Also, Serena’s tantrum had NOTHING to do with her race. And in all the photos Ive seen, Osaka was not robbed of anything. She got the win. She got the trophy and she got the purse.

And Serena got her trophy and purse for being runner up. What Osaka got cheated out of was her moment in the sun , the chance for her and her family , friends and fans to celebrate her great accomplishment. What a poor sport like Serena did was deprive Osaka of her time

Why is this so important to you? Are you a tennis fan?

But agreed. The kid got hosed by the brouhaha.

However, didn’t Serena praise Osaka and ask the crowd not to boo anymore? Or did everybody miss that part?

I hope you keep us up to speed on young Ms. Osaka’s career going forward,

Why is anything important to you?

It was your retort that wasn’t so great. You asked the question did you not?

Yssup Rider · 09-11-2018, 10:10 AM

Yes, but I was specifically talking about this tennis match and its outcome.

You were merely baiting another poster, bambino.

I wasn’t baiting you. It was you that was being snarky. Why does anything you post interest you? If you’re going to ask such an assinine question of somebody, why can’t the same be asked of you?

Yssup Rider · 09-11-2018, 10:44 AM

Ask away, bambino.

Then provide an answer.

And she is one of the best female tennis players even today. 23 major singles titles, 14 doubles titles, and 2 mixed doubles titles. A record in the Open Era. She remains the one singular player that other women players do not want to face.

Impertinent question. You are comparing apples to oranges. She's an elite athlete not just anybody. But let me give you one answer, Martina Navratilova.

Her actions were not representative of her whole career.

BTW, Serena Williams is a Jehovah's Witnesses and takes a neutral stand when it comes to politics.

Second BTW -- there's more than a slight negative racial tinge to many posts.

Yeah, remember when John McEnroe about a year ago said he could beat Serena now and they jumped on him for being sexist? It was all over the news. McEnroe got his fair share of criticism and fines for his behavior. I'm sure he had some points taken away and lost fans.

Serena is sponsored by Nike and has taken a stance in favor of Colin Kaepernick. Other than that one poster and his uncalled for "gorilla" comment I take offense to "there's more than a slight negative racial tinge to many posts." It seems that's the crutch of Progressive argument, throw out the racism card. As for the gorilla comment, I'm surprised Wakeup hasn't edited it out.

Ya'll are gonna get a "stop" post from wake-up any moment now.......haha

Yssup Rider · 09-11-2018, 12:04 PM

That would apply to you, too, then, right?

John McEnroe go away with much more than any other player in history. I loved to watch his matches because he was a great tennis player and you never knew what he would do. Made the game much more interesting.

Martina Navratilova is the answer? What was the question? I was referring to her singles titles being a record. Sorry if I misled you. Many tennis players have won more doubles and mixed doubles titles than Serena.

I never said that every post had racial tinges to them. A few, in my opinion, did. Maybe they weren't meant that way but that is how I perceived them to be.

Other than that, I stand by my statements. Serena is sponsored by Nike. Good for her. She supports Colin Kaepernick. Good for her.

No they won’t. I’ve already done that, the next one I see will get the thread closed, and every point get issued...I’ve been very lenient here so far...that leniency is at an end...

That's what this WAS about ... quelling the opposition speech.

The LIBERALS/SOCIALISTS can't legitimately DEBATE the issues they raise with FACTS and so they attempt to suppress their speech and writings ... either directly or by assaulting their character and/or integrity with false bullshit.

Does "dossier" mean anything? The FBI/DOJ false narrative.
