Yes. It feels similar in baseball right now. God forbid you have swagger in your game because white players and fans get all defensive and shit. It always highkey worry me when educators (sheβs said she is a teacher)donβt get it. You would think her big ass glasses would help see this stuff.

I do feel like some people are so intent on showing their tennis knowledge, they are failing to read words. Iβm glad I can confidently state that Iβll never be able to share my tennis knowledge with the world. Wait, thatβs a lie, hereβs my tennis knowledge: the ball is green or maybe yellow and home runs are not the goal. /fin

She was getting her ass beat and was pissed off. Her coach broke a rule. She went off on an official. The way she went off wouldve got her ejected in many other sports. She was penalized. To automatically assume she was a victim of racism or sexism without holding her accountable for her actions is a bit much. Again, though, as people are saying, both can be true. She can have done something against the rules but still be a victim of racism and sexism.

The extent of my tennis knowledge is that zero points is called "love".

Lamp, you get tennis. I think thatβs great, I donβt. Maybe she was out of line at the Open. My understanding is her integrity was called into play at a match on the highest level and she responded. I was here until the coach said he was coaching her and then I was like oh shit.

Plus also itβs ok for women (and men and non binary folks) to get angry when they encounter structural racism and sexism and to be loud about it. It is not wrong to get pissed off and emotional when that happens. You do not have to make yourself polite and tone down your anger just because it makes people uncomfortable. This is true.
If you are breaking a rule that you know and you get called out for breaking the rule then what?

Ramos is a stickler for the rules. Other male players have stated that they felt targeted by him. All of his violations were correct even if nit picky. Had she accepted the first violation with some grace, the whole drama that ensued would have been avoided. She kept gooooiiiingggg..... This is why I can't even get to where people are when it started off with something you knew had happen.
Where they do that at?
