so your argument is it that he shouldn't have punished her or the next time he refs a male game, he should punish the males for similar offense

1) Calling someone clueless is not an insult.
2) There are guidelines to issue warnings. It's not at the umpire's discretion.
3) The umpire docked Serena a game for her calling him a thief and demanding an apology from him. This same umpire has been called far worse by Male players and he didn't dock them.

The question is why is it ok for men to say terrible things to the umpire but women are punished for saying less terrible things?

If that's not sexism then what is it?
Please give us examples of when this same umpire was insulted by male players and he didn't do anything

The Umpire was selectively following the rules and docking Serena a game for calling him a thief was the umpire trying to make the game about himself.


Osaka's coach was also coaching during the game but she wasn't warned.
That's a very big lie, Osaka's coach didn't coach her during the game, stop making up stories to defend Serena's unprofessional and uncouth behaviour

Slamming racket not for verbal violations.
Serena was docked a game for verbal violations. This same guys abused him and he didn't penalize them for abusing him.

None was for verbal violations and that's the point.


Also from the article

Ramos has also been accused of inconsistencies. At this year’s Wimbledon quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori both players threw their rackets to the ground in frustration. However, only Djokovic was issued a warning and directed a comment at the umpire during the game: “

Sexism would be a bit difficult to stick, she should have tried racism. Dumb clown.

It was the referee that helped you smash your racket on the floor.

She's claiming she was victimised cos she's a lady. The small girl that beat her is male, abi?
Nonsense and ingredients.

Serena should retire, she's making a global mockery of her legacy and is constituting a nuisance.

You won’t understand by what she meant with the word “sexism” because you’re not used to used to the lawn tennis games

I don't know why black people always do this thing: fall into the angry black person stereotype. They make other black people look bad.
Females are the worst culprit of this phenomenon. If they don't get things their way they go into a fit of rage, consuming all the blacks around them, targeting black males the most. I have seen this happen time and time again and fallen a victim also.
I thought having a white husband, half white child and rubbing shoulders with white people will erase this character from Serena. I see it remains. Blacks are a lost cause.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself. This is the same comments white men used to make when she was beating their blue eyed princesses.

Serena has earned the right to make her comments. She is the greatest female tennis player ever, and I guess no one in your whole family has achieved 1% of what she has.

And this is inspite of the extreme racism black tennis players have had to endure.


23 grand slams and counting. We need that 24thr title to remove that Australian woman from the records.

It’s going to be tough to get to 24 but somehow she will make it.

For those who can’t reason properly, this is Serena’s 2nd final since returning from child birth - which in itself is an inspiration for all working mothers worldwide.





You're just typing with emotions.
The same unreasonable emotions she couldn't control that got her into undue mess.
I watched the game yesterday, and Naomi was a far better player.
Calm, calculative and was hitting it right.
Serena was under pressure to win, so many celebrities came to watch her, and she buckled under the pressure.
How can you justify her calling a Chair umpire a thief?
In football, that's a Red card straight.
She got coaching from her team, smatched her racket, and called the umpire a thief. That's so much disrespect to a sport that made her.

Whatever she's looking forward to achieving in her career shouldn't be to the detriment of another person's career.
Her actions has put a lot of pressure to a renowned umpire, Ramos' career, and that is not fair.

She's not playing the "sexist card", the umpire is sexist.
Male players say far worse things than "thief".

And by the way, Nadal and Djokovic have accused this same umpire of being selective when it comes to enforcing rules.

http://amp.idahostatesman.com/latest-news/article218060590.html

You needed to have watched that game live.
She was rude and disrespectful.
She's just playing a stupid victim card.
Naomi was way better than Serena in that match, so she was under a whole lot of pressure.
She's been in the game a long time to know the rules.
That other people stole cars and got away with it doesn't mean if you steal a bicycle you should get away with it too, no matter the gender.

It was a terrible Serena that I saw yesterday - terrible in character and game play.

There is a level of understanding you should have about any competition:

Talk C.Ronaldo, L.Messi, and any other star player, there's an aura of respect for a champ.
Even when emotions go hot, you cannot just give any of these guys a Red Card just like that.

When, you hear her (Serena) saying "You know me...", it has gotten to the height of disrespect, so why should you do this kind of thing to me - knowing that the service was mine, you gave it to Osaka! because you CLAIMED I was getting coaching by the sidelines!

That's like way, way too high disrespect.
The guy will still apologize later, but the whole thing was to make Osaka "look" like the better player, (she was, actually but not by the umprie adding disrespect to Serena)!
They just did MK-Ultra (mind control) for Serena.
Period!



No matter the aura you exude as a top player, you're not above the rules.
Ronaldo, Messi, Zidane etc have all gotten justifiable Red cards in their careers, and in some crucial matches too.

She got a in-game coaching from her coach - code violation: warning.
She was broken in her Service game, so she broke her racquet - code violation: point deduction.
She called an umpire a THIEF - code violation: game loss.

Naomi Osaka was better than her throughout the match.
Serena was obviously having high expectations, so she buckled under.

I watched the game live, and I was so disappointed.

She's just whipping up sentiments with the sexism, racism rants.

She was beaten fair and square by Osaka.
Re: US Open Final: Serena Williams Accuses Umpire Ramos Of 'Sexism' by Holymann(m): 1:02am On Sep 10, 2018
Serena claims she wasn't being coached, her coach on the other hand said he was coaching her.
WTF do i believe
Was Ramos the umpire the last time she was beaten by Osaka??

I never cared about who won but the better player won and that was Naomi....but a black person should not call Serena a MAN -that was the reason for my response

and yes,I get emotional about that ,so what. Don't we all get emotional about our soccer teams.

You talk about Serena throwing tantrums..wow..who goes down without a fight...that is what made her win 23 grand slams. How many rackets did Jimmy conor smash in his days,or John Mcenroe

hey, lets revisit a real fight


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKiGviq3rjs

lets look back in history and find out how one woman won 23 grand slams ---No Nigerian has even won one!!!!!

https://www.cbssports.com/tennis/news/serena-williams-grand-slam-history-how-she-got-to-23-and-whats-at-stake-in-us-open-final/


no disrespect to Naomi but serena won her first title when she was 18 --Naomi is 20 and she would soon come up against another phenom in the name of coco

Re: US Open Final: Serena Williams Accuses Umpire Ramos Of 'Sexism' by nonjebose(m): 5:26am On Sep 10, 2018
I have watched the video replay of her coach stylishly giving her instructions. That she even took so much time remonstrating with him, albeit denying what was evident is surprising. That the umpire did not overlook her racket breaking and continued outburst with name calling ( which led to the game deduction) should not have made so unruly. She has been an icon, so much more is expected of her
