Hispanics are often 'white’or slightly olive rather than pinky !

Bollocks to 'em. Just another bunch of SJWs travelling on the outrage bus.

And it will depend on the colour reproduction of the cartoon in the paper when it is printed.

Carlos Ramos returns to umpire’s chair after Serena Williams row as statistics back him up

As the now famous umpire Carlos Ramos prepared for his first match since the controversial US Open final, a new set of figures showed that men have received almost three times as many code violations as women in the past 20 years of grand-slam events.

Ramos was due to officiate on Friday in the Davis Cup match between Croatia and the United States in Zadar. On Thursday, a photo circulated of him in conversation with Katrina Adams, president of the US Tennis Association, who had been quick to support Serena Williams’s claims of sexist discrimination.

According to one reporter on the scene, Adams was overheard making an apology.

In a TV interview the day after the final, Adams told the ESPN tennis panel that “There’s no equality”.

But her claims were soon undermined by statistics showing that there were 86 code violations handed out to male players at the US Open, and only 22 to women. Now, a more detailed analysis of the past 20 years of grand-slam events has revealed a long-term split of 1,534 to 526.

Now will Williams apologise … :?:

What about those women who were quick to jump on the “sexist” bandwagon … :confused2:

Hmmmm…I read this and may change my mind.
Put aside your prejudices and read with an open mind, see what you think.

eg…Williams has also been backed by Billy Jean King and some male tennis pros such as Andy Roddick and James Blake, both of whom point out that they behaved worse on courts and were not disciplined by referees. Bless these feminist men. They get it.

Read it and it has not changed my mind on the Williams outburst.

She was losing and used a number of things to justify that with things that need looking into off court…not on court.

Those “opinions” are not borne out by the facts - see my post above yours … :wink:

What annoys me is that Williams thinks she is there to promote women’s rights (and stuff). She isn’t, she there to play tennis like everyone else. Women’s tennis is well established now and doesn’t need someone banging on about it. As for ‘the stuff’ well we all know what that means.

I think it’s a shame. I have always admired both the Williams sisters. To have two top tennis players in one family is amazing. Now, the whole ‘sexist, racist’ debate has overshadowed her skill as a tennis player, I doubt I would bother watching her play again.

She has had long days in the sporting sun a fantastic record .
Better to act with dignity and graciousness than look like a bad sport.

I am totally sick of hearing about her now. If ever I had an inclination to watch sport - she has killed it stone dead! Cannot stand spoilt brats!

I totally agree .
( and she looked absurd in that Lavender tutu too)

I missed that absurdity - thank goodness!:-D:-D

well at least she doesn’t get it muddied about on chat threads!!:lol:

:038::038::038::081::081::081:

And spat the dummy out of her big fat gob and not for the first time I might add.

All these lame brains in the media making out she really was making some Rosa Parks type stand against injustice (like EVERYONE on Any Answers).

What cobblers. They should be supporting the beleaguered umpire who was trying to follow the rules against foul play by a poor loser having a tantrum. .

None of you, I imagine, will be aware that Martin Samuel is Britain’s best sports columnist. He wrote a very good column on this issue and here he responds to the publics comments about it - and also, Yasmin Alibatshit Brown.

Thanks for the link some good comments on it.

Love the cartoon posted on this thread says it all.

The SJW/Snowflakes will shout its racist.

Normal people will think it makes the point when the Umpire says"Just let her win".

Her motto is I WILL win by any means necessary.
