[...] at the MTV music awards interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech. I’m not the first to notice a connection between these events and it has to make me wonder is something going on in our culture these days [...]

Serena told the judge that she was going to shove the ball down her F'ing throat. She then went on to drop a number of f-bombs.

I guess I won't be cheering for her anymore. At least there is one sister worth watching.

Is that a suggestion that Serena's been doping? ;p

That is stupid way to end a match, and most tennis players smash their rackets when they are frustrated, or at least most of the Americans do.

I saw the whole thing. And contrary to popular belief, this is out of the norm for Serena Williams. Now she is arrogant and is hard-pressed to say good things about her opponents. But she is hardly in the mold of John McEnroe or Jimmy Connors when it comes to outburst.

It seems like her frustrations just overflowed and just lost all control. She should be fined. Maybe suspended from a Grand Slam. But I chalked this down as an aberration.
