TL:DR - The hamster quickly reframed the issue from on-court coaching and code violations into a woman's victim issue, totally throwing out the rulebook. Talk of sollipsism and shaming tactics!
Tennis is one of the best sports you can watch if you want to know what great champions are made of. A lot of masculine lessons can be learnt from it - mental strength, dealing with one emergency after another, what to do when things don't go your way, how to live right on the limit of controlled power and intensity, what separates the greatest from the merely very good, and more. The mind of a player is palpable in a match. It's an individual sport, so you're responsible and can't blame anyone else.
A peculiar thing about tennis is that, even the tiniest percentages in performance make for a very significant difference as seen on court, matches have been lost where the first player had match points and couldn't close it out, and the 2nd fought back. Close matches can be separated by as little as 1 point in 150, and the best players do that extra part consistently better than others.
So tennis is in fact one of the best sports to highlight the differences between men and women, where the 15-20% difference between men's and women's at peak performance (we're comparing the best of both, not the median or mode, otherwise that gap would be a lot bigger) can put them in 2 other universes of performance. Just watch John Isner serving at less than full power against WTA players as an example.
So for a change, I watch the US Open women's final yesterday. Half way through, Serena's coach is accused of coaching during play and the umpire Carlos Ramos gives her a code violation for receiving coaching during the match (her coach actually admitted to it btw and hamstered that 'everyone does it' - so this wasn't just pulled out of the umpire's ass). Later on she got another penalty for racket abuse as well and finally a 3rd one that cost her a game for yet another spat. As per the rules, a second violation gives you a point penalty and a 3rd consecutive one gives a game penalty. A 4th (which didn't happen) is disqualification from the match.
Just open up Youtube and see for yourself what happened after the 2nd penalty.
She went nuclear, basically accused the chair umpire of insulting her character (projection), calling him sexist, a liar, a thief, partial to men doing worse things (nope, I've been watching men's tennis, and even Nick Kyrgios isn't this bad, and yes men do get penalized).
She makes it into an issue of her being a woman and being black and what not, threatens the umpire that she'll ruin his career and that he owes her an apology. Eventually when everything failed, she starts the waterworks - makes it all about discrimination and victimhood (the ego loves victimhood, it's the hamster's best weapon), that she's a mother and has a daughter, wow. And when it was all over she claimed that she'll continue fighting for equality.
“I just feel like the fact that I have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions, and that want to express themselves, and want to be a strong woman. They’re going to be allowed to do that because of today,” Williams said. “Maybe it didn’t work out for me, but it’s going to work out for the next person.” -- that's what the issue of on court coaching finally got re-framed into.
She also melted down in 2009 after the umpire gave her a double fault for stepping over the line while serving, and was disqualified for threatening the line judge.
Men usually argue with line calls, late challenges, time violations on serve, medical timeouts, illogical decisions and things related to the game. Usually men smash rackets (like Baghdatis, Dimitrov, Safin, and Paire smashed all their spare rackets and forfeited - and for some reason it actually becomes hilarious when overdone).
Women however, always make it about them (sollipsism) and their victim cards.
You know what's worse than this? Check out the twitter reactions. Google highlights these in my search results specifically. The hamsters are unbelievable.
"... Serena Williams didn't have a meltdown. She defended her honor on one of the grandest stages in a sport she's dominated for her entire adult life that continually disrespects her. Don't reduce her justified frustration to sexist behavioral stereotypes ..."
"... (2/2) When a woman is emotional, she’s “hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same, he’s “outspoken” & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same..."
"...The hypocrisy of the umpire to penalize @serenawilliams in a sport that celebrated the antics of John McEnroe and Ilie Nastace is a blatant display of sexism #usopen..." - seriously just how does this shit pass muster?
McEnroe has been disqualified from matches and penalized numerous times. David Nalbandian was disqualified for kicking a line judge (unintentionally yes, but he apologized). Even Federer has been booed for breaking a racket. Andy Murray has melted down a lot until 2016, and he's been plastered for it. Djokovic would have nearly been disqualified from the French open in 2016 (which he eventually won) as his racket came within inches of hitting a line judge. The thing is that the men are aware enough not to get 3 code violations (which results in a game loss).
The worst meltdown I've ever seen was when Victor Troicki went mental over whether or not the ball fell on the line (and even there it wasn't as personal - there was no Hawkeye and it turned out he was right). Safin holds a world record, having smashed nearly a thousand rackets (it sounds funny now though). Hot head Fabio Fognini was kicked out of the US open in 2017 with a $24,000 fine for verbally abusing an umpire (a woman in fact), and lost all his prize money (over $72000) and points as well, and was hit with a 2 grand slam ban (ouch!) - but he apologized later and accepted he'd behaved unacceptably. Nadal is one player who never melts down - he hasn't even broken a racket till date.
However, regardless of what google says, at least Youtube commenters have more sense. The thing here however, is that google search results are becoming biased now. As if the media wasn't enough.
Meanwhile, Osaka, the winner, was reduced to tears at the end despite having won her first grand slam. Well, she's Japanese and shows conventional femininity. The crowd didn't treat her well, and she's not a Djokovic that she can just shrug it off with stoicism.
The umpire, Carlos Ramos, who's officiated both the men's and women's matches at all 4 grand slams, kept frame throughout, didn't say much about it, but admitted he stayed indoors for a few days for his own safety. And he didn't get a shred support from anyone, zero. Well, now they've apologized to him, but the whole apology thing was 'hush-hush', behind closed doors, nowhere near the publicity level of the comments made to him.
So typical isn't it...AWALT! The umpire argued with a strong independent woman, and the result was spectacular.
And the man got absolutely no support nor sympathy, was called names regardless of his standing and was essentially left to fend for himself. Even the apology wasn't made in public.
And before we say double standards, it takes 3 code violations in a row to be docked a game penalty. If this wasn't Serena's 3rd violation in a row, it wouldn't have happened. So much for rules. Once emotions are involved, women throw out the rule book.
It also serves to prove a point that I first came across in a "A billion wicked thoughts". Women with higher testosterone can often act more masculine and outdo other women, but this also turns them into AWALT on steroids, boosting all their feminine behaviours as well. The result is volatile. I have an aunt who I swear must belong to this category. It's like that girl inside is bottled up and comes out explosively.
And the worst part about tennis isn't even this incident. It's the fact that women get equal pay for playing 3 set matches matches that are shorter than the entire 4th set between Dominic Thiem and Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinal. In fact if I was being truly fair, I say that the fact women don't play 5 set matches means you never see the legendary battles and comebacks that you see in men's tennis, which are on a whole other category of epic and that's the real problem with women's tennis - there are no epic matches. The days of Graf's generation are long gone. Even technically the men are far superior to the women right now as well.
Maria Sharapova or Billie Jean King came up with a shit test that men also need to play only 3 sets in Grand Slams when asked about it, and it doesn't take a genius to understand that this would completely pull down the sport and make grand slams irrelevant. I think BJK even claimed that the AO final between Djokovic and Nadal took a year off their careers -- well, they're still playing at the top. That is what female egalitarianism does to societies in the long run.
I don't hate women players -- I just wanted to point out that AWALT is an inescapable reality despite what an egalitarian society popularly likes to believe in, if anything, in today's climate it's gotten worse. This incident became a good example of what happens when you start arguing with a woman - the issue of on court coaching aside, it very quickly veered off that, descended into shaming tactics, got real personal and another reason to claim victimhood, sexism, etc. And it's very good mileage for the media. This instant ability to reframe an event into victimhood is an excellent tactic, one that totally took the focus away from being a sporting event and into a women's issue and also totally took the focus away from her opponent, who won.
In consolation, there's the men's final between Djokovic and Del Potro tomorrow, and I am sure I will not be disappointed.
EDIT : And it was an excellent final - that 2nd set was longer than the entire women's final! Djokovic is back, and now he's on par with Pete Sampras. He's equivalent to playing against a wall on the other side now that can also attack, with inhuman flexibility and defense - but I wonder when the crowd will ever start to like him.
The only problem with that match? My SJW friend (a girl) posts about Del Potro crying and says "It's ok for men to cry" ... and a bunch of guys totally approve, one even admitting how he's mastered the waterworks. I wrote "Bullcrap" - no reply yet. Society now has gone beyond 'feminine correct' -- it now believes that feminine expressions are the only ones in existence at all.
EDIT : As it turns out, the statistics reveal a completely different story altogether - men players are penalized 3 times as much as women, and outnumber women 8x in the racket smashing department, but in the coaching department, women are penalized twice as much!

