she didn't threaten to kill anyone
I think that she told the judge that she was going to shove the ball down her throat. She was pissed off about a foot foul call.
Serena, Venus, are lanced. It's so damn obvious.
yeah, way to represent black professional sportspeople Serena.
If it's not firing off guns in nightclubs, running people over while being stoned and drunk, dog fighting, wanting to "get ma money" and holding out of contract signings when you are one of the very few people in the world lucky enough to be paid huge amounts of money to play sport, wanting to fight spectators - it's threatening to ram tennis balls down the throats of a harmless line judge half your size who was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN HER CALL!
Seriously, lets cut the f**king crap here and tell it like it is - is anyone really surprised.

Didn't John McEnroe used to get a little upset every once in a while?
Actually, during one of this weekend's rain delays, they showed an old Nastase-McEnroe match from when McEnore was probably 20 at most. Nastase had a complete meltdown, so over the top that even McEnroe looked on aghast.
Right after they showed that, they showed the modern-day Nastase sitting down and the woman who was with him was fine. Who was that? His daughter or his wife?
It says something good about the sport of tennis that being a jerk to the official is considered to be out of the ordinary. I wonder how many similar/worse comments an NFL official hears in any given game.

Sure, but as far as I know McEnroe never threatened to KILL anyone (which btw is actually a criminal offence). In my opinion "you can not be f**king serious - are you f**cking blind?" isn't nice - but is not really on the same level as "If I could, I would take this ball, shove it down your throat and kill you". I don't think anyone can argue against that.
McEnroe obviously got animated with linespeople, but never charged within a couple of feet of them waving his racket like a lunatic. I watched it live and for a split second thought she was going to whack her - she went absolutely wild.
Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, it is a worrying trend for black sportspeople. Is it just "da media" discriminating against blacks? Well to be perfectly honest I can't remember the last time a high profile white pro sportsman shot himself in the leg at a nightclub, fired off rounds at a nightclub and paralysed someone, was involved in dog fighting, got killed in a murder suicide by his 19 year old mistress, killed a pedestrian DUI, drove his boat drunk, was found with an arsenal of unregistered guns in his home or threatened to kill a 5ft tall Asian lineswoman being shoving a tennis ball down her throat.
It is what it is.
i was watching the match...she never said she was going to kill anyone. she said she was going to shove the tennis ball down her throat, albeit with a lot of curse words. the commentators even said that the foot fault was a close one and with everything on the line serena just got a little out of control...she's human after all. this will only make it worse for her doubles final tomorrow. her opponent is gonna wish she would have never lost the match tonight after her & venus unleash a royal ass whooping.

She threatened to start World War 3. Typical.

White pro sportsman? No.
White politician? Well...
McEnroe was far more obnoxious and disruptive and essentially a cheater on his best day than Serena on her worst. McEnroe used his outbursts to unnerve his opponents and get them off their rhythm and influence the outcome of matches. I'd be interested in seeing what a guy like Lendl, if speaking truthfully, really thought about McEnroe.
They need to be checked for hidden testicles.

Simon, take your hateful, redneck, hillbilly uneducated crap somewhere else. Sick, jealous little boy aren't you?
Who does she think she is? When she becomes a white man, then she can shout rude things at whomever she wants including the president of the United States. Until then, she needs to know her place. Shouting rude things at the president during an address to congress is protected by one's right to freedom of speech. Doing so during a heated athletic competition (with hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake) is clearly not protected and is a clear sign that our society is at death's door.

Saying "You lie." is quite different than a physical threat. If the senator said he was going to shove the microphone down Obama's throat, he would have been arrested.
BTW, Serena wasn't DQ'ed. She was assessed a 1 point penalty, which happened to be on match point.
