Serena shows the world her true colors

[nuraman00]

Well, I only jumped in when I saw the unfairness of the one-sided berating of a black woman especially by a lot of posters who do not have a clue about tennis bt chose to participate just because it was the greatest woman tennis player who happened to be a black woman.
I used to post in PF until I was booted out of there and cognizant of the fact that nobody's mind can be changed from a post in a message board.

What's PF?

Come on Liberal Bacon you have posted here for as long as I can remember. You are the first Shell gasoline guzzling poster here and you used to berate Hingis and Henin at every opportunity you got.

She is not the greatest ever tennis player like you religiously claim. She has racked up 23 slams over a period of 20 years in one of the most questionable weak era seen in women’s tennis where almost everyone has a ball bashing one dimensional game and she had the edge over everyone else because of her superior physical attributes of questionable origin.

Now that she is old and fat and can’t move that well she is still making finals which clearly points out the shabby state of women’s tennis.

Serena Williams lost a fan in boxing star Claressa Shields. Here's how

World champion boxer Claressa Shields says an “upsetting” meeting with 23-time grand slam champion Serena Williams at the 2016 Rio Olympics led her to stop idolizing the “mean” and “unfriendly” star.

During a teleconference on Tuesday for the announcement of her next championship fight, Shields was asked who her role models are in the sports world. She was bummed while telling the story about meeting her childhood idol.

"Well, one used to be Serena Williams," Shields, 23, said. "She used to be. I was able to meet Serena at the 2016 Olympics. She was just not nice.

"For me to look up to her like I did when I was a kid and then meet her in person and see how she's not fan-friendly, (that was upsetting)."

"She was kind of mean to a lot of people at the Olympics and just kind of made me not want to be like her," Shields said. "Because I'm different. I'm a fan of her being a great athlete, just not a fan of her as a person, if that makes sense?"

For every Claressa Shields, there is more than one Naomi Osaka, still idolizing Serena Williams even after what happened. I could care less what Claressa Shields or any boxing clown says. You would expect her to idolize Laila Ali rather than Serena. Just listen to what real tennis fans say; those who pay and go to the stadia to watch her play or on tv and increase ratings anytime she plays.

I somewhat respect what she has accomplished even in one of the most mentally weak eras in women tennis and definitely the most one dimensional ball bashing era but it do not like her the least bit as a person!!

And you claim you are a fan of tennis? How old are you?

That is not what the consensus is even among the women tennis players who actually played against her and those who didn't. They all to a person believe Serena is the greatest that ever played.

Serena lost a fan.....she'll probably need a charity banquet so she can pay her bills and buy food.

Imagine how much greater she would have been if she didn’t react to it and focused more on tennis. But she wasn’t taught how to do the other battle besides tennis and so the beast in her surfaced out many times. Imagine how bad the lineswoman must have felt when her life was threatened by a decorated tennis soldier? So yeah the imagining can go both ways.

Look this one is not about racism. It’s just a bratty bad and disrespectful person that she is who doesn’t know how to give her opponent credit and who clearly hasn’t learned how to take a beating properly with the right mentality if she is beaten fair and square.

She must clutch for straws to blame her defeat or poor performance on something. The sooner people realize this the better off the tennis world will be, instead of giving her a free pass. Bill Cosby didn’t get one because he is 81. Why should Serena?

I know. Ain't that the shit? Like Federer who never insulted an umpire or broke a racket. Isn't that swell?

naomi seems fairly intelligent. she acts nothing like serena. i doubt she's as big a fan now, as she was as a child.

I think you are confusing what tennis players say to the media with what they actually think of her as. Put it this way if Nadal says Fed is the greatest of all time then playing him and beating him only makes him look good to the media and the world whether he believes in it or not.

Your posts always look so weak because you resort to name calling and that is a sure sign that you are unsure of what you claim. It reminds me of the label on drinks where it says “contains 0% juice”. In other words you are saying blah blah blah without really carrying any weight to your statements. I don’t have to call you a clown because you are already parading in this forum as one with your verbose garbage.

 

[nuraman00]

Can't believe this thread reached 21 pages. The points made on both sides are so convincing that everyone probably has the opposite opinion from the start of the thread.

There was once a 230+ post thread on who was better, Pau Gasol or Dwight Howard.

Lol. Ask a number of tennis players both black and white and a good number will tell you Serena motivated them and that she is their idol. Regardless of all the howling from white nationalists and non-tennis fans, Naomi Osaka, who herself is black came on Ellen show and claimed Serena is still her idol despite the effort by the racist cartoonist from Australia to make her a blonde white woman. You can doubt all you want she claimed that before a national and international audience that Serena is still her idol. Nobody held a gun to her head.

Only a fool would make such an asinine assertion. If Nadal believes that Federer is the greatest he really believes that because what Federer has done in tennis is not taken out of a vaacum especially on a comparison basis and he knows it would not only be hubris but sound absurd to knowledgeable tennis fans. And that is why you are clueless.

she's black, young and impressionable, and grew up during serena's era. so what. she acts nothing like serena. naomi is watchable, and likable, serena isn't.

That’s because her parents brought her up better as a person. Taught manners and being humble.

Serena is still a bitch, eh?
Great tennis player, but still a bitch.

It is not that they think. They are. Unlike the white nationalist clowns who are blinded by hatred of a black woman to ignore her accomplishments.

Hmmmm. Impressionable, huh? How come Serena draws more ratings than any woman playing including Naomi if she is unwatchable? Some of you are so twisted in your warped minds it is not even funny.
