her racquet into a practice court and damaged the surface, got fined $10,000.

Alleged anger, petulance...all bad.

Don't want the racquets?
Give them to the poor.

Seems to be getting 'old and cranky'.
Better "sweet Serena" reappears...the People loved her much better.

Fuck you and the rest of the racist tone police.

$10K fine? Yeah, give her a minute to look in the bottom of her tennis bag.

Y’all wanna give her the “Angry Black Woman” tag? Fine.

She’s earned the right to say fuck all of you.

https://www.vox.com/2015/3/11/8189679/serena-williams-indian-wells-racism

She hasn't earned the right to damage Wimbledon tennis courts [or American ones for that matter.]

Accidentally most likely, but still allegedly damaged the surface.
$10,000 is probably the cost of fixing it.

She should be saying, as she hands over the money, "I'm sorry about that, I was caught up in the moment of a wayward shot".
What about respecting the game of tennis and the Club that is providing the courts?

Matters not skin color, gender, celebrity status...no one is bigger than the game.
There are rules and standards to be adhered to.

Eat shit and die... (What the hell, if I’m gonna engage a guy with junior high school sensibilities I might get on that level, eh wot?)

Say what you like...the powers that be seem to have had enough of it all...and not before time;

Damaged courts, bad behaviour, abuse of officials, tanking etc.

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/tennis/tomic-stripped-of-wimbledon-first-round-prizemoney-20190704-p524ah.html

London: Tennis great Mats Wilander has urged Bernard Tomic to rediscover his love for tennis after the Australian's troubled career took another turn for the worse.

Tomic was stripped of his prizemoney for not meeting the "professional standard" expected in his first-round loss at Wimbledon.


Yeah. He lost right?

Megan Rapinoe: 'You can't win a championship without gays'

#####

Really?
Wouldn't bet your house on it.

How would you avoid having them, oh discriminatory one?

Going to ask them their orientation before they join the team? Going to snoop around their private lives to check on them?!

I'd love to know.

If I were running the show I would select the best players.
There could come the day that they are not among the best players and don't deserve selection on merit.
What would you like..."gay quotas"?

Can you get any less clueful?!

If they select the best players, some of them are overwhelmingly likely to be gay.

Not because of quotas, but because of the combination of odds plus the change in the odds based on who goes into women's football.

In rugby, the chance of having no lesbians on our women's team are even lower.

Deal with it.

You are missing the larger point. Any championship team (or runner up or bottom feeder) on a team larger than a doubles in tennis will most likely have a few gay players on it. Gayness is a huge part of sports culture.

Chase Utley
Jimmer Fredette
Any OSU wrestler and most of the linemen & QBs
#1 radio host

And yes women’s rugby, obviously

When you cheer, support the queer.

My ancestor proved that some people can't handle criticism, as this board still proves today. RIP, Alex.

Also, someone who thinks nothing of spreading hoghly personal lies about someone his.disagrees with, to deliberately offend them, and then blames the person he lied about for being offended. Shocking.

If you’re ancestor made a statement about a historical event he would written a thousand words to back up his point.

He wouldn’t simply ignore the question. He would even explain when he didn’t really have to, a la The Reynolds Pamphlet.

How was an 1862 Civil War naval engagement more historically consequential than D Dai in June 1944?

We are paying $750.00 per day to house our immigrants in detention centers, from what I understand, we could turn them free in Detroit with an EBT card with $1,000.00 on it, and we could help them to get settled with housing, and the Unions can help them find jobs, etc, and in Detroit there could be redevelopment money and business loans.

Some of our cities are shrinking, and they are dying cities, we can bring the cities back to life by busing our immigrants to Detroit, Michigan, and to Gary, Indiana. Our new immigrants can breathe life into our dying cities.

Detroit City Council Member Raquel Castañeda-López wants us to bus our new immigrants to Detroit, she wants our new immigrants in her area. Our new immigrants can save Detroit. Detroit needs the people.

And Nevada is wide open and cheap.

We can easily welcome our new immigrants to the USA, and they can help to save the USA.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to a record high on Thursday, led by UnitedHealth shares, after testimony by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell this week that signaled easier monetary policy could be implemented later this month.

The 30-stock average broke above 27,000 for the first time in its history, rising 227.88 points, or 0.9% to 27,088.08. The Dow first closed above 26,000 in January of 2018, so it’s been a little more than a year-and-half trek between 1,000 point moves. The gains were largely driven by expectations the Fed will cut rates, insulating the market from a slowing economy and a trade battle with China.
The Dow now joins the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 in record territory.
