Yes, folks...those nasty Australian racists have insulted a petulant, narcissistic and self centred tennis player, who happens to be BLACK and a FEMALE.
Oh, the humanity...

Oh, and just to demonstrate how national broadcasters, in this case the BBC, are in reality tribunes for socialist issues, here's a side piece about "racism".
//https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45476500
Take a look at the "journalist's" name.
They don't report news. They write opinions because somewhere deep inside their fevered brain a thought manifests itself that says "My opinion is more important than theirs...thus I shall express it within the reach of a global "news" organisation".
The media are complicit in political ideology, and we would do well to ignore much of what it proclaims.
This is how bad it is in America now (edit: and the UK too apparently). If a black person stubs their toe or gets wet when its raining it has to be because of waycism, and if they're a female its sexism too.
The cancer of progtardism has taken over the sports media as well as the regular media.
And it's not just the cartoon, they even said the umpire was racist and sexist because he called things some other judges don't at times , like the fact (acknowledged by the coach) that her coach was giving her hand signals on the sidelines, which is against the rules. But who benefitted from these calls? Her opponent who is also a minority (japanese and Haitian) and of course also a woman. So stupid.
And Who was treated badly? check the beginning of the video--To add to the display of bad sportsmanship Serena Williams fans booed poor Naomi Osaka at the trophy ceremony, so bad she covered her face and cried. (to her credit williams put her arm around osaka to comfort her and told the crowd no more booing) the tennis association representative heaped praise on Serena William as if she were the winner and said straight out it was not the result she wanted. Further on in the video Osaka even apologized for winning(@6 minutes). She is the one who was treated badly, not williams.
Williams had a meltdown and acted badly but she's not the first, IMO the bigger villains in all this, were her fans, and as usual, the everything-is-racism-and-sexism progs and their progtard media.

I'm not following or reading up about this story. What exactly is the case?
All I see on social media is pics of her being angry and titles about sexism?
The conduct of the crowd was despicable...and the biggest insult to the winner.
Tennis...rich people drama.
Rich, spoilt brats. If Catholicism is the go-to for paedophiles and sexual predators, tennis is the preferred environment for selfish, arrogant, unsportsmanlike brats. I fail to understand why they think they are entitled to behave like assholes when the pinnacle of their self-actualisation is hitting a rubber ball over a net.
We revere and reward these idiots far too much.

She was a poor sport and played the sexism card.
And because an Australian cartoonist called her on it, he's a RACIST!!!

A typical cartoon.
The good thing is this has gone around the world because of the prog hysteria.
I wonder if she'll come to Oz next year for the Australian Open.

If she can make lots of money, she will be there.
Better make sure that referee is available too, then.
Its embarrassing to watch rich people's behaviour sometimes...
Getting rich by hitting a rubber ball over a net does not make you classy. Or refined.

I know Berry.....they think they are entitled to act badly.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – A controversial cartoon of Serena Williams that has been widely condemned as a racist depiction of the tennis great has been partially reprinted on the front page of the Melbourne-based newspaper that initially published it.
The Herald Sun newspaper printed an edited portion of the cartoon - featuring 23-time Grand Slam winner Williams jumping on a broken racket during her dispute with a chair umpire in the U.S. Open final - among caricatures of other famous people Wednesday under the headline ''Welcome to the PC World.''
The newspaper has defended its cartoonist Mark Knight's depiction of Williams and is asserting the condemnation, which has come from all parts of the world, is driven by political correctness.
''If the self-appointed censors of Mark Knight get their way on his Serena Williams cartoon, our new politically correct life will be very dull indeed,'' the paper printed on its front page.[/quote]
Cool. I love it when people refuse to back down when the political correctness nazis try to bully them into silence. :thumbup:
