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?

na wa o. who should issue the warning. her coach was going against the rules she was sanctioned, she hit her bat on the floor she was sanctioned, she called the umpire a thief and asked him to apologize, for what. for following the rules, is Serena too big for the rules if she is then she should resign.
the question should be did the umpire follow the rules which is yes (if u understand tennis rules).
players get away with some critical decisions every time and some don't get away. even in football in all sport. this same Serena has gotten away with some faulty decision in the past.

her coach has admitted that he cheated so what are u defending. she should apologize to Osaka for taking away her shine with irrelevant controversy.

michaelbiz:
Serena lost. And she's not arguing about the loss. The disrespect was 'sexist' in nature. That's the matter.
No champ deserves to be treated to the point of getting her angry on a big game.
MK Ultra did the job, bro.

of getting her angry, this ur line is funny. she should learn to control her emotions. not all refs or umpire gives a damn about who u are. the umpire followed the rules and stuck to it.

AZeD1:
1) The fact that you are asking if Osaka is a man show's how clueless you are.
2) It is not at the discretion of the umpire to issue warnings. There are rules and the rules should apply to everyone equally.

I knew u would surely follow the insult line, I would not follow u to the mud.

whose discretion is it to issue warnings, what rule did the umpire break.

michaelbiz:
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!

so she deserved whatever she got?

michaelbiz:
picture for words!

very funny, so u want to use this picture to judge his decision

AZeD1:
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

is Osaka a man? its just like saying a refree in a football match gave a player a red card in a match and in another match of similar offence he gave another player a yellow card. its at the discretion of the refree or umpire to issue whatever warning he deems fit.

michaelbiz:
if you did, then listen:

The thought of losing an important match to a fair opponent gladdens your heart.
But, to think that an umpire will make a change of judgement because she's a woman making that call, broke her heart. In a masculine self, what Serena is saying is, it would not have happened!

She wanted a fair final; and the umpire just made it look different.
Nobody's going to like that. Not a champ!

did the umpire tell her he made whatever change of judgement because she is a woman. she was speaking based on emotions

michaelbiz:
are you sure you read this story?

yes

Williams calm down, accept the loss. Its appalling when women play the sexist card when decision don't favour them, and she played against another female, not even a male. fighting for women right is Osaka not a woman.



so many people replying on sentiments, Serena disrespected the umpire one of the best in tennis. calling him a thief and try to tarnish his hard earned reputation and asking the umpire to apologize, imagine such arrogance.

she should be the one to apologize to the ref who followed the rules irrespective of who she is and Osaka for taking her shine on the day with useless controversy.

Nigeria is currently under plague

you destroy BH facilities in the forest while they takeover towns. smh

makarafi I want to hear justice, not peace. we can't just act like nothing has happened before. the perpetrators must be jailed or sentenced to death

God look at the 19th century tank. smh. Nigeria is doomed.

Nigerians have never been this electorally enlightened since 1960, thanks to the maladministration of APC and buhari.
Voters registration was high but not these devilish figures Inec is dishing out daily

Juliusmalema:
Bianca should go to Enugu and contest...

An ngwo woman from Enugu coming to take elective position in anambra.....

She is mad.

in as much as she is qualified to be elected, I see no reason why Uba should step down for her because she is ojukwu's wife.

why should Uba step down for Bianca.

Nigeria is doomed, we are already practicing confederalism, and not federalism.

Its obvious Nigerian politics is now about personal and ethnic interest and not national interest, so what's the need of remaining together as one country. This country must be divided.

Biya your days are numbered

the war is already over, just that America can't just leave because they have already been defeated by the Russians as Assad is going nowhere. the moment America forget the shame and leave quietly all those so called FSA and co would bow for Assad.

which crisis, the only crisis I see is that there would be more suffering. better for buhari to win again than kwankwaso winning.
yes Atiku is the only liberal and disciplined candidate.

if this is true then fashola should be ashamed of himself, seems ambode got more balls than him.

with all the properties tinubu has acquired all over Lagos, one begins to wonder what he wants. probably to become Mansur Musa at the disadvantage of Lagosians.

the guy was the most qualified and most visible, how fela won is a mystery, but just like he said "the arrangement had unravelled even before the final selection of consensus candidate" usual Nigerian style, winner already selected even before voting. smh

I just pray all these leaders rushing to visit the illiterate try as much as possible to leave something for Nigerians, because buhari might hand over Nigeria to these foreigners without him knowing. Every European power is scrambling to get their own share of Nigeria, because a dullard knows nothing he is doing.

Rich4god:
Say what you know... His focus is his homeland cos that's what the leaders of the state agreed on. The state was divided into 3 zone, Udi, Nkanu and Nsukka. Each to rule for 8 years.. Started with Chimaroke. Under him, UNTH was moved to Agbani, Esut was also moved to Agbani. Sullivan came and did his own, now it's the turn of Nsukka zone that's how Ugwuanyi came into the picture, to develop Nsukka. And the zone have to rule for 8 years, that's why even the opposition party have to field a candidate from that zone too.

well said, from the time of chimaroke all, everything Enugu was moved to agbani, air force college, Esut, Unth, his own private school, mea mater university and secondary school, even a Madonna university satellite is now in agbani. if chimaroke had the opportunity to move UNN or Nsukka as a whole to agbani he would have done that, Sullivan even tried for Nsukka a bit, bit he focused on Enugu metropolis. Now a Nsukka man is in power. less than 4 years people are lamenting.

God bless Ugwuanyi, God bless Enugu State.

CNN.. fake news (Democrats) outlets. Trump the talkative s.

indirectly mocking buhari the Londoner.

Britain has contributed to the high rate of poverty in Nigeria, supporting lifeless, myopic and unintelligible leaders into power that would always do their bidding since 1960. stealing oil from the ND and giving peanuts to the governments. useless neocolonialist power.

40 percent of these names still have PDP in their heart .. some might have decamped to act as spies, some Efcc issues, like Sullivan, am sure if PDP wins he would decamp again.

there is no leadership in Nigeria, No political party, why we have is political club.

thank God for saraki/ekweremadu senate.

we need to hear from Hercules polls first before we concur

well said

phase1:
I thought APC said the East are less than 5% of the population who are irrelevant? Why the hustle for Eastern defectors?

well it was said to service egos.
