Whatever is wrong with this girl though? trust me, her running to social media to announce all wiz is not doing for their son is silly. Reason why you should not open those legs for every guy that comes your way - get married first, heck! you know the pros and cons of getting pregnant out of wedlock yet you still engaged in unprotected sex with a guy and you expected some kind of monthly child support. I am not supporting Wiz but if you are willing to sleep with a guy who is not your husband, then be ready for whatever comes your way.
and is it all husbands that pay school fees?

How many men have been penalized by Ramos for verbal abuse?
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

In coaching is cheating and she was penalized. She demanded an apology. It lead to her opponent serving out that set. If you understand tennis, you will know players recover. During the second set, when she did not get her apology, she lost it and called the man a lair and a thief. The game was handed to her opponent and she gave up. That was why the official was boo.if you know tennis, she was treated unfairly.
lol and you know tennis? Because I don't think you do.....you should probably go and check the rules again. In football, when fans violate who suffers? Think about that then get back to me

I don't live and breathe on Nairaland, but I'm a very good sport punter; but to think you can use one red card to justify Ronaldo's case which in no way resembles the situation pitched against Serena in this case is very unforgivable.

I don't think you have a complete understanding of the word "fair-play".
and you do? That is just an example.....a lot of players big or not get penalised on a regular for violating the rules. And I was using Ronaldo's case to point out a flaw in your argument.....which is why I pointed to you that your analogy was wrong

I do not support sexist remarks. We are all equals as for as to our natural abilities can carry. Hence our favoring of capitalist system.


But i respect serana, she has done great for the sport. A source of great pride to blacks and women in general.

What I think was that she is trying to show us her integrity in the sport. Her years of service and honesty. Such a cheating decision can easily tarnish her reputation. It's not about the points deducted. She can easily have gone on to loose that game anyway. But to assume she cheats is what she is fighting against maybe.

Like I said it may not be about a single game but her whole life's work. It's not fair. This is were i stand with her. She should have been giving the benefit of doubt.

We cannot always fight people's after thoughts on issues. Whatever reasons people choose to justify their unfair treatment is not important. Just try not to treat them unfairly first.

You can't slap me and tell me how to react.

Respect her contribution to the sport. Don't tarnish her image. She is almost rounding up anyway.
what is integrity.....the babe is a bloody liar or the coach is mad issuing instructions for almost 5 seconds to someone that wasn't looking and then nodding as a sign of acknowledgement....she even admits to seeing thumbs up

Please we are not fools.....

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?
he didn't dock her a game for calling him a thief....he docked the game because it was her third violation.....which is the rule third violation= 4 points = 1 game

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!
Ronaldo was given a red in the Spanish super cup minutes after coming in.....Sergio Ramos gets red on a regular.....bad analogy.....if you disrespect the ref in football you get booted.....if it was a football match Serena should be on her 10th violation as at when she got the 3rd

The accusation was that she was cheating. That her coach was making signs to her. How did the came to that? How did she determined that Serena was listening and acting on those instructions? This is not the did time she will be losing a championship match largely due to officiating error
the umpire never said she was cheating....he said the coach was issuing instructions (whether she saw or acted on it is inconsequential. We don't expect her to admit she did) which is a violation of the rules of the game.

If Serena loses she was well beaten......if you understand tennis.... officials have no influence over the game.....just ensure u don't violate laid down rules

charliboy654:
Pure hatred for someone ten times more successful than u, even when Osaka was interviewed she said she is and still is a very big fan of Serena and she knew how much Serena needed to win this game to break a record of 24 Grand Slam.
and what is your definition of success? Did I tell you I want a grand slam? Or that I throw tantrums when I lose? Osaka is a big fan because she is matured or were you expecting her to say something bad about Serena.

But just to satisfy you.....I retract my initial statement and replace it with "I hope karma deals her a good one"

Cheers

Huh, broke who?? Its obvious u don't follow Serena's style of play, She always makes a come back, She lost a set 6-0 in this same US Open and came back to win, You do know she was leading in the second set 3-1 before the violations and emotions totally destabilized her.

I'm not taking the win from Osaka, trust me she was magnificent and it has to be said, I just wish it wasn't marred with so much controversy becos she will always remember her very first grand slam.
bla bla bla.....Osaka beat Serena earlier.....and if they play 20 more times she will come out victorious...... Serena is vile and selfish.....ended up ruining Osaka's moment. Luckily the poor girl was a much better person and more mature.....even had to apologise for another person's folly. I hope Serena never gets another grand slam.....she is evil

Stop harping on the rules because what is clearly good for the goose is good for the gander, I don't mind her being penalized, but the code violations were a step too far for something so meagre, especially at a grand slam final when fines have usually been the norm.
Did the official do any wrong? If she had an issue she should have played tennis and forgotten the rants.