SKRedPill 5y ago
And what about the chair umpire? He got no support whatsoever. He's handled the whole thing without losing frame and basically just implemented the rule book (3 violations = 1 game penalty). All the shaming tactics thrown at him.
He eventually spoke of how he didn't go out for a few days for his safety. And since Serena threatened him that he'll not be able to officiate her matches (BS, that does not exist), officials are planning to boycott her matches in the future.
Only ones shouting in favour 5 days down the road are SJWs and BP men.

Even in crying, there is a masculine aesthetic. Dignified, subtle, but powerful,and not for petty things. A man's subtlety is what makes his body language or expressions more powerful (as compared to a child).
Del Potro is quite a softie behind that cannon ball forehand of his. He's been through a lot of career threatening injuries in his 20s, where he should have won a lot more, so every match where he plays and wins matters more to him now than before. Still, he's quite a soft guy type.

halfback910 5y ago
The first half of the post addressed Serena and I'm just going to address that because I pretty much agree with the rest of your post analyzing society's reaction.
I mean, this is what you get at the top tier of athletics or anything else hyper competitive. The people who make it to the top are the most competitive and ambitious generally. When a call is made against them, they take it personally. They get upset, without even needing to go into how their tempers are high because of the physical exertion.
The sad reality is that the best athletes will generally not be the best people. Why do you think the rare exceptions (I don't know, like JJ Watt maybe?) are given such attention. Because they're exceptions. For every JJ Watt or Michael Phelps you're going to have a ton of Serena's and Ryan Lochte's who are proud, arrogant douchebags who yell at referees, vandalize Brazilian gas stations, and do a whole Heavenly Host of other shit we don't approve of.
Getting to the top is bad enough, but staying at the top for a while generally makes it much worse. Osaka was raised in Japan so her culture will have made her more feminine, but even so, give her the number of years Serena has had at the top and I guarantee you it will make her a worse person.
It's why I don't believe we should idolize people who came out on top in meritocratic systems like CEO's and top athletes. Don't get me wrong, I love meritocracy. But the thing about meritocracy is that anything that does not get you to the top in that specific area is a useless hobby for its purposes. Being the CEO of a Fortune 100 won't depend on how good you are at building ships in a bottle or making souffle. Why would it depend on you being a decent human? Same thing applies here.
The former best player in the world lost to the new best player in the world. She's a fantastic athlete but a shitty person so she couldn't accept it. AWALT stands for all women are like that. It can also stand for all winners are like that. Meritocratic systems reward people who forsake hobbies in favor of the merited activity. And being a good person is just a hobby.

