anger, racism, depravity



Watch this video.


At this point, I don't care how well Serena Williams plays tennis. She showed such poor sportsmanship. In fact, it's not just an issue of sportsmanship, she completely lost herself and anger took control of her. Then I see something beyond not just sportsmanship and anger, but racism. The line judge was happened to be quiet Asian woman with completely reserved response. Serena's reaction toward the line judge was simply not acceptable. It was a death threat, "I will kill you." Even if it was a wrong call, such utterance shouldn't be made from professional athlete. I wonder if Serena Williams would have done and said the same if she was not the quiet Asian woman.
