The Serena Williams controversy

Why is almost everyone giving her a pass? That she did the behaviors is not in question. Hey the men get away with it or more really pointing fingers does not work. "Hey officer 95% of speeders get off so you cannot write me that ticket". Yeah that will work well likely not. He is being painted as sexist because of it when he might not be more lenient on men or sexist. In fact, maybe he should file a defamation suit because she directly claimed he was. You cannot just lob grenades.

Another aspect is the chosen insult thief. The man is a Spaniard that is a very very grave insult to them. It seems premeditated to me. Everyone thinks she is innocent. She acted very poorly and deserved being punished under the rules. Now if he overstepped, then I would be against what he did. She acts like a diva and gets away with it mostly. This seems to be a case of I am Serena Williams you cant do that to me, one of ego and hubris.

 "I have a daughter!"

Well, your outbursts and temper are a fine example to her.

She is a tennis star she went after the referee when he docked her a point for a violation. She threw down her racket and stomped on it among other things.

 Why is almost everyone giving her a pass? ..... Maybe because she's been popular for so long. Too bad this nonsense is taking the spotlight off Naomi Osaka for winning.

Hey the men get away with it ..... But with different Referees? Has this Ref reffed men's Tennis games? How did he rule, if he did? I don't know.

He is being painted as sexist .... Sure. When women want their own way in public, they scream , a man is a "Sexist", an "Abuser", or a "Misogynist". Women have figured out , using such claims ,these claims make the complaining woman almost untouchable.

She acted very poorly and deserved being punished under the rules. .... I agree.

That may be true and it may be true that others have done worse and maybe got away with it, but it still is no excuse for poor behavior. Using it as an excuse to not be punished is a very weak argument yet many are doing just that.
