Stephen A. says Serena Williams was wrong for 2018 US Open controversy | First Take | ESPN

anyone who actually knows the rules of tennis and isn't a casual fan knows Serena was 100% wrong

+Roman Henry Lol dudeI'm off 2 night Add me on ps4 it'ssarg127Or come add me on switch

+Scizor 3000 I forgot about this thread, but fyi, you don't work a 14 hour shift...

I cant believe these people are justifying that disgraceful act of her.

Didn't Stephen A Smith point out Serena Williams was wrong? So, why did you say "these people" are justifying her disgraceful act?

Ok?

The white guy is a Serena apologist because he’s afraid of the race card. Let a brotha tell the truth.

+MikeyManMiami They tested Armstrong and he doped.

Harry Fishnuts you nailed it

Osaka WAS victimized, but not by the umpire, it's by the actions of Serena. Serena is the one who stole a great moment from Osaka with her SJW temper, and even though she doesn't give a shit, she should be ashamed. Funny enough, I'm writing this from Osaka, Japan.

Se

Actually, she does give a shit! That's why she asked the crowd to stop booing, during the award ceremony. Now, I agree that it is Serena's actions that spoiled Naomi's great moment. Serena was wrong and is completely reprehensible. But what transpired between her and the umpire, took place during gameplay. And I'm sure Serena would've expected any reaction from the crowd to take place during the time of the incident, not the award ceremony.

3:07 he's basically saying rules must be overlooked for vetrans like LeBron or Serena that's BS

You mean like Tom Brady?

It’s not veterans he’s talking about, it’s stars. Superstars who transcend the game. And even though I don’t agree with his overall opinion, he’s right in that regard. At the end of the day, sports is entertainment. People pay to see the biggest stars in the biggest moments, not the officials.

Those rare moments when Stephen A has it absolutely correct.

Ciaron Smith did you not listen to Stephen? Yes he sure as hell would have. He’s hardcore to everybody he umpires for. And that is his call because he is always acting with the rules and regulations of the game. You should probably listen carefully next time before making an argument that’s already been shredded

Hes right

It was her third violation. Her third. Do you know what it says in the rules for your third violation? It costs you a game. So how about we ask the real question that should be asked? At what point is in on Serena to get her act together and act professional? As someone who has played the game for the better part of three DECADES, and has won many opens, she knows the third violation is a game point. She should know that yelling and picking a fight with an umpire is never correct. Serena is the reason ...

miahgeorge99 many say she is a man, ugly man.

Preach

White dude acting like it’s the referees fault 😂😂 what an air head

Fade if he did not agree you would call the white guy a racist. He has a name asshole.

+Roger Lost Jewish people have white skin.

Max is an idiot. Lets remember this is the same guy that said that the Notre Dame mascot was racist.

ALL THEM WHITE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID THAT BONZO WILL GO BONKERS ON THEM AND PERCIEVED AS RACIST IF THEY CRITICIZE SOREren LOSER MAN, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE MAN!

I feel sorry for naomi osaka.

She probably didn't want all the attention, anyway.

+Liz Newsome You are a fucking moron
