Pretty extensive history of the racism Serena encountered in tennis, and by the tennis media. Off the top of my head:
— Indian Wells
— Sid Rosenberg saying Venus and Serena Williams would be better suited to pose for National Geographic than Playboy
— Don’t get me started on the numerous examples of the inappropriate way Serena’s body has been discussed
— People losing their mind when Serena crip-walked
— Maria Sharapova being positioned as the face of tennis through marketing and endorsements, despite her embarrassing record against Serena and not being early as accomplished.
— The cartoon that appeared in Australia’s Herald Sun (see below)
While Serena is beloved (now), Bill Maher is acting as if she hasn’t been constantly subjected to racist and sexist attacks throughout her career.
I told my wife this last night.
If there was EVER a fan bases that deserves to be the first to experience the bad end of a 3-0 comeback
It's fucking Boston.
Greene: Mr. Fauci. You’re not a doctor. You’re Mr. Fauci.

Greene: I don’t need your answer. He doesn’t deserve to have a license. He belongs in prison!
For everyone that is upset about what @ChennedyCarter “did” to CC….dont forget what y’all corn kids were cool with just a few months ago. Clark let everyone know the type of player she was, her reputation (good and bad), proceeds itself. Quit crying. #WNBA
The fact that Pilates was rebranded into a workout for healthy/wealthy yt women is...
Joseph Pilates created Pilates in a prison for sick prisoners. AND it was his understudy, Kathy Stanford Grant (a black woman) that refined it. She was an acclaimed choreographer.