The most absurd thing is like you said that there is "equality" in terms of pay between men and women, in my opinion the problem isnt that women play 3 sets as opposed to 5, the problem is that women are away inferior athletes and much worse at tennis, so theres CLEAR "skill inequality". The rank #1000 male tennis player is better than Serena Williams, yet he is paid less than she is, how so? Its incredibly unfair. And shows why this "wage gap" is huge bogus and made up lies. Imagine if Dagenham and Redbridge got paid as much as Tottenham for playing soccer because "muh equality even if one is clearly less qualified than the other" its absolutely pathetic.

Bro. I was at a party yesterday where a woman literally was shouting that all white men are pigs etc. I didn't give a fuck but this other white dude decided that, for some real or another, he must argue with her. He said that this is a massive sexist generalisation.
You know what happened next. Turns out she's half Malay (doesn't look one bit Malay, if you ask me) and decided that was enough to qualify her to bash a general group freely. Long story short, she made zero points to defend her stupidity, started throwing insults and making it awkward for the entire party, and that dude just decided to drop it after I personally told him he had nothing to gain from it (he identified himself as a third wave feminist, whatever that means).
What Serena did was no different. Playing victim has, unfortunately, become a strength. Over time, victimhood will become the common rationale - how much repressed are you by society? You're scored based on your repression - 11 point for being left handed, 35.69 points for being born on the side of the mountain that doesn't see the sunrise, etc. Tallied up, if you get a high score, you're given previleges that you didn't get - so now you can be a doctor and operate on my hernia without getting a license.

Tennis is a sport in which there is not only complete equality for women, but they actually have greater opportunities than men. The number of competitive high school boy players outnumber girls by 25% and yet there are 2.5x more tennis scholarship opportunities for women at the Division I level alone. They genuinely have three times the opportunity that most men do. In the pro level women play best of three in the majors while men play best of five. Still mandated to pay equally for clearly unequal work and regardless of which gender brings in higher ratings (men). Thus it is absolutely fucking ridiculous when female tennis players bitch about anything gender related. Serena cheated and was totally out of line. I feel for Osaka.

That is the right idea, applied incorrectly. They aren't clocking in for a shift at the warehouse.
Pay in pro sports should be based on largely on income generation. If the commercials during the ladies match generate the same amount of revenue then they deserve equal pay. I suspect the women do not generate the same income, but have no interest in flushing out the statistics.

The difference between Youtube and Twitter is that youtube has anonymous up-votes, and in twitter upvotes (retweets or likes) are not anonymous.

Lastly, saying blacks have higher Ts thus making them top athletes is outright silly. Messi and Ronaldo are not black and are currently the best in football. In Tennis, Roger Federer & Rafel Nadal are also not black. There’s never been any super famous black tennis champions but Serena and Vanessa Williams.

You don't have to agree with Serena's post-call choices or any of the reactions on the internet to recognize that the "cheating" call was absolute bullshit.
mysterr9 5y ago
Serena didn't lose the match because of the first code penalty for coaching.
She lost because she was up against a superior competitor, and didn't have the mental and emotional faculties to handle that situation.
As a result, she took a second code infraction for smashing her racquet. And even that didn't stop her from continuing to verbally abuse the chair umpire. If anything, he allowed her ample leeway though the changeover. He only called the third code infraction after she impugned his honesty.

I was addressing the comment from Mr. Tizzle that was deleted. To Serena's credit she didn't try to egotistically hog all of the spotlight resulting from her being called out for a tennis rules violation and childishly smashing her racket, instead she put some effort into putting the spotlight on Osaka, the victor of the tournament.

Isnt there a book about this very thing ( the mental aspects of tennis) called the inner game of tennis?
edit: why the downvotes?
gloop0 5y ago
It’s a great book, but it isn’t exactly about tennis. It’s a book about mastering one’s own mind. Tennis is the backdrop.
mmishu 5y ago
so im wrong in saying its about the mental aspects of tennis?
is the book worth reading? did u gain anything from it?
gloop0 5y ago
I'm not saying you're wrong... but to say that the inner game of tennis is about the mental side of tennis is like saying that zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance is about taking proper care of your motorcycle: not untruthful, but misses the point.
The book is very much worth reading and I highly recommend it. Even if you don't have any interest in tennis. 20+ years after I first read it I still draw from it whenever I'm trying to get better at something.
mmishu 5y ago
what im saying is more analogous to saying zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance is about the meditative practice of maintaining a motorcycle (idk what that books about just saying this would make for a better comparison)
gloop0 5y ago
Right, but neither book is about what a literal reading of their titles would suggest. Each is about something bigger (different somethings) and the authors selected slices of existence within which to talk about it. They could have been the same books in every way which matters with zero mention of tennis or motorcycles, and that is why I say they are not about these things.

