In reply to the discussion: Every Serena Williams win comes with a side of disgusting racism and sexism [View all]MarianJack
(10,237 posts)37. I've been a tennis fan for DECADES.
Today, my favorite player is Victoria Azarenka, but I've always loved Serena. In my opinion, she is the greatest WTA player of all time. One of my favorite photos ever in tennis was after the 2014 US Open when Serena tied Martina & Chris with 18 Slam Titles each and the 3 of them posed for a picture together!
BTW, I'm a white guy who is turning 60 next week.
PEACE!

Why would VauxNews give these racist trolls a platform to spread their filth?

I bet most men that call her "manly" are jealous that she's stronger and more athletic than they are

Fortunately it says everything about the sad little hater racists and nothing about Serena