But what did she do when she REALISED she was going to lose.

All she wanted to do was create a reason to excuse her failings but unfortunately you guys are guzzling up her rubbish.

Funny how no one is talking about rules that were broken or who deserved to win on balance of play

go back and read full details what the coach said
done that and? He says he is doing what other coaches do and?

THE RULES ARE THE RULES.

In football teams get fined for fan behaviours

So how is that different.....whether she wanted coaching or not her coach offered it. Rather than rant at the umpire why didn't she rant at the coach for causing her a code violation. Note: a code violation. No point deduction no code deduction


A sensible person will tread carefully after that

It is like a footballer that get a warning but then goes on to make another senseless tackle or stupid reaction

She got coaching of the game, Sascha also did same to Osaka during the match but was overlooked or wasn't noticed by the umpire, he clearly statedshowed a double standard for singling Williams out for something "when 100% of the coaches in 100% of the matches" are doing the same thing.

She smashed her racket which isn't a new thing, They all do both male and females alike, they get warnings

She abused the umpire, Ramos has been called worse things than a thief by male counterparts, even the "F" world has been hurled at him, they got warnings.

Novak Djokovic went on a furious tantrum at Ramos during Wimbledon this year, and was not issued a game violation. Djokovic was upset that he received a violation for scraping his racket on the grass during his outburst, while opponent Kei Nishikori did not.

At the 2017 French Open, a furious Rafael Nadal told Ramos off about the time warnings he was receiving

And in 2016, Australian Nick Kyrgios - whoumpirell-known for his on-court outbursts - went on an expletive-laced rant at Ramos, one of several disputes he's had with the umpire
listen to yourself.....the question is were the decisions wrong or not?

Because what you are fighting for is that she shouldn't have got punished rather than others should get punished when they violate

That shows double standard on your and her part.

The rules are the rules don't cry wolf when it is enforced

And this same Serena has gone on this type on tantrum in other occasion where she wasn't cautioned after the initial caution....and coincidentally in those occasions she was being outclassed

This was a controversial match.. my take is whoever or what ever party didn't want to see Serena win this US open... she has never won on US soil.. it has nothing to do with her opponent her fans booed cos they saw what went wrong. every game has it cheat mode. she just fell for this and her emotions came to play.For those out of place saying she should go and rest or retire or why she is pained should tighten their seat belt and wait in vain cos that ain't gonna happen. The dump asses only made her over popular.
the match had no controversy.....any controversy was caused by her....even her coach has admitted he was giving her instructions....she only ranted because of what the press might say the next day "cheating Serena beaten by 20yr old" imagine talking about women rights and how she just had a baby........you people should be wise enough to know when someone is whipping up sentiments


And she has won several times on US soil

From the comments alone, I can deduce that a lot of members on this forum are very much ignorant.
I'm pretty sure none of y'all actually watched the game. And to top it off someone is here suggesting she should go home and look after the family.
and you that watched it what do you have to say.....that you love an athlete doesn't mean you try to circumvent the rules

She got coaching.....rule of the game...warning

She smashed her racket....rule of the game....2nd violation and point deduction

She abused an umpire....rule of the game....3rd violation and game deduction

If she continued.....she would have forfeited the game

He didn't say he won't provide VIN. Don't start your 'author of confusion' attitude here.

He said anyone can have it upon inspection.
And I believe a single call or whatsapp chat can get a serious buyer the VIN.

Go tell Seun to make it a rule and criteria for advertising on Nairaland. Aside that you have no say!
This is not your father's compound

And sorry, did you say people should not patronise him?
Eeya, so that way, he won't sell his car.... Thats a narrow thinking.
why will anyone want to hide vin.....it seriously beats me. No valid reason why.

I can as well contact the seller and post the vin he gives me. But that will be a waste of my time, which is what I try to avoid by requesting the vin be posted.

There is a guy selling an accidented car and his vin is stated there. If u want the car you buy if you don't move on.

I have had to waste so much money getting a car because of the dishonest practices of a lot of car sellers here. Spending money on mechanics for cars I wouldn't have bothered with if the sellers had been straight forward.

Anyways whoever has the time to deal with things like this, goodluck to the person