Tennis is a great sport to see mentioned here. Federer is an alpha male without fitting the usual over-compensating stereotype we see. He is a man who focuses on honing his craft to absolute insane levels - even when he's on top, he improves. When he got old, he fought even harder to develop his technique. He's a dedicated family man who isn't afraid to show his sensitive side in public. He's also extremely respectful and grounded despite being one of the most successful sportsmen in history.
I really hate Serena turning this into a sexism issue. Men are always hated for their negative behaviours on the court (and for good reason, tantrums are pathetic). Hell in Australia, we pretty much disown players if they're poor sportsmen.
Serena being such a petulant child all the time is basically women being given a test and failing it. She could have embraced the positive traits of masculinity and been a good role model for women. Instead, she displays the worst traits of women for all to see.
I feel so sorry for the girl who defeated her. Imagine achieving such a massive life victory, and having it be massively overshadowed by people claiming that you were handed it.
SKRedPill 5y ago
Federer can be a crybaby when he wins a tournament (till that point he's very stoic), but only because he won and earned his reputation as a legend, and is otherwise as alpha as fuck. That's like one of two occasions where men crying is fine (the other is if someone close to you passed away). Otherwise I always thought he was a bit too sensitive. As a kid he'd cry for any point he lost. After his coach died in an accident, and he woke up, grew up into a man. Now he's the most respected player ever.
I can't imagine a tennis world without someone who can play like Federer. His movement, his shots, they are graceful yes, but very masculine graceful. It shows that there is a masculine aesthetic.
What you say about Serena holds good for a lot of women trying to act like men, if anything it only blows up their feminine behaviours into something very volatile. Too bad for Osaka, she started crying despite winning - at least she still shows normal femininity.

This is the effects of a “girl power” gynocentric society, she thought she was bigger than the game, every word she said dripped with entitlement.
If a male player had attacked a female official like that and gave him a code violation the world would be celebrating her as a strong woman for standing up for herself.
As for equal pay, it’s simply ridiculous, if they want equal pay they need to draw equal numbers, that’s the only way it makes sense for sponsors to invest the same amount of money. Maybe women should switch off the Kardashians and spend their weekends watching sports before they go out and demand an entitlement driven equal pay.
SKRedPill 5y ago
> If a male player had attacked a female official like that and gave him a code violation
Actually it happened to Fabio Fognini in the US Open last year, with a 2 grand slam ban. He called a female umpire a whore and many other abuses in Italian. He was banned from the tournament (singles and doubles), forced to pay a $24,000 fine, lost all his prize money (he lost over a $100 k in total), and had all his points docked.
https://lastwordontennis.com/2017/09/02/fabio-fognini-disqualified-us-open-word-abuse-first-round/
For the hothead he is, he eventually apologized and said that his behaviour was totally unacceptable.
And here's McEnroe being docked a game point for 3 code violations : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGL6AXcbDoo
NeutronStaRP 5y ago
I felt sorry for Osaka. She had the greatest achievement of her life overshadowed by the enormous ego of Williams. First, Williams' behaviour was a disgrace. Journalists are glossing over it somewhat by claiming she called the chair umpire a "thief" - rather, she repeatedly insulted his character and integrity across a number of games, and had a full-blown tantrum. She was later proven to be a liar, which also makes her a cheat.
It goes to show how low society's standards are for women when such people's actions are defended. An umpire who did his job, against sustained bullying and intimidation, who crucially was proven to be right, is held up as the villain while the diva is treated as the victim. Meanwhile, the rightful winner, who thrashed Williams, and just about everyone else she played at the tournament, ends up in tears because a foul woman stole her moment away from her.
Modern women.
bkrugby78 5y ago
I was watching this at a bar (it was the only thing on). Williams behavior was disgraceful. Here you have a woman, who has dominated her sport, has ensured she will be a legend for years on end, and she was losing. Yeah, legends lose sometimes. Sometimes Babe Ruth strikes out, sometimes someone hits a homer off of Nolan Ryan. It happens, but if there is one thing that annoys me most, it's when people are classless in defeat. That is what Williams was, classless. Osaka played her butt off, she idolized this woman, she deserved a helluva lot more respect than what she got. Instead, you get people saying what Williams did was A-OK. Well, it wasn't ok, not at all.
As fans we all complain about the referee's when our team loses. "Ah the referee's botched that call!" It's fine for us as fans, but imagine if some NFL player goes on a massive tirade screaming at a referee. There would be articles calling him a sore loser and crybaby. Serena doesn't get the same treatment, hmm, I wonder why.

