US Open

[BeyondFedUp]

Looks like the media strategy will be to downplay Serena's f-bombs and threats and hope it quickly goes down the memory hole of the DWFs, who have infantile attention spans anyway.  Currently, the websites of ESPN and Fox are giving it less than primary attention, while CNN/SI doesn't have anything on its homepage.  Fox's headline is "Bizarre Finish Dooms Serena"; a prominent white athlete having a huge meltdown like that would never get off so innocuously and would already be signed up for anger management classes.  Most likely Serena will be advised to issue some kind of apology in a few days or weeks and that will be it, much like Tiger Woods' profane temper tantrums are overlooked and/or quickly forgotten.

Hi Don, She released a "statement" today which included NO apology. It sounds typically black as she thanks her fans for being "understanding of her hunaness". I repeat No APOLOGY! TYPICAL!
Here is the pathetic statement:

"Last night everyone could truly see the passion I have for my job," it read. "Now that I have had time to gain my composure, I can see that while I don't agree with the unfair line call, in the heat of battle I let my passion and emotion get the better of me and as a result handled the situation poorly. I would like to thank my fans and supporters for understanding that I am human and I look forward to continuing the journey, both professionally and personally, with you all as I move forward and grow from this experience."

Screw Serena. She is a poor sport and a jerk. Her and Venus usually don't handle losing very well. They may be talented but they lack class, grace, and the ability to handle losing like a lady. I look forward to them both retiring so I won't have to watch or hear from them again. Unclassy losers who blame the whole world when they lose instead of looking in the mirror.

Congrats to King Federer. He makes another final. I hope he wins it all tommorow. The guy he is playing is 6'6 and very powerful. Should be a good match but I see Roger winning it again.Edited by: white lightning

Maybe Serena should have calibrated her words better. This is however a teachable moment for both Serena and all Americans....

Ah ha haha ha! I crack myself up sometimes.

 

[Poacher]

Just got through watching the Federer magic show in the semis.

He hit winners around the post and between his legs with his back to the net. Crazy, just crazy.

Should be a good match against the much improved Del Potro who pushed him in the French.

Congratulations to the dragon slayer. Kim Clijsters won the Open. She dispatched both of the Beasty-Sisters along the way.

Yeah the between his leg shot was maybe the greatest tennis shot I've ever seen, and he certainly didn't do it for show, it was the only way he was going to get the ball across the net. Federer is arguably the greatest athlete alive, but doesn't get that credit from the Rivals media b/c he's just a "tennis player". Boy is he quick and agile!

What pleasure it was to watch the womens final tonight. Two beautiful, athletic ladies playing the game of tennis at the highest level. They both played really good. Congrats to Kim. What a mother, what a sweet lady and one hell of a tennis player. She doesn't back down from anyone. Great to see.

It goes to show how much fun women's tennis can be without the Williams sisters. I'm literally counting down the years before they are done and out for good, and it's coming. With no black players waiting in the junior ranks, the future looks good on both the men's and women's side.

Watching Federer today, it was absolutely incredible. Djokovic played as well as anyone could play, but Roger always had the answers when it mattered most. He's clearly one of the greatest athletes of all-time.
And that shot was quite possibly the greatest shot in tennis history. My jaw literally dropped when it happened, and you could see the crowd going into mass hysteria!

 

[Solomon Kane]

What a happy ending! The last major of the year and both Williams sisters are dispatched by a white mom returning to the game after a 2+ year absence! Then she wins the whole thing! Also, there are reports that the other great Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne is planning a comeback! Awesome!

For what it's worth: Caste Central's Skip Bayless argued this morning that Serena should be banned from the next major (Australian Open) as an added punishment. The black guy was arguing that that would be too harsh, since it's her "first incident".

 

[Poacher]

Fed upset in the final by the big hitting Argentine.

Del Potro played out of his mind booming forehand after forehand.

 

[foobar75]

That was a bit of an ugly game for both players, lots of uncharacteristic errors out there, especially for Federer.

Del Potro is a great player and one of the rising stars. I expect him to win more Grand Slams in the coming years.

As for Federer, I guess you can't win them all. He should still be a factor for a few more years and I can see him approaching the high teens in the GS count.

Lots of solid players on the men's side make this a great time to be a tennis fan. I can't wait for the Aussie open in 2010!Edited by: foobar75

According to an AP article I just read, after the Williams sisters won the doubles championship the DWFs began booing when Patrick McEnroe asked Serena on court after the match, "What clicked in your head?" referring to her attack two days before. The DWFs have already forgiven and forgotten, if many were even angry to begin with.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Did she really call the judge an asian b--ch? Some articles mentioned that she did and some didn't.

Seriously, Mr. Wassall, how many White men want to see an all-Williams final in singles (which is what the media promotes, and they give the impression that we all want to see that)? White vs black in the final is one thing, but that's not exactly what much of the MSM promotes.

I think that is the big picture. The media puts falsehood over other falsehood, and it's up to us to peel away the layers. The MSM thinks (they of course want us to think that;Put that into our heads) that tennis will take a hit when the Williams' are gone from the playing scene, but they are so wrong.

When all is said and done, the Williams' will have been irrelevant. Yes, I did just say that! I don't root for them, but I can sincerely say that they have never scared me. I know some people are worried about the record books, but I'm not. The Williams' have not "divided and conquered us" which is what the Caste media/system is all about.

I recognize that black broads can be a threat to our race, but the Williams' aren't one of those threats in my view. They aren't desirable. This goes without saying, but the media's true wetdream is black domination of the mens' game. My impression is that some of the media have already recognized the "diminishing returns" from their worship of the Williams sisters, and have thus moved toward their "wetdream" in the previous sentence.