Imagine feeling the exhilaration of your first win. And then your second. And then disappointment in yourself at your first big loss, finding the courage to keep going, to get back up, and to fight like hell all the way to the grand final to face off against the person who inspired you to be who you are today. And then to be robbed of the opportunity to win or lose on your merit because the greatest female tennis player to ever live had to have a tantrum.
NeutronStaRP 5y ago
Going off on a tangent a bit, but I think Steffi Graf still has a strong claim to be the best of all-time. While she won fewer grand slams (by 1 at the moment), she was equally dominant on all surfaces, in an era when the transition from clay to grass was much harder than it has been in the last decade. Plus she won every slam in a single year. Maybe I just don't like Serena much, though.
SKRedPill 5y ago
There was an exhibition match of Steffi and Hingis long after Steffi retired (about 6 years back). Her movement and technique are in another category even now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvoUzYhV8fs
Seles had beaten Steffi in raw power, but after that stabbing incident she wasn't mentally the same. Steffi also could have won more, but it took a toll on her knees. She was done by 30 IIRC.
Prison4SideofBeef 5y ago
So Osaka defeated the greatest woman's tennis player of all time to win the US Open at 20 years of age, and did so in such a dominating fashion that she caused Serena to mentally break down.
Sounds like all that hard work paid off. I doubt she feels slighted here.
IkWhatUDidLastSummer 5y ago
She did feel slighted, though. She was apologetic about having won which is absurd. Osaka was in TEARS (and not tears of joy) she was crying because serena and the crowd was against her and the moment had been ruined. Everyone should feel so bad for Osaka. The moment was completely ruined because of this piece of trash woman that is Williams. It shouldve been the greatest moment of her life and it proved to be a disaster.
[deleted] 5y ago
That's a good way to look at it, I suppose. But we have the observer's advantage, I doubt she could have taken that perspective while in the match.
Prison4SideofBeef 5y ago
I'm pretty sure Osaka was simply happy to win the US open and is not concerned with this telenovela the US media is trying to sell.
Serena was melting down because she was getting dominated by a younger and hotter version of herself. So she had to hamster herself in to being a victim of discrimination.
IkWhatUDidLastSummer 5y ago
Youre wrong then, she wasnt "simply happy about winning" she was extremely apologetic about having won, why do you talk about the match if you didnt see it? She cried and apologized to serena (which is beyond absurd when serena should apologize to her) and serena got the crowd to turn on Osaka so Osaka was so sad about the entire match and the fashion she won in. Even though she was 10x a better player than Williams, Williams managed to make it about "ME ME ME ME ME ME" and destroy what it could have been for Osaka. So if you think that Osaka is simply happy to win the US Open then you are incredibly misinformed and didnt watch the game, she was extremely apologetic about having murdered Williams on the court which she should never have been if Williams hadnt destroyed the moment for her.

Osaka should not have apologized. Williams losing by tantrum is the equivalent of "you can't fire me, I quit."
Shameful display by Williams.
QQZeMane 5y ago
I don’t know. Ms. Osaka played great, made her shots and kept her composure throughout the match. When the pressure was on, she won three straight games, including two consecutive service breaks, after going down 3-1 in the second set. That was what triggered Serena’s meltdown.
She did everything right, and deconstructed, both physically and mentally, a veteran opponent. It was a tremendous accomplishment on one of the sport of tennis’s biggest stages, and her opponent’s on-court, petulant-brat behavior does not diminish Osaka’s accomplishment one bit.
Not only that, but I think Osaka’s post match reaction, to having just won the US Open, was pretty normal. I probably would have reacted the same way

atticusfinch1973 5y ago
Another major factor about the Williams Sisters is that they are all about marketing and self-promotion - at least Serena has been - since the start of their career. The whole catsuit thing at the start of the open confirmed it.
This display of childishness and her arguing and whining also caused Serena to lose a whole game as a penalty. I've been watching tennis for over 30 years and I actually don't think I've ever seen that happen, especially in a major final. What this meant was that even though she lost, all anyone can talk about is her, she has videos all over ESPN and Youtube and suddenly she's relevant and trending again after being away for a year.
You think that wasn't planned? Her PR people right now are drinking champagne and partying.

SKRedPill 5y ago
Actually women gymnasts, athletes, and swimmers / divers are very good. Volleyball, Golf. They can also weightlift well. But overall it takes a bigger toll on their bodies and they need more time to recover, and the difference is always 15-20%. Once you take sports where the tool is more important (shooting) than the person, then it drops quite significantly.
Even badminton's good, better than its tennis equivalent (though when you compare it to guys like Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei....)
All this doesn't account for the fact that the overwhelming majority of women aren't nearly as interested in sports. I mean, try watching F1 or tennis and talk about stats and technicalities with your girl. I tried to get my cousins (girls) to play chess with me, and they got restless in minutes.
Besides after watching all the men's sports, I hardly have any time at all to watch women's. They're competing on viewership, and the obvious choice will be men's.
DominusABC 5y ago
As a fellow tennis fan, I fully agree with every point that you presented in this post. It was indeed a quite shameful Women's US Open final today to say the least. That event serves as a good example of the sorry state of our society when it comes to pedestalizing women, solipsism and straight-up nonsense.
At least the men's final should prove to be a great (and very different) sight to see, although I'm not a fan of Delpo.

If she had only left it alone after her initial monologue to the ump (“I don’t cheat to win. I’d rather lose”), she’d be a hero (even though she was, apparently, not only cheating but also lying about not cheating). The crowd fucking loved it. Never sell past the close.
Instead, she completely lost composure. The errors compounded and the rage destroyed any chance she might have had to get back into the match. On some level, she must’ve eventually rationalized that a loss was inevitable, and then it was simply an exercise in finding anything to blame besides her performance in the first set and loss of emotional control in the second.
The only apology owed here is from Serena to Naomi. She shat all over what should’ve been the proudest moment of that young lady’s life. Completely classless.

Football is all about bending the rules and tactically fouling as much as possible in order to get the upper edge. There's no honour or masculinity in high-stakes football, it's a covert, acted, psychologically feminine game, and the players are often man-children, they could never handle the pressure of the average tennis match.
Unless you meant NFL which is even gayer. A true farce.
Tennis is similiar to boxing, Man vs Man, Will vs Will, no one to rely on, no one else to blame, can't cheat; only the best, strongest, fastest, most enduring survive.

You know what? Football (⚽️ not ????) is probably the exception that proves the rule. While the men’s game at every level is littered with pansy asses flopping over the slightest touch dozens of times in a typical match, the women play hard through significant contact in an effort to develop an advantage and score legitimately. As an American, I actually enjoy watching women’s soccer, while I can’t take five minutes of the men’s game. I sincerely believe that the U.S. Women’s National Team could best more than a few men’s teams, especially our own.
IkWhatUDidLastSummer 5y ago
lol how can you enjoy womens soccer when they are so unbelievably untalented. I have actually played with womens best soccer player (Pernille Harder) and I OUTSHINE her in every category, im better on the ball, im more physical, im stronger, i shoot the ball better, she is not better than me on any single parameter and im not even a tier 10 player in my country. Womens soccer is so garbage you could take the #1000 ranked Under-15 team and they would smack the 11 best women. And other sports are like this too. Caroline Wozniacki one of the best female tennis players got smoked by a local guy in the tennis club who isnt even playing professionally and wouldnt rank top 5000 in the world.
Prison4SideofBeef 5y ago
I don't get how you watch womens soccer. The women keepers cannot handle crosses and routine shots and soft crosses regularly bounce off their hands. I also understand the athletic disadvantage women have but I don't know why tactically and skill wise they are so far behind the guys.
These divers in the male game do come across like bitches, but also they're doing it to get tiny little advantages. Selling a fake foul and getting your team a freekick in a dangerous spot can win games. They are so competitive they are willing to sacrifice their dignity in front of the world to get the W. Yes it looks ugly sometimes but it is what it is.
Basketball players also dive and regularly fake fouls too. It's the same shit, different sport.
Leviathan97 5y ago
Like I said, the constant stopping for these ridiculous fake fouls completely ruins it for me. I’d rather watch the women play as hard as they can than a bunch of pansies alternating between amazing athletic performances and acting like they’re getting murdered whenever someone touches them. I understand why they do it. What I don’t get is why they don’t just make taking a flop a yellow card for the first infraction and a red card for the second. That would stop it right there and dramatically improve the watchability of the game.
Basketball? Yeah, I don’t enjoy pro ball for lots of reasons, including the one you cited. College ball is better in that respect, I think.
Prison4SideofBeef 5y ago
That's why I stopped watching basketball and NFL. They break the rules and foul every single play, the ref just decides when they want to call it or not. It's all about marketing and ratings, not putting on a fair game between athletes.
NBA is the most rigged sport in the world, NFL is not far behind it and neither is soccer.
I like playing sports these days more than wasting time investing in the bread and circus distraction that is Pro Sportsball League.
The men play as hard as they can every play too. The women keepers can't even stop routine crosses and their tactics are high school boys level. You are just parroting Skip Bayless lol.
That's something I realized. When people "talk sports around the water cooler" they are just parroting what they saw last night on sportscenter 99% of the time.

Football is geared around taking the biggest and fastest guys -Fodder for the grid iron combat- and having one or two true thinkers dictate the pace.
Football's closest allegory is open field warfare: only the generals write the outcomes.
Tennis is closer to boxing than football is. The masculine part doesn't come from the player sizes or abilities (those are top tier at this level) but from the 1v1 battle of wills.
Football isn't soft or gay, but I don't think it's high on the manliest sport considering none of the players, save for a select few, can actually make outcome-effecting decisions.
In tennis, like boxing, when the player fails, there is no other blame but his own... No one to pick up your failures, no one to carry your bad day, no one to replace you when you go down. If you fail in boxing or tennis, you're done. Fail in football and 10 other guys can make do. Or you get replaced by the next string.

It's boring and slow, so much stopping and maneuvering, might be interesting to play when you're on the field but a real snooze to watch as a spectator.
It's exactly like Cricket. If your spectators need to memorise a huge rulebook to understand the game, and set-pieces and coach input is the standard, is it really a sport, or a theatrical play?

How can racism only be one directional?
MattyAnon Admin 5y ago
Because everything that ends in "ism" is assumed to be one way. It's part of the victim culture. A pretence of equality while being designed to give special privileges to only one group.
Black people are not racist. And the greatest lie of all: women are not sexist.
SKRedPill 5y ago
Speaking of sexist -- Women and other women...dear god. Much of the shaming of women is in fact a feminine invention.
MattyAnon Admin 5y ago
Right.
Slut-shaming from women is them trying to maintain the price of the one thing they offer men.
There's always a selfish motive that they try to hide behind "doing good for other women".
The classic "she has low self esteem" means "I would like her to stop devaluing my pussy by charging so little for hers".
Of course women will never accept any responsibility for their own actions so men have to be blamed somehow - regardless of how convoluted the reasoning.