I can easily avoid the marketing of the Williams' because they don't seem to be in much commercials these days. They are in the commercials with the Manning brothers, but that's about all I can remember as far as recent advertising.

I hope the DWFs whocheer the Williams sisters are that small minority who have the best seats at the Open. You know the type--they and their sons attended elite prep schools at which there were, at most, one or two blacks. theypromote black tennis because it makes them feel "enlightened". Since Blake is a bust, they have to support the williamses, the tennis equivalentof the Tiger phenomenon.

About the number of dwfs,I don't know---I still fear that we haven't turned the corner yet, and that the number of DWFs isstill rather large: the collective effect of the media and the overall decline of manners in tennis.In 1970, Serena Williams would have been summarily dismissed fromtournament play (perhaps forever) for her ghetto behavior.

We'll know we have turned the corner when the white fansroutinely boo herthuggish, unsportmanlikebehavior and cheer unbashedly for her white opponent. She has a thin skin--if aten person group of hecklers keepsafter her, she just might fold like a cheap suit in every major.

The defeat of Federer is regrettable. If he had won, it would have punctuated the fact that the world's most dominant athlete isFederer, not TigerWoods.

That said, there is a silver lining. When Federer fades (after winningyet more majors, of course) we have another great white star waiting in thewings. Fed, Del Potro, Nadal--- in men's tennis,blackshavebecomeeven more irrelevant.

It was a great open--Kim is back, and she's inspiring Justine to make a come back; we have great fresh faces in Wozniack and Oudin. And the russians will recover. All of this is bad news for the Williamses.

Ain't it great? It's the end of the major season for 2009, and they both ended with neither Tiger nor the Williams sisters winning.Edited by: Solomon Kane

I've heard a few complaints on sports talk radio and PTI over the past couple of years over the apparent lack of interest in the Williams sisters accomplishments. TV ratings have been poor for the most recent all-Williams sisters finals and nobody talks about them the way they do about Federer ("best ever" etc).

 

[Matra1]

I won't link to it but there was a snarky article in a US MSM publication during the Open about Melanie Oudin's popularity being an example of the "great white hope" sentiment of white America.

Taki has a good post contrasting the coverage of Billie Jean King and Margaret Court. An excerpt:

But this is not why I'm annoyed when the TV cameras zero in on BJ King and the cheer-leading commentators start mouthing their usual clichés: icon, legend, champion of champions, and so on. My reason is that the kudos belong to someone else, not to King, or her fellow lesbian Martina Navratilovaâ€"who receives almost as much praiseâ€"but to a quiet, self-effacing Australian lady by the name of Margaret Court. Margaret was born in 1942 in New South Wales, and dominated tennis from 1960 to 1973, when she retired. It was Margaret Court who Riggs beat a year before the King match in what was called the battle of the sexes. (Making me even more suspicious about the King match). But now read this: Court won 24 Grand Slam titles, more than any other man or womanâ€"Federer holds the men's record at 15â€"followed by, Steffi Graf with 22, Helen Wills Moody with 19, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova with 18 each, Billie Jean King with 12, and Serena Williams with 11.

Court won 11 Australian Opens, 3 Wimbledon titles, 5 French Opens, and 5 U.S. Opens. So then, why is Court totally ignored by the media elite and the countless sponsored tennis tournaments around the globe? It's an easy question to answer. Margaret Court, whom I knew when I was on the circuit and like very much, committed the unpardonable sin in the mid-Seventies by renouncing her Catholic religion and becoming a Pentecostal and subsequently a minister of that church. Worse, she openly declared that she was anti-abortion and that the women's game was full of lesbians preying on young players. She stated that Navratilova and King encouraged such behavior.

On a similar note I find it annoying that none of the courts at the USTA Tennis Center are named after white males. The complex itself is named after Billie Jean King. Arthur Ashe is the main court. Even Louis Armstrong - a singer! - has an important court named after him. What about all the great white male players - excluding Mac the Mouth - and non-lesbian white female players?

Yeah, and on shows like PTI, they have whined about Anna Kournikova's endorsements and her making a lot of money with modeling and such.

Interesting how the Caste uses a certain argument when it comes to Whites like, "You should have to achieve something first before getting lucrative endorsements" -- but it's "alright" when blacks that are just drafted by the NBA or NFL receive lucrative endorsements and many commercials (and are proclaimed "instant stars" via ESPN the RAGAZINE) before even stepping on the "professional" field or court!

I'm still waiting for the Matt Ryan commercials. I've only seen Drew Brees in like 1 commercial... Nothing to see here.

 

[Don Wassall]

Some quotes from Andre Agassi on Serena Williams' freakout:
"Certainly, what she did was beyond out of line. It was quite despicable.

Of her "apology," in which Williams blamed her actions on being an "intense competitor" Agassi said: "That is not an excuse for the lack of accountability that should exist with actions like that. It's one thing to argue an issue on the court. It's another thing to threaten a person. And that's a line that shouldn't be crossed. In life, some of our darkest moments can be our finest, depending on what we choose to do with it. . . I know one thing for sure. It'd be really hard for me to live with myself if I didn't continually express my deepest regrets for how I conducted myself."

Oh, and in other news, on Monday, Tampax announced that it signed Williams for its October ad campaign, called "Outsmart Mother Nature." [no, it's not a joke; such is how the corporate-run Caste System works]

OMG. Are they all but endorsing PED usage. Fetish pornography...