She is definitely the best female tennis player ever, largely because her strength has never been matched by another pro female player.

kittyclaw200 5y ago
If Serena was playing during the Martina, Chrissy era she would have less than a quarter of her grand slam wins. Serena is not an intelligent player, Martina and Chrissy would have exploited Serena's weaknesses which are many. This current crop of women players have no grit or composure. Most of the other players have no more than 1 grand slam to their names. Serena is a beneficiary of a poor group of players in her generation.
Compare that to the current mens game where you have 3 GOATS playing against each other for many years and have amassed the majority of titles between them. 3 other non GOATS (Murray, Warwinka, Cilic) have a few grand slam titles over the last 10 some years between them. Murray and Warwinka will also be hall of fame inductees. It's really unbelievable.
dirtyplantsasha 5y ago
Here we go with the ifs, God I can't stand haters. She is one of the best tennis player in history deal with it. When people don't like a successful person they come up with all silly excuses as to why those people are successful. I had to listen how Brock lesnar was champion during a time of weak athletes. You share the same silly excuses because someone is at a position you don't attribute with said person but they are and the is nothing you can do but offer silly excuses.

freejosephk 5y ago
She is most definitely not the best female tennis player ever. In fact, she is painful to watch. She is inconsistent on the court and in her win-loss ratios, and she is undoubtedly the queen of the unforced errors. Twenty years in the sport and I still see her hitting off her back foot.
You compare Serena's winners to unforced errors ratio to that of Stefi Graf's and Stefi blows her out of the water; Stefi, who had an 81-3 year during one of her dominant years as champion. Translate that record to any other sport. It's an unheard of stat in any sport at any time in history. Only Michael Jordan's Bulls have ever had a similar record afaik.
Saying Serena Williams is the best female tennis player is like saying Shaquille O'Neal is the best basketball player ever. I mean, a case can be made for that but is he really? Or is he just big? Is Serena just a big tennis player? I argue that she is, because her technique and her stats don't match that of a champion.
I would much rather watch Stefi Graf or Justine Henin or Kim Clijsters play than I would Serena, just like I would rather watch Hakeem Olajuwan, Michael Jordan, or Kobe Bryant play over Shaq.
No, Serena is not the greatest tennis female player ever; she's only the biggest.
TopOccasion29 5y ago
I'm Late to the Party. Serena acted like a petulant child but she is in fact the greatest female tennis player of all time. She would beat graf, navratilova, evert, seles, hingis and so on. She makes the female competition in her era look average because she is that good. She doesn't have the grace or technique of graf but her power will overwhelm graf.
freejosephk 5y ago
Yeah, going over both of their wiki stats and wiki pages, Graf blows Serena out of the water by a long shot. It's not close either.
Plus, Serena had an only 8-6 record versus Justine Henin who had a much less powerful game than Steffi. There's no way of knowing how Steffi vs Serena would have played out in their primes and with the same equipment. What we do know is that despite Serena's much longer career Steffi still holds more weeks at no. 1, Steffi's record between 1987-1989 was 233-7, whereas Serena's best years were 78-4 in 2013 and 53-3 in 2015. And even given the fact that Serena has played more years than Steffi, Steffi still has 10 years of holding an over 90% win record to Serena's five of over 90%.
And it's not like Steffi didn't have power of her own, much more that Justine, for example, and accuracy and consistency as her records show. I invite you to look over them yourself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serena_Williams
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serena_Williams_career_statistics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffi_Graf
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffi_Graf_career_statistics
Sorry dude. I couldn't let it go. It's been bothering me for a few days and I had to take the time to actually review what I already knew from watching both players play. Steffi was orders of magnitude a better tennis player than Serena ever has been. Career-wise Steffi is 902-115 whereas Serena is 801-136 although I don't know how up to date this last stat is. Steffi's wiki page reads like a true dominant champion's and Serena's less so. And none of that shows just how much better in person Steffi was over Serena, the majesty of watching Steffi play versus the embarrassment of Serena's play. Even watching this last match against Naomi, I couldn't stomach watching Serena hit off her back foot like a bad middle school player. it's no wonder she's so inconsistent and so frustrated. Looking back at Steffi's videos is an entirely different experience. She had true shot making ability.
freejosephk 5y ago
Except she hasn't played a full schedule in over ten years and never had as dominant a year as Steffi in her prime. Her winner to unforced error ratio is atrocious and is consistently inconsistent. I stopped watching women's tennis because Serena is so awful to watch. She is not good. She is powerful. There is a difference.
askmrcia 5y ago
I see what you're saying. Shaq should have been the GOAT, but he was a lazy piece of shit (through his own admission).
I don't know that much about tennis to truly comment, but Serena has more wins then any woman no? That's the difference between your shaq anology. Shaq doesn't have the stats and rings to be considered the GOAT.
Serena does
freejosephk 5y ago
Shaq has four rings and plenty of MVP's. I'm not up to date on basketball stats but that's pretty good. My point was, however, that when it comes to Serena, you can't teach size. Which is fine; it shouldn't work against her. It's just the number of unforced errors and her bad footwork, in general, that make her awful. Yes, she's literally powered through her career, but it wasn't fun to watch, and it wasn't technical, which is important in tennis. I don't know how to communicate why that's important or how to compare that to another sport. Maybe pitchers are similar? Yes, size matters, but doesn't technique matter as well? I know it does in other sports. It's just that it matters more in tennis, I think, because it's not just once at bat, because it's more visible than linemen blocking, because it's more technical (probably) than basketball. And it's her lack of technique and good footwork that leads to her making so many mistakes. Like Boxing, I think. Size is a factor but you still look at technique but when the size is so much larger, then when considering goat status, you look at technique. It's the same in MMA. When you think about the p4p goat, you look at wins, yes, but you also look at technique.
Imagine you're playing 1 on 1 with your nephew, and you chunk up bricks but you out hustle your nephew and beat him. Are you the goat? It's a similar thing happening here. That's why I'm adamant that the Serena hype is pure nonsense.
Serena does have more wins but she's also had a longer career than most. Martina Navritolova is a very close second and she had a long career as well. Stefi Graf has 10 less years she worked with but her dominance during her peak years was absolute except when she had her rivalry with Monica Seles that was cut short because an insane fan of Steffi's stabbed her and shortened Monica's career. Steffi continued to dominate afterwards, but she did it with winners and very little unforced errors. And Steffi didn't even have a classically good technique but she understood enough about footwork and physics that she made her style work. Serena, after twenty years as a pro, still doesn't understand enough footwork and physics to avoid her many, many errors. She's painful to watch, a clumsy oaf compared to other female greats.

Serena has the most majors of the open era, in a time where the athletics and competition is much higher. She is clearly the GOAT of women’s tennis. To say otherwise is just ignoring facts
freejosephk 5y ago
There are stats and there are stats and there is technique. Serena makes too many unforced errors to seriously be considered the goat. She has the most titles but she also has the most errors as a champion, and she has poor technique. As a tennis purist, she is hard to watch. Who wants to see a bunch of unforced errors and poor technique? Compare Serena to Kim Clijsters and it's night and day from Serena's bastardization of the sport to Kim's athletic poetry. And Serena's inconsistent shot making has led to her inconsistent win-loss ratio. She's never had as great a year as Stefi or Martina. Serena is garbage. You may as well say Shaq is the goat. Every time I see Serena hit off her back foot I feel like I'm watching Shaq shoot a jumper. It's cringe. How can cringe be the goat? Nah, you're 100% wrong about Serena. To say Serena is the goat is to ignore everything there is to know about tennis.

SKRedPill 5y ago
In tennis, even 2-3% differences in stats translate into huge differences on court. Close matches are often separated by 1 point in 150, a discrepancy of 15 points is a wipe-out. The best players statistically, do everything a tiny bit better consistently again and again over the others, and this makes the difference between just good and legend.
Now consider that women and men in terms of peak performance differ by about 20%. Women generally use bigger, lighter, and more powerful rackets which are also more forgiving to play the way they do. Even with that, the difference in athletic performance is startling.

Men should be paid more if they were only playing 1 game. Because the level of that game is infinitely higher than a womens 3 sets. its not even funny. It doesnt have anything to do with the length of the match (3 sets vs 5 sets) it has something to do with men being infinitely better than women.
SKRedPill 5y ago
Consider this - the 4th set between Dominc Thiem and Nadal was longer than any women's grand slam match in the US Open - those guys were destroying the ball with a ferocity of another level. In those brutal conditions. And when the tie breaker in the 5th is gone, it gets crazy. This Wimbledon we had 2 crazy matches (Federer vs Anderson) and Anderson vs Isner (again), and the Djokovic - Nadal match went the full distance as well - two bull elephants at it. A 3 setter doesn't come close.

Middle Easterners and Indians have more testosterone than both blacks and Whites, I thought that this was well known? This is why they grow facial hair so easily.
The reason American blacks are muscular is because they have been bred like pack dogs for however long slavery was.
If you look at Africa you’ll see what I mean given that North, Southern and East Africans are thin and short.
I learned this fact about T score many years while I was still blue pilled in many things, so this could be one of them. I have tried finding studies to better revise the topic but I found all sorts of studies and I no longer no which institutions have what biases.
For example, this paper states that White and blacks have the same levels of T:
academic.oup.com/jcem/article/92/7/2519/2598282
SKRedPill 5y ago
Speaking of T, they've been revising the normal range of Testosterone downward over the years. They just did it again. Apparently a variation as huge as 250 ng/DL to 1000 ng/DL is considered normal now for young men - the first number was something which even my 80 year old granddad didn't have. That and sperm motility levels.
It's a tragedy that no one wants to talk about. But in my country the fertility clinic industry's booming, and it's claimed everywhere that sitting around, drinking, smoking, sedentary living are killing men's T and sperm.

This is something I was thinking about yesterday. We have systems in place to prevent obvious side effects from food and drugs, but nothing that can prevent silent slow changes in our bodies. Every day our average testosterone levels are lowering, due to plastic and who knows what else, and we're doing nothing but watching the gradual pussification of society. The insidious thing is that when it happens to everyone, it's hard to notice or understand the difference it makes, except that in a few generations the young men wouldn't even understand what it feels like to be a man.

Ok, I'm not calling her names, just analyzing her behaviour. It only serves to prove a point I've noticed since I read "A billion wicked thoughts". Women with higher testosterone can often act more masculine and outdo other women, but this also turns them into AWALT on steroids. The result is volatile.
It is also possible that women with high T have higher sex drives and outperform more feminine women, but are also more prone to bisexual or lesbian behaviour. For the record, the most successful player ever was Navaratilova.
